Yes. I see it in the picture below. Below here is the cake I’ve been created from Dominator:

When you look at the VDL, do see any characters inside of { } curly braces?

Hi, Drew. I need help, because the response say ” Your response is too large. Try shortening some answers.” How can I submit it already? I’m almost done.

  There’s the video for reference…   I’ve got the VDL pretty close but am running into an issue where it is treating the “white strobing willow tail” as a parent particle for the “red tip”   1.2″ 0.40s 0.20 PFT 13 Shot Red Tip W/ White Strobing Willow Tail w/ White Strobing Mine Comet Z Shape Cake (1 Row)   How would you separate the child/parent particle so the comet itself is a red tipped comet but has a white strobing willow tail? Basically, making it look like the red tip is emitting the tail particles.

I get that already. Thanks, Drew.

Hi Aaron, here are replies to your questions.   Aaron “The Pyro Man” Michael (Platinum Fireworks, Inc.) wrote: Hi, Drew. I have one of the following questions regarding to the rules:   1. The spreadsheet contains all the details for the 10 cakes you will need to create to enter the contest. Q: Is it okay to create all of the real life cakes or just choose one?   To enter the contest, you need to create simulations for all 10 cakes listed in the spreadsheet.       2. Using only Visual Descriptive Language (VDL), make simulations for all 10 cakes listed in the spreadsheet. Your objective is to create simulations that look as similar as possible to the videos of the real-life cakes. The limitation is that you may not use the effect editor. This means that the effects in each cake must be human-readable VDL. In addition to visual similarity (effects, angles, firing pattern, timing, etc.), make sure that your cakes match the information provided in the spreadsheet. For example, if the spreadsheet specifies that a given cake has a size of 1.25″, be sure the cake you create is 1.25″. Q: How can I do that if I create a cake in all 10 cakes in the spreadsheet?   Thanks in advance, AARONTHEPYROMAN   Sorry, I’m not sure I understand this question. There are 10 different cakes listed in the spreadsheet. You need to create simulations for each individual cake. When you are done, you should have VDL descriptions for 10 separate cakes.
