By submitting your content, you consent to the full publication of your animation content as part of the FLIP Fluids 2021 Customer Reel project and consent that your animation content may be used in paid advertising of the FLIP Fluids addon.
Yes, you can make up to three submissions.
You may also submit older animations that you have created, but our preference would be for newer creations that have not been publicly posted years ago. For past participants of the Customer Reel 2020, we will not accept re-submitted content and would take preference for something unique or different from what has been submitted before.
We cannot guarantee that your submission will make it into the final customer reel. Due to limited length, we will only be able to choose the best and highest quality submissions.
