I was under the impression the next FX wars was nuke? I’m guessing this has changed as always?

#152

what the final decision

i wannna get started

#153

“All Consuming”

That alone could lend any number of approaches I think.

#154

Maybe next challenge can be something slow-motion?

Some examples:

Why not creating some elemental war !
That might be fun XD

#156

Some suggestions, just in case anyone’s interested:

Fuel air explosion - With a destruction potential rated just below a nuclear weapon, an explosion caused by a fuel air bomb could be an interesting challenge because of it’s unique detonation method and subsequent devastation.

Shot down! - basically to show a plane being shot down in carious ways. The challenge could have the contestants depicting the cause and subsequent crash of the aircraft.

Any word on what the next FX Wars topic will be?

#158

I’m also curious about this.

Cheers,

Guys go to the HCR modeling forum…
The pre production threads for the next fxwars challenge have been running for almost a week.

#162

“The Wave…”

We are still working on developing assets for Invaders from Mars.

#163

Any ideas when the next FXwars will be happening??

#164

Roberto;

Every time I check up on the FXWars forum, I get so pumped and excited. I’ve participated in one or two (it’s always the limited time) but this current one looks so cool!

Anyway, just wanted to give you props for continuing to run such a cool competition and hopefully I’ll be able to participate in one of the forthcoming ones. Such nice work going on here…

I came across this the other day and thought it was just amazing:

I’d love to try something like this (yes, I know it’s extremely complex) but it could be a great idea for a future challenge.

Cheers,

This is a fantastic Idea.
I live in Washington DC and I could film some plates in HD. We could do some animatics to preplan the shooting of those plates.

#167

Awesome!!! I would be keen to participate in this!!!

#168

Another (original, I hope) idea: Making of crop circle. I think it’s interesting one, as no one proved how they are made, the only thing we see is the end result. Modelling is pretty simple, unless you want to use a harvester :wink:
