This week we thought it’d be fun to share some entries created for the Rebelway FX Challenge Hosted by The Rookies.
Jonas was drawing inspiration for his entry from the design in Star Craft and World of Warcraft. His plan was to create visually interesting FX by playing with the contrast between light and dark.
Even though Arvid isn’t allowed to enter the challenge (he was a pro), he decided to create this insane project to practice his skills. This was his first big FX project that was done in Houdini.
For the challenge, Daniel has created a lava monster fight with Iceman. He has been working on this entry in his free time every day since December.
Tyler created this project for the Pro FX Artist category. The project was created done in Houdini, Substance, Nuke and rendered in Arnold.
This is John’s first time that he attempted a project of this magnitude. In the challenge, he used a variety of effects, from rigid bodies to FLIP and Pyro simulations to procedural animation.
Erhardian decided that his scene will take place underwater, which give him the opportunity to create a lava cooling effect combined with the hot steam.
This is Daniel’s first contest. For his entry, he decided to create a shield made out of roots that the hero summons from the ground.
