HOMAGE TO THE SPINNING CUBE CHALLENGE 2012- Welcome to our first challenge for 2012 -Everyone has seen the archetypal spinning cube demo. It's been done a million times and there's probably noone here that didn't cut their teeth on this classic demo theme.
This time the challenge is to take the spinning cube demo to a whole new level. Give it a facelift and bring it spinning into 2012!
You could add more cubes or more colours, incorporate it into another fx, distort it, spin it through time and space. Basically anything your imagination can stretch to. The only thing is that your demo must feature the famous spinning cube as its central theme.
Here are some videos that might inspire you
(turn the music down for this one)
Here are the rules.
