Win hardware from NVIDIA and PNY by entering the Expanding Machines giveaway by August 30th: www.pny.com/promo/professiona...
During the month of July, I challenged 3D artists to create their best 3D contraption, with the goal of getting a chrome ball from point A to point B in a set amount of time. Today on the livestream, @PeterFrance and myself will show off the Top 100 renders, and announce the winners of the Dynamic Machines render challenge. Top 3 U.S. artists will win awesome prizes from Nvidia and PNY, and the Top 3 international artists will win limited edition prints, and top-tier access to my Patreon for a full year.
Subscribe for the Top 100 render montage dropping next weekend, and the all renders montage dropping the weekend after that.

Surprised the one from 17:08 didn't make at least top 3, this was my personal fav, having the most flair and style after watching entries from start to finish
Agreed, it is amazing
Damn, I had completely forgotten it by the end and that one hit me like a rocket! I'm a little sad but testament to the whole collection maybe?
this work is my top 1
Yeah, that one was just insane.
I expected this one to win :)) just beautiful art
17:10 blew my mind, that has got to be my personal favorite!
I'm really disappointed this one was not among the winners
wow next level
That one deserved to be top 10. Amazing.
this should've been second place! (maybe clint didnt think the contraptions were "intricated" enough?!) I agree about the harry potter being first place (and the cabin woods being third) and btw, top Internationals >>> top USAs
That was super amazing
Can't believe I made it to 2nd place in international( 2:09:59, 3:06:41 ). Really appreciate great comments from Clint and Peter! Can't wait to see the compilation of all entries.
LOVED the sound design in yours. It really made it that much better.
So good
@@imanmoshari Very happy you enjoy the sound design, thanks Iman
Nice and beautiful work, glad to see a Taiwanese shines here.
Congrats!
17:08 how did this not make top 10? I honestly thought this will be the International winner. Saw it on his YT channel and thought it'll be an easy win.
Whats the name of yt channel??
@@govindyt301 kzhead.info/sun/ecaOmsh6oWmbip8/bejne.html
It's beautiful visually, but not rube goldbergy enough imo. there's a solid second or two where nothing is really happening
@@fourpapa1 I agree 100%.
I also really like... but something to consider is the when the fan dude hits it, the ball becomes out of frames for a few seconds; so maybe that's where they also grade it as well....... however its very well done visually EDIT: looking back it wasn’t out of frame but the ball was definitely lacking behind and rush all the action at the end…. If the ball was on the umbrella just a second left it probably would had made it better…. And as others said (I didn’t know this was a Rube Goldberg contraption) this isn’t really a Rube Goldberg… very cool still though
For anyone wondering from Corridor Crew, around 2:24:50 they start talking about Wren and Jordan's zombie render
17:08 Japan is the winner for me🤩
Agreed, most memorable for me too!
39:54 So happy to have made it into the top 100, I wasn't expecting that! Congrats to the winners!
freaking loved yours! esp the little details they didn't mention like the hand waving bye before the shoot. Great job
I loved the little bleeps and blips! And the cannon explosion is so meaty!
Loved yours
This one was actually my personal favourite while watching the full compilation!
Definitely one of the best.
I'm pretty sure the render at 2:39:40 is playing megalomania btw
i was thinking the same thing lol
megalovania* but yeah
how did I not notice that
Now I can't unhear it :p
17:08 VS the International winner. I pick the first. just waw. The international winner....well deserved.
this should've been second place! (maybe clint didnt think the contraptions were "intricated" enough?!) I agree about the harry potter being first place (and the cabin woods being third) and btw, top Internationals >>> top USAs
@@lickingfrog to be honest completely, winner and runnerups are prettey lame compared to other ones that made top ten
17:15 the guy from Japan. Super awesome, best of the bunch.
IMO (I have no idea how this didn't make it to top 3) 20:58 would have been my top 1. Amazing visuals, sound, lighting, depth, movement, Fire, smoke, and water effects. Everything was there, this person checked every box. Jaw dropping
It may be because of lighting
cause they were eating xD
the ball that came in isnt the same that left, totally ruined the continuity of one ball going through the whole thing and disrupts the entire goldberg machine.
2:17:50 Wooow, I made it to the top 100? That's insane 😍 This whole challenge is beyond everything. So much creativity and talent. Awesome... Thanks for this!
Loved yours!
This was such a great idea
Dude yours was by far my favorite, hands down, the Indiana Jones concept, the lighting, fucking amazing.
Oh thank you all a lot for your feedback, that's so nice to hear :)
Wuhuu nice, 21:00 I made them choke on their cookies :D Awesome work everyone! PS: And please don't ever quit 3d Peter!
😢 u r winner for me
@@custodydrama9693 Thank you, appreciate it!
Contrats for making top 100, even with your background problem !! ;)
@@blourfblourf6385 Thanks! :)
@@ashu7653 there is even one kneeling and fixing something :D So many details!! He uploaded the original btw kzhead.info/sun/osiEo62ebqpmg6c/bejne.html In the stream it's kinda blurry
Had to wait till almost the very end at 2:47:05 to find out I've managed to get top 100. Seeing Peter's reaction to my work was priceless. Congrats to all winners and other top 100ers (shoutout to the discord gang!), and to those who were rooting for me, sorry I've let you down, but there's always the next challenge!
you did a reeeeeaaally good job. absolutelly atmosferic stuff. you def deserve top3 place.
Dude yours is my favorite. I love how there is like a mini sci-fi movie in it
Ayyeee made it into top 100 :D (55:42) Thanks for the challenge Clint! It was a pleasure making that and learning so many new things on the way!
I have a question, can someone help me? Where can I find a complete tutorial on how to make something similar to any one of these projects? I'd like to be able to make something like these one day, but other than 3D modeling and 3D animation (and each of those are BIG subjects), what else do I need to learn? It seems I almost need to learn filmography and drawing too...
Congrats, it's great!
I knew you would make it, yours was fantastic!
@@darthvadeth6290 join the discord
Yours was a Top 5 for me! Loved it
2:15:55 one thing I noticed but you guys didn't mention, is the reflection of an actual arcade in the background, with accurate parallax and everything.. really gives it a nice depth and grounds it in reality.. there were a few others that did a similar effect as well.. really awesome work by everyone, truly fascinating!
1:02:58 my personal favorite out of all of them. reminds me of myself at work lmao big ups to the creator of that one
I believe it's a direct reference from Terry Gilliam's Brazil movie, with the propaganda posters, the small grey office, and the magnifying glass
Definitely a podium 👌
I agree. I'm not a VFX person at all, so I can't say anything on the technical end, but for story and creativity, that one was great.
2:46:00 Yey ..I made it. Thank you. Those yellow chiming sticks also make the “thug life “ music when the ball hits them. I think no one noticed that ;____;
congrats bro. making india proud with your skills. thank you..
I knew India will make it in top 100. Congratulations
OMG! Thank you SO much for the kind words! Can't believe my lil portal render ( 2:28:29 ) made the top 100 I will defo make more 3D stuff now This means the world to me ❤️
Bro its incredible, great work from France ! Keep it up 👌🏾
Even tho I did not make it into the top 100 I feel already very honored to see my animation together with all these other amazing renders in the intro @ 3:57 Great job guys. Looking forward to the next one.
Good job man!
Lovely piece of work.
It was awesome!
Well done! A lot of great work by a lot of amazing people!
My mom personally loved yours as her favorite
Yay 3rd in international! Thank you so much! So many good ones, must of been hard to choose. Can't wait to see the full compilation.
yours was soo good with like the cat and the parrot
Yours was the best of all of them in my opinion.
2:58:15 they start announcing winners
thanks dustin
Pwnisher - you have discovered a very special formula. I am loving these types of competitions ESPECIALLY this one as each video leads to the next!
Shocked and Honored to be apart of the Top 100, and hitting 2nd Place US! Congratz to all!!! 🐸🐸🐸 Just the best community!
Loved your dynamic machine. It’s so fun.
I knew you'd do well!
I was recommended your channel week ago and i knew it you are going in top...
Looks like you have great devotion towards frogs.😂
I just checked out frogrun from your channel. I love your aesthetic, it's insane the work that must have took. New fan :D
1:14:00 Surprised they didn't notice the guy shits himself when the ball drops into the water. lol
I think it’s intended to be piss, but I agree they should have noticed lol.
Thanks for uploading the streams to your KZhead, much appreciated. The positive vibes are immaculate
Would love to see Peter give one of the competitions a shot. Based on all magnificent renders he’s done in the past for corridor I already know he would knock it outta the park.
i didn't make it into the top 100 but I'm still really proud of my work, thanks for making this great challenge.
Clint thank you so much. I abandoned 3d art in college for reasons. When you left corridor it saddened me man, I followed your journey with only the thought of supporting you at first. After the first two challenge montages something sparked in me that forced me to download blender again. After finishing the donut (finally!) I dove straight in. I never expected to match anyones skill or experience. But I challenged myself to see it through and I just barely managed to make the deadline. Now I'm looking starting to build a demo reel to try and do this professionally down the line. Thank you for taking that leap and inspiring me!
Just watched this for a second time, amazed at so much talent. Gotta admit, a lot of the ones from the opening montage were pretty spectacular as well. I know it must have been extremely difficult to pick only a top 100. Hope to see all of them in one long video someday. Great job all.
I'm glad to see my render made it into this stream...... .... in the intro animation @ 2:35 😂😂 Congrats to everyone who took part!
Well done
Mine made it too! .. in the intro. I felt so excited when I saw it, then felt a little devastated not seeing it in the top 100, then kinda happy that it even got featured at all in some way. I guess haha. Oh well! Yeah, congrats everyone!
Ayo nice job! that was super creative what you were able to do with some simple shapes
That one was so cool! One of the most memorable for me
That is pretty cool
Can't imagine how you ever even began to pick a limited number of winners from these, these are all incredible.
Love seeing you and Peter together on these, amazing. Keep up the good work, Clint!
Seriously every single one of these were amazing and although I would have picked different winners there is no doubt that everyone put in a lot of effort
I don't often sit through a 3 hour KZhead, but daaaaaang! Well done, everyone involved! Spectacular stuff! I'm looking forward to checking out those who didn't hit the top 100, too
That ball has been through a lot - crushed, candified, eaten, torn in half and so much more lmao
press f to pay respect
So glad I got in the top 100! Thanks Clint for bringing this awesome community together and good job to everyone who submitted!
This was a fun challenge right in time when I was experimenting with improved Geometry Nodes in Blender 3.0 Alpha. I am happy that Mario jumped into the Top 100 @ 02:20:05. Thanks, Clint and Peter for your nice comments and the effort to inspire and bring together the CGI/VFX community. I am looking forward to the next challenge. Cheers from Germany!
*El professor* do I know you
@@Professor-qv1pi I don't know (you).
@@3dvfxprofessor your name and my profile pic is interrelated
Btw how did you start your blender journey, any tution for 3d animation?
@@Professor-qv1pi I started with 3d animation 1987 with my AMIGA 1000. 1991 as a career changer with Softimage 3D Creative Environment. I founded my second studio 2002 and we decided to replace Softimage with Blender in 2016. That's the start of my Blender journey. ;-)
I’m just waiting for the whole compilation. That’s gonna be so good.
Thanks for this challenge Clint! All these submissions are top notch! Good job everyone!
21:00 I think this was the best
Thank you!
Very nice
@@_LescArt_ I agree I had your render as #1 overall. Amazing!
@@tightmf thanks! :)
It's my personal favorite!
This is becoming my favourite community on KZhead/the Internet. So much incredible talent out there! Well done to all the creators and to Clint for putting these challenges together.
Yes
This is fantastic! The format you chose allowed for a lot more variation than the "guy-walking-towards-a-big-circle" format of the last one (which was also fantastic).
11:00 Here is mine :) Congratz to the winners and those who made it into the top 100. Also those who made it.
That was a cool one!
Niice! Grease pencil? :)
@@Dantti no
can't wait for all of this to be stitched up into one whole video
Great renders! Looking forward to the montage, mine didn't make the cut but still had fun! Cheers guys
Congrats to everyone who made top 100, they all look fantastic!
32 people didn't make top 100..
Honestly every single one is amazing, great job so all you guys, so creative and satisfying to watch I can watch this all day
I'm so glad for everyone who made it to the top 100 and the others who participated.Congrats to Everyone!
So bummed I missed the live but all of the top 100 picks are in-cre-di-ble. Everyone who submitted to the challenge should be proud. I love these challenges and seeing everyone’s talent.
This feels like the Olympics for 3D renders, with submissions coming from all over the world.
guys holysh*t ! congrats to everyone who made into top 100 or finished their project :D reallyyyy gooood job!
1:25:50 Peter, your name is literally Peter FRANCE of course the cheese and charcuterie one is gonna be made for you :D
Someone needs to timestamp all of these with links to creators
yep
It's gonna be in the final video!
JUST DID THIS. PLEASE FIND IT AND UPDOOT FOR VISIBILITY
Ok so linking to creators was messy but wherever I could I added their full name and/or channel name next to the time stamp. Hope this helps!!
@@riccokane my guy your a g
Can't wait to see these in proper quality!
HOLY MOLY THESE ARE SO FREAKING COOL!!!! I did not expect these to be this awesome
The octopus ship fight has to be my favorite at the moment, the way it feels like a real diorama and tells a story is unbelievable, and the quality on it is insane.
Any idea who made it? Its one of very few I cannot find
Same. Very good.
Now we wait for the full montage!!
When you do the big montage of entries, the music should use a Shepard Tone to create an endlessly descending tune! (and we’d be totally down for producing it btw :)
props to everyone who did this! they all look fantastic :)
First stream that I've watched from start to end without taking my eyes off it.
For three hours??
Same here
@@hdgrimey Yes, 3 hours in a row, like watching a long movie.
I wanted to participate so badly. Unfortunately I've been working 55+ hour weeks the last two months and had zero time past my initial concept. Cheers to the winners and every one who managed to partake. I'll be back for the next for sure. These challenges are loads of fun
Man the popcorn one was pure joy. My face just involuntarily went 😅 when all the corn burst out
you have the timestamp?
@@ArthurBizkit 27:30
Love that I have this vid to keep my KZhead hunger satisfied for a few days now. By the way you and Peter make a good team. Mucho love
I need the four hours compilation as a screensaver on my phone. I also wanted to commend both you, I've come to 'know' you guys as crazy talented people through the Corridor lens (emphasis on the talent.. and the crazy). But here I get to see a modest and professional side of you, that makes it clear why you do, what you do. It compliments your 'wilder personas'. You guys make me want to do this. Maybe I'll show up in the next challenge (probably not the top 100, though).
This was absolutely inspiring. The level of artistry and detail is just ridiculous!! Almost impossible to pick a winner. Now if we can get a tutorial on something like this for us beginners would be epic.
That is insane how there are so many talented people in the world who can generate such absolutely stunning and creative ideas.
I am a total novice, I have my love for CG, I am learning, but I must say to everyone here who participated, guys you are awesome and inspiring! Someday I would want to join as well! Too much of creativity! Thanks Peter and Clint for hosting this!
This is sick!!! Awesome skills and renders. Amazing!
I would love to have entered. I struggled getting physics to simulate the same thing repeatedly in C4D. I found it very frustrating. My really old PC didn't help much either. All of these are really excellent and congratulations to everyone who managed to finish it in time.
hope someday you get a great pc, and achieved a great skills
Holy smokes these were soo good. I couldn't imagine having to choose a winner.
This is what CGI is all about. What a Blast watching this. Much love from Algeria.
3:03:02 Peter's reaction to Clint's cough 🤣🤣🤣🤣 is he ok?
lol i think he thought it was a bit clint was doing but clint just breezed past it so peter then realized "ah a real cough ok"
Lmao i recorded it to watch it in a loop it's on my channel
17:10 winner
I like the depth in 23:00. Like all of the factory stuff in the foreground is really creative but then you notice the background and how much stuff is going on and how far back it goes
This is so fun to watch! I think I have to dust of my 3D skills and join your Discord. Gosh DARN it!
Was a great challenge and a lot of fun to make. First challenge iv ever won!
Congrats!
2d carbonara made it in :] thanks everyone
timestamp plz?
Yeeaa
No one got my cameo reference :(
@@RangaXT666 1h 40m
And that's why you don't stop believin! Gratz!
This community is awesome. So much skill. The future of VFX looks so bright... I'm talking Lumen bright.
I think my personal favorite was the one where everything just went to shit immediately and the whole machine collapsed and caught on fire. That was great. Well done everyone!
Truly congrats to all those who submitted. I started and realized it was a bit advanced for me. Never completed.
I love how the ones with the figures, like the Japanese one with the fans and umbrella, and the one with the guy in the chair in utopia, seem to feel like stop motion models. which i think looks amazing. I've been obsessed with the look since the Lego movie and the amazing youtube short *Captain Yajima* that looks like a 60s stop motion but was done in blender! if you haven't seen Captain Yajima yet and you love 3d renders, its defo for you. I love when 3d imitates other art forms
You kids are already so accomplished... Good for you.
Shinkansen wifi is killing my wibe. I thought watching the stream on train from Kanazawa to Tokyo would be perfect way to spend time, but wifi says no. Amazing renders within the first hour I’ve seen so far!
I realized how many I had already seen on KZhead. People were extremely eager to create breakdowns!
the one you guys go over at 17:09 is probably 1 of my top two favorite ones produced for this challenge if not the number 1.
I love these and I hope you never stop making new challenge videos. Wish I knew how to do some of this but I’m still trying to model a frickin doughnut
Enjoyed every second of this!
When you release the full video, there will be a lot of people who see the world moving downwards immediately after watching it.
Dude how the heck is this thing judgeable, there are sooooo many epic renders
i know right? There's so many...how can you even like....narrow it down!??!
12:23 it me yayyyy
What is the Easter egg?
@@artofasheer2836 the corridor logo... Clint didn't mention it the first time around. There are three. The logo, then there's Ness, Donkey Kong, captain falcon, and bowser, and the last one is the crew.
Awesome work bhai 👍
Did not make it to the Top 100 but made it to the Top 5 Weekly Challenge! Cgrats all and the organising team! Super job everyone!
Maybe I'm showing my age here a little bit, but the pinball sound from the 12:37 pinball machine is actually the startup sound from the pre-included Pinball game that used to be on Windows called Space Cadet. From Windows 95 to Windows XP, but removed from Vista (11 years!) a nostalgic game and sound for most. A very nice little Easter egg incase you guys didn't catch it. Shoutout to all the participants! These were all so amazing to see, Eye Candy indeed!
Oh boy. Alongside all these amazing submissions, suddenly my render pops up. Was kind of bizzare to see and now i can't stop smiling xD. Thanks for this awesome challenge! Greetings from Austria :D
Yours is easily one of my favorites.
The infinite loop of this videos would be a perfect relaxing Phone background
Waiting for epic montage video of this challenge
They are so good! This is such a good challenge
Absolutely amazing!
I favorite was the when the ball gets splitted up, then put back together
Regarding 22:30 German; Do you know what is wrong about our engineering? NOTHING! Our engineering is perfect!
I guess that's the reason why germany was so well represented in this challenge. We hear "Dynamic Machines" and...
