    That was seriously one of the worst music choices i EVER heard.

    • Chris

      @MJrolla07 Please feel free to submit a music track that you think works better. Send it to me at chris@mettle.com

    Pretty sweet music on that video.

    • Chris

      Thanks Cam :-) I will pass this on to the guy that created the music.

    so is this pure shapeshifter challenge or a modelling challenge??. i mean, can we submit something modelled in 3ds max, maya and use render passes in after effects, or else use element 3d … .. ? and submit them….
    from above i can pretty well guess that its a shapeshifter challenge… but still not sure and hope of being able to use 3d applications

    • MoveGraphicsMove

      I have the same question. Since we are required to download ShapeShifter, I am guess we are required to use it. I would like clarification as well on the use of other plugins.

    • Chris

      ShapeShifter AE and other plug-ins or you can add stuff created in full 3D apps of your choice but you need to use ShapeShifter AE too. – Thanks :-)

      नागेश, कम बोला कर बेन्चोद! तू साला बहुत बक बक करता है, नहीं तो तुझे भी
      संसार त्रिपाठी की तरह बैन करवा दूँगी भोसड़ी के! साला नेपाली चिंकी!

      • http://www.facebook.com/playplaynirmal Nagesh Kandel

        Who is this ? and what’s the matter with you!
        Are you here to learn Computer Graphics or bring about violence through such comments?
        If you have problems regarding me, my friend Sansar… or my country, then this is not the right place to cirticize, Come lets meet and solve them
        We all love this site because of its purity and quality. Don’t make it impure with your dirty thoughts
        Moreover, I can clearly see how afraid you are even to criticize… you wrote the comment in hindi language… so that many people here could not understand…

      @uniquefx
      The server was kinda “overwhelmed” this morning. Please send your request again. You should get a response within 12 hours of sending your request. Sorry about that. All should be good now. Cheers,Chris

      I was just about to ask this, thanks.

  • JP

    How can someone with CS5.5 get the “S” logo? Please don’t state the obvious smart-a** answer either. :P

    Or is this just open to peeps that are on CS6?

    • http://www.facebook.com/mettle.montreal Mettle Montreal

      @JP
      The .zip download files should contain both CS6 + CS5.5 versions. If the ones you have do not then download again. We just swapped them this afternoon. If you need a CS5 version then get in touch with (chris@mettle.com) and I will set you up.

      Cheers.

        Thanks for doing that…I hope to get to CS6 soon (3D camera tracking…*drool*). I can’t wait to see all the entries!

      • http://www.facebook.com/mettle.montreal Mettle Montreal

        CS6 has some great features. I am a big fan of the new cache and the variable feather masking. The camera tracker is very cool too :-)

    So i can’t use Element 3D? darn…

    • http://www.facebook.com/mettle.montreal Mettle Montreal

      Nick we encourage the use of other plug-ins as well. But we insist you use Shapeshifter AE in your project.

      • Nick Pavlovits

    I’m sure you’re already aware, but you’re alienating about 90 % of mac users by not supporting AMD cards.

    • http://www.facebook.com/mettle.montreal Mettle Montreal

      @ Josh
      I wish we could support ATI/AMD on the Mac :-( FYI, not 90% and we are not the ones that chose to alienate anyone. We have been lobbying ATI/AMD and Apple for over a year now to support things that NVIDIA and Windows has been supporting for years. Ultimately Apple is a closed architecture and they decide what make sit into their OS installs. We have no control nor does ATI/AMD really. So blame Apple. Or better yet lobby Apple to support openGL properly. Notice we are good to go on Windows on both ATI/AMD and NVIDIA. We do not support Intel onboard graphics – not robust enough yet for what we do. I know Intel is working this.
