Hmm... googling the name looks like it could be pretty interesting but It would have to be a long deadline time. :)

I think a great challenge would be modeling your favorite actor/actress/singer's face! that would be a great one! it would be a very "challenging" challenge though, it would have to have a long deadline for some people

I like that idea Blazecon0, or perhaps to model your vehicle as you wish it was (ie with modifications!)

The face of someone would be a very challenging challenge indeed simply because of Anim8or's limitations when it comes to rendering realistic skin.  I'd like to take a crack at it if it does become the next challenge.

I like the idea of making your own vehicle. Easier than the face but challenging especially if we are going to make a metallic surface. For me metal is easier than flesh in anim8or.  :D

I was thinking something that has to do with wind would be interesting to do.

the most realistic movie-effect maybe, or a machine, or an optical image, with prisms, lenses and so on....

Yeah. A vehicle challenge would work. As long as you can make a vehicle that travels in air, space, water, land, rock, etc., I'm in.

Ok so far most of the challenges have just been modelling, how about a challenge where everyone downloads the same model (of an interior / exterior) and the challenge is to create a still render or video to invoke a certain effect / genre (hard to explain)

Ie. a model of a hallway: Turn it into a horror render using different lighting, additional models, effects, editing etc.

A texturing and lighting challenge is a great idea. It would be important to get a scene that can have any mood though. I don't think it would be good to limit it to just one certain mood(Only a horror scene), but rather allow any mood. A simple hallway can be scary, happy, mystical, mysterious, sad, rustic, old, new, and many others. Then we would have a better showing of submissions, and let people see other creative ways of making the same simple thing look entirely different.
