The potential consequences of an arm wrestling match gone wrong. Gore warning: broken bones and surgical procedures.

A spiral fracture can happen in your upper arm if the force is too great while you’re arm wrestling. This happens when the bone twists and snaps due to the leverage and torque during a match. If severe enough, doctors will have to carefully reposition the bone fragments and secure them with metal plates and screws. This could require weeks of physical therapy before you can challenge the opponent again in a rematch.

I used Blender 4.2 and the Cycles render engine to create this short for Zack D. Films. I used a variety of assets from websites like Turbo Squid, and CG Trader for the characters, props, and backgrounds. For some of the tools I had to model them myself, such as the retractor and drill. I also used a cloth sim for the rubber tube animation during the physical therapy shot.
