Surely you are mistaking “visual effects” for “FX”? Two different things. VFX is a broad spectrum term encompassing all manner of effects that come together to form a final rendered image, while FX specifically refers to particles, dynamics, etc. While I agree that the FX in the FXWars title should surely imply the use of particles and such, VFX doesn’t necessarily.

For some reason the links were not working. It would only load the video halfway. I uploaded the low res over top of the old file and it seems to be working now. The high res is in the process of uploading and should be done shortly. In the mean time, I am posting a youtube link as a backup.
