Well Im sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that the winner of last months(ish) SFX exercise "Fire Me Up" is none other then: [size=14]Cel!!!!![/size] Cel's entry impressed the bejeezus outta me, and he has more then earned the last stage of the SFX activities available status, the SFX God! Congrats Cel, very well done, and very well deserved! I will PM you download instructions for your new banner soon. On to this months challenge: [size=14]Vapour Trails![/size] For this exercise you must depict the active vapour trail of a jetplane as it cuts through the clouds. This may sound easy, but trust me.... to get a realistic result will take some considered thought regarding how vapours move in the atmosphere. I highly suggest the use of reference material for this exercise! How you go about creating your effects is as always up to your own discretion, but there are some rules that must be followed: Them Rules The core scene must show a background consisting of the sky and clouds. Your BG may show other elements, but the aformentioned sky and clouds are a must. All entries can be animated with whatever program you choose to use, however final entries must be submitted as .swf. Screen size is to be set at 500 pixels wide by 300 pixels high. Animations MUST include a foreground and a background element. In this situation the BG element is the sky and clouds, the foreground element would be your jet plane. Final entries must be posted to this thread no later then April 15th, 2006 to be eligible.Judging will be based upon the best use of effects in order to create the scene as closely as described. Good luck to you all! Them Prizes Level 1 - The Effects Master Level 2 - The Effects Guru Level 3 - The Effects God Cel, you arent out of the running at this point! If you want to compete, feel free to do so.... we may have to make prize adjustments for you however! :lol: Enjoy folks, I hope to see some amazing animations from you all!

Seriously, what happens if I win this one too? Maybe I'll just make something but not compete for the prize. Unless there's a prize for me of course. lol |

The core scene must show a background consisting of the sky and clouds. Your BG may show other elements, but the aformentioned sky and clouds are a must.



Unless there's a prize for me of course. lol
