It is put on the front page to make those of us doing the challenge sweat because we are running out of time.

Hello Roberto Ortiz!

You opened the resolution of the animation for discussions.
Is it possible to render the animation in for example 400x200? Or 512x384?
Or even 320x160 with a black bar at the top an bottom to get 320x240?

Considering the degree of dificulty of this project, I have no problem with the rendering resolutions and methods you have mentioned.

Good luck.

This contest must really be amazing, since it needs two frontpages in two weeks. Let me guess, there will be another in a week? :shrug:

I’m just worried that this might grab attention away from some of the awsome work I’ve been seeing on cgtalk lately. Since it’s already too late to enter this contest, I don’t see the good in putting it on the frontpage.

This is a 20sec commercial that I did in mfx ( www.mfx.st ) .It’s about a giant sandstorm chasing over 600 cars. It’s a done in maya and composite in Shake and Tremor.
