Best Overall Entry: Derby-Q Salano

My reasons for why I chose what I chose are because Derby-Q Salano’s work is stunning overall, especially all the ropework and Characters, however, I loved the speed and “Action” of the Castle “Debris” in Cory Christensen’s work.

All entries were amazing. Well done to everybody who entered this challenge :thumbsup:

I think Cory hit the physics best (especially wall impact), but Derby went the extra mile in putting the dudes in and creating the whole atmosphere. Nice work everyone. I did like that nerf one that knocks down the blocks. Heh.

Cory, might I ask…what did you use in LW for the rope dynamics? How they bounce around? That is pretty awesome!

I second what Ace Freley is saying…Cory definitely had the wall impact and I really liked his camera work also.:thumbsup:

Rhino169, my last name is spelled “Frehley” with an h. Don’t worry, Gene and Paul always got it wrong as well, so they just stuck to calling me “Ace.”

I think it is a shame that Derby-Q posted his work so fast, there’s a lot of copycats, even the WIP renders are the same of his in some threads… well…
Cory’s camera motion is bothering me, and if towers back then shattered like his, there might not be one brick on top of another anywhere, nice tower though. Also, I like the setup of Derby-Q’s treb better.

It was a hard choice, but I really like Derby’s. Corey nailed the “explosion” though.

Props to grau.

Edit: Not who I meant. The guy who did the plastic toy one. :slight_smile:

I couldn’t get some of the links to work, so I’m not sure if I can fairly vote or not but, of the two favorites, I would have to go with Cory C. in this tight horserace.

      Best Simulation: Cory C.
      Best Animation: Cory C.
      Best Overall Entry: Cory C.

Even though I liked the extra touch of the men and stuff in the D.Q. Salano entry;
In my opinion the physics of the exercise was more important and Cory C. really did great on the impact of the projectile hitting the castle. Nice low angle too.
Makes me want to try some hard/soft body effects with my copy of LW8.
Great work everyone!

agree’d with webhead, that final impact got my votes, those bricks falling down are very tight

congrats cory

I agree, I vote for CORYC for all three catagories. Sorry about the quote. I’m being lazy. :slight_smile:
