The time limit to get files off a different computer is absolutely brilliant. It actually makes even the starting points of both contestants incredibly different. I'd absolutely love to see more of this, it's such an amazing concept for a show.

[@jakekayden4061]

But corrupting the files was annoying

[@Keynacrad]

The renders are lacking alot of assets tho, so more time would be cool. Like 5 min

[@alfonsputzeys9228]

I noticed that single file copies are Faster than vast multiple files in multiple seperate copy actions

[@zig131]

@@jakekayden4061 That could be avoided by using a more resilient file system with journaling. Or at least running a Chkdsk on them which would flag up and ask to remove the corrupted files.

Agreed I'm a fan of Iron Chef myself so that made it feel authentic

[@fishyboi98]

I love how in any kind of VFX competition that Peter's in, his biggest strength/weakness is that he just turns in a different assignment. Like if you asked him to build a house, he'd have a fantastic three-layer cake ready for you by the end of the week. It's a great cake, but it's not a house.

Suggestion for the format: The Iron Artist Judges should have monitors that show both competitor's monitors so they can comment on technique and ideas! I think a bit more commentary during the creation phase would add a lot of fun!

"Hell's Blender" 2 teams. tasked to create an animated loop scene through a typical animation pipeline. Judging: Textures and models, animation, story, composition, and lighting. Stage 1: Instead of just downloading assets. Do a scavenger hunt with Asset USBs around the office, or outside. They have a certain amount of time to find as many USBs as they can. Stage 2: They have a 10 minute planning to prep what they're going to do. (Or no prep, each member of the pipeline goes in blind to what the previous person completed) Stage 3: Random Challenge out of a hat. Write down a bunch of challenges to make the process harder and put them in a hat. Who ever is working has to draw out of the hat and complete the challenge while working on the project. (examples: holding an spoon with an egg on the end in their mouth while they work, for 15minutes or something, or instead of a chair they have to use a exercise ball, or change the mouse DPI or sensitivity really high, etc) Stage 4: Final render and winner decision. Winners get gift cards to a nice restaurant while the loosers have to clean all the bathrooms and entire facility. This really got my create juices goin. haha. Love the new show guys!
