We are thrilled to introduce the AI Effect Challenge – a three-month-long challenge for creators and VFX artists to showcase their creativity and technical skills in AI-powered effects. This challenge is an opportunity to experiment with AI Editor in Effect House to design AI-driven interactions, push the boundaries of generative effects, and craft unique, intelligent experiences. Learn how to use AI Editor to create your effects.
In addition to the main challenge, we will introduce sub-challenges throughout its duration, giving you even more chances to win prizes and gain recognition.
Sub-challenges are mini challenges designed around the latest trends and viral effects, offering extra opportunities to show off your skills and win prizes. Each sub-challenge will focus on different themes of game effects, encouraging you to experiment with new mechanics, interactions, and visuals.
Create amazing AI effects through interactive gestures like hugging, posing, and styling new outfits using the new AI Video feature in AI Editor. Try using the new Ultra Portrait and Ultra Stylization base models in AI Editor.
To use the AI Video feature, you must be a Platinum or Diamond Badge creator. If you do not yet have access to the feature, please complete this application form.
