Top 100 3D Artist Montage | Eternal Ascent

In February of 2024 I challenged 3D artists to create a unique piece of art based around a simple provided template co-created by @shapiro500. In 1 month, I received 2,800 entries, from 104 countries, totaling 21.5 years of communal work. For this montage, I curated my top 100 renders, accompanied by original music from @Feverkin

It's just mindblowing to be able to imagine entire backstory of a world and how it operates just by watching 5 seconds of it.

[hellfrozen]

This was so interesting, seeing all these artists with different visions is just mindblowing

[VanderXanderbilt]

1:07 I like how everybody made cool fantasy worlds or mindblowing landscapes while bro just made somebody's office.

[albertomontesinos]

These artists are getting better and better quick

[FlixterShock]

4:38 is so chilling. The grim reaper just casually walking up to his next victim. Especially seeing that help had arrived, but so had death.

[Rice]

2:28 and the transition of night pulling back the curtain for day was so artful

[blackfrostdigital]

2:38 So proud to see my beetle foragers harvesting suboptimally in the top 100. Come on, 3 out of 6 berries is barely a passing grade.

3:32 So happy to have been part of it! Thank you absolutely everyone! It makes all the hard work so worth it!

4:57 This one is so unique, I don't think I've seen a concept like this ever

[secretscarlet]

I love the simplicity of a grandma watering her plants at 4:12

[ZeusCreates]

8:17 Glad to have made it in again this time!
It's such an incredible feeling everytime seeing all these artists from over the world come together to create something special! Gets me everytime :')

[moonhead]

The Monk one at 0:13 gives me the ethereal and peaceful vibe. It deserves a win for sure.

I'm so glad that my render made it into the Top 100 montage :)
my concept of the Roman dodecahedron emerged from the mystery surrounding its actual usage.
Continuously refining my ideas, conclusively, I aimed to portray it as a power of creative inspiration that aiding us in overcoming obstacles and continuing ascent metaphorically, and I expressed it through Hellenistic Geometry.
I enjoyed refining my ideas during the challenge and look forward to another enjoyable experience next time.
Congratulations to all participating artists!

Having everyone remix a simple prompt in their own way is such an elegant way to see how people’s imaginations are so unique.

[MrSnufullahfahgess]

7:07 Love the style and animation. All of these are pure gold.

[PedroScherz]

4:53 Awesome to have worked on this! Thank you all for making this community so inspiring!

[aadilanwar]

7:07 is phenomenal.... the impact frames *chefs kiss* 👏

[lyssatiny]

Holy shit that one at 4:58 is incredible. Really mindblowing how people can take these prompts and make them their own

[FabLens]

Honoured to be part of this! 1:48
Amazing to see the hard work of so many artists working together with such different and unique ideas and concepts.
Congratulations to everyone
