Nothing like effects-related swag huh? user added image

When the winner is selected, I'll be asking the winner what size they prefer.

Sadly, waseem_184, its a little late for any completely new shots due to the complexity, but more importantly to be fair to the other entries, I stated the response to this issue already in the global rules here:
https://forums.simplymaya.com/showthr...threadid=28950
See the 3rd bullet point under the WIP THREADS section.

It basically states that producing your whole shot in the last few weeks of the challenge is not fair to the other entries.

HOWEVER, do not dispair!
This will give you time to prepare for the next Challenge coming in 3 weeks!

Here is a hint to everyone:
PREPAIR YOUR MAYA CAMERA PROJECTION SKILLS! user added image

So the next challange is a animation of some sort? user added image

I hope it leaves some more freedom then the current one, that is the main reason that I didnt participate, well that and that I have to work. user added image

Edit: "PREPAIR YOUR MAYA CAMERA PROJECTION SKILLS!"

Hmm he spelled prepare right the first time then he ended it with air, perhaps it has something to do with aviation. user added image

Only 2 more days to submit your rendered animations to the submission thread!

Good luck to all who entered!

PS, in the event nobody enters thier final shot in the FX CHALLENGE submission thread, I will decide the winner based on everyone's WIP threads.

HOWEVER, if ANYONE posts thier entry in the submission thread in the correct way as described, no matter how far they've gotten, I will be giving that entry far more thought!

I will be going over the entries Sat. afternoon, and I'll be posting the winners Monday morning, April 28th!

Also, the next challenge will begin May 5th!
So get your camera projection skills readyuser added image

UPDATE:

It has come to my attention that zipped or rared attachments larger than around 5 megs are not getting through.

So, in the meantime, PLEASE email me your zipped or rared animation at: ragecg@gmail.com

I will post all the animations at my personal site till we can find a solution in the meantimeuser added image

Thanks all!
