Wren was the host, an iron vfx artist, and a judge. Truly a wrenaissance man.

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

[@MarcusCOW03]

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.

[@rocketboarder8464]

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.

should have done about 30 more cuts to faces with reactions while you were waiting for that suspenseful moment to announce the winner at the end

[@Crashlikag6]

This deserves more upvotes

[@RogueNoble]

And then cut away to the sponsor right before Wren announces the winner.

Secret ingredient: “fluid based” In everything there is a sense of motion. These dishes should comprise themselves with the motions of water, snow, wind, sand, etc. be it from a still render to a mini movie.

"yes! this one! I want this one!" - Me after seeing this comment. 2022

Not going to lie the very first thing I thought of when reading your comment was the song Seven Tears Are Flowing To The River by Nargaroth. Not sure why but fluid immediately made me think of thar.

I need more of Wren looking at himself as renders trying to figure out what life is.

[@VorpalStorm]

When the secret ingredient was announced, I was sure it was that damn teapot. So it should absolutely be the next secret ingredient. =]

[@DavidBeddard]

Me too!

[@solosolipsist]

+1 for good ol' Utah Teapot!

[@LincolnDWard]

That, the Stanford ceramic bunny, or the Blender monkey. But yes, the teapot has the longest history so it should definitely be the next secret ingredient.

[@Koalanib]

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!

[@bassemb]

Great idea!

[@RodsOnly1]

Great idea but add the judges to a call with the artist and make them judge or critique them but they can’t close the call

[@croc_moat2327]

Yeah I thought about this too cool idea

[@mrvvoo]

Yes!

[@yurimaxdecarvalho8523]

We need mid-show interviews, like what they were thinking at that given moment. Other than that, the gameshow reality format is spot-on!

[@charliemanning3416]

This could be really funny

[@fizban7]

FUKUI SAN!!!!! yes Ota?

[@legolizard3d]

I dont really think there is a need for this, they can talk to the camera at that moment directly

[@fourcgames7568]

0:15 - 0:20 I have never seen Wren look so cool. Such an amazing shot lol.

[@feoryas580]

But then the shot after was so much better XD

[@RuffianTux]

I really enjoyed how genuine Jordan's reaction to winning was. Everyone knows how talented and abstract Peter is. I imagine Jordan was genuinely surprised and relieved to beat Peter in this challenge.

[@Hi_Buddy-cw6pl]

You guys freaking nailed the iron chef bibe, including Wren revealing the “secret ingredient.” You should make this a full thing. Although I think that Wren has to do a backflip and bite into a processor like the host on iron chef

[@EweChewBrrr01]

That must of hurt the chef's teeth biting into that processor. :P

[@Optimus97]

"Looks like someone wants to step into the Blender?" "Not unless I escape... like *Houdini.* " Yooooo

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

Jordan's meme was just 10/10. Pure meme royalty. Nothing less than a legend and what makes it even more epic is the fact he basically rushed it in the last few minutes. Just by the looks on Wren and Niko's faces i knew he was going to win. His renders weren't as detailed or complex as Peter's, but the topic was always there. This is the first time i witness Peter clearly being outdone by someone else.

[@timebomb418]

When I heard Wren say "Possibly the oldest 3D model of all time" I totally thought that the secret ingredient was the Utah Teapot. So I think next time that should be the secret ingredient.

[@ianglenn2821]

The teapot! Or at least do the teapot as a bonus spice

Secret Ingredient for a future episode: Mirrors! What do they reflect? The condition of the artist? The environment they exist in? The audience?

Loved this pilot episode! Can't wait for more! Great job to the entire team!

[@dbrokensoul]

I was looking for a snack, but this video gave me a hearty meal. I really love the concept and the format. Like usual, the comedies and jokes are brilliants. I think making the Appetizer, Main Course, and Dessert like this is really smart. It brought up different skill sets for each course. Really love the Appetizer 's concept. Making a render with only that one object. Both Jordan and Peter delivered an amazing appetizers. This need to be a regular show! I love it very much!
