Lots of ways to represent an image should be a whole funhouse of different effects.
Going on past results I can't wait!
I really hope that we see some new effects.
I had a really hard time coming up with a theme this time - I almost did a framebuffer comp but I thought that would exclude too many platforms and I threw a few other ideas away too.
As it's summertime the easy option would have been just to run a summer demo comp.. It didn't feel right to do that though.
The challenge is always to find a loose theme that everyone can have a go at, and also for it to allow loads of flexibility so everyone can get creative. The danger with that is that you have to cover the bases and make sure that the rules are fair and don't cause confusion which can lead to the downfall of a comp.
I have no clue what the next one will be after this so make the most of it and if anyone has any ideas for future themes, please pm them to me and I'll consider them carefully!
