WIREFRAME CHALLENGE 2011

:clap: -Welcome To The Wireframe Challenge- :clap:


This time the challenge is to create something entirely defined by wireframe graphics.

This means that the theme is completely open to your imagination, however, everything that is rendered in your production has to be defined by wireframe!

It is perfectly fine  to add render and lighting effects such as like glow, blurr and sparks to your demo, in fact it would be really cool to see something tron like and neon!  It's cool to cull hidden lines or show them if you want.  You can even use polygons, as long as the image is entirely defined using wireframes. Perhaps you'll take a more physics like approach and build some structures that can fall apart, it really is wide open and it will be totally cool to see how you interpret this idea.



Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

If you want to do something with loads of glow, here's a nice Neon Show:


Maybe you'll want to go all Pink Floyd and make a Lazer Show:


Or perhaps you'll take a more traditional approach and make something that looks like Vib Ribbon:


Or maybe you'll make a 3D demo and Define it with beautiful glowing lines like ASD Rupture:





It's really your choice how you interpret this one, as long as what you do is defined by wireframes then it's cool!




  :) Here are the rules!  :) 




  • Your Demo must be made out of wireframe graphics, or be defined by wireframe graphics (your imagary is clearly defined by wireframe graphics around the edges).
  • You can use any platform that is compatible with Windows 7, windows XP & Vista.
  • You may write something for web browsers as long as it works in IE8 or Chrome or FF4 (or all!) - If you use flash, please provide a link where people can see your demo. If you are placed in the top 3 your .swf will be added to the site as a .zip file

I'm waiting for inspiration, while I recover from a sniping attempt at my monitor and my keyboard is missing...  :D

Flash doesn't do complex wireframes at a high framerate, so I'll see how far I can push it.

My entry is almost ready. I'm not sure how I can improve on it before the dealine to make a better second entry, but I'll see if some more inspiration hits me.

I just need to work on a few finishing touches, but the main effects are in place.

If you know where you went wrong, the second attempt should be even better.

My first attempt is up. It's a ball. I could have gone with a cube, but I didn't want to make something too simple.

Hopefully everyone else will have more interesting shapes.
