Top 100 3D Rube Goldberg Montage! | Dynamic Machines

I teamed up with PNY and NVIDIA to host my third big #3D render #challenge. For #DynamicMachines, I challenged 3D artists to guide a chrome ball from point A to point B in the most creative way possible. Nearly 2,000 artists entered, and in this video the Top 100 renders are featured from an incredible community of 3D artists! Thanks to everyone who worked hard to submit and congratulations to the winners!

Did anyone else feel like all text they read directly after watching this was slowly moving down? Amazing work everyone, I was in awe the whole 13 minutes!

[ThatMumboJumbo]

This is about as satisfying as it gets. Amazing work by everyone involved.

[DoodleChaos]

I definitely will be coming back to this video when in need of some artistic inspiration. Congrats to all the artists on the amazing work! Hope to see more challenges like this in the future.

[Cyranek]

don't think I saw a single one that was less than amazing

3:54 Yasutaka Fukuda's use of the space that was given to them is freaking brilliant. They didn't make a complicated and intricate contraption like others, but they literally just thought outside of the box that was given to them and it caught me by surprise. It almost felt like watching an actual 3D movie after all of these sequences where the marble actually stays within its walls.

Each frame is art and I hope everyone is proud of this!

[BrimstoneBeard]

Anyone else's screen feel like it's slowly sliding down after watching that all the way through. Amazing work all of it!

7:24 Made me laugh. The way the whole intricate thing just doesn't work at all and falls apart completely

This series always highlights the most creative people on the internet! Clint, please continue this forever

[Kriscoart]

The amount of creativity packed in one video is insane. Shows the true power of collaboration

[ManDark_o]

Every piece is so unique and amazing. My personal favorite is Yasutaka Fukuda's render @3:54 it's so dope I can't get over it.

[Klay-Vis]

YES! Man watching these on a vertical monitor setup is wild as well!
Congrats everyone! 🎉

What sticks out to me is that all the other renders were confined within a box. In this render, the camera FOV was part of a larger scene and the artist wasn't afraid of letting the ball go out of the frame for a bit. Really creative. Plus the idk what to call it but the the parallax effect was so cool with the zipline coming out of the screen as well.
11:32
A nice break from all the complex intensive rude goldberg machine type stuff. Really refreshing.

"Chrome ball being tortured for 13 minutes straight"
That was an amazing challenge, so many good renders!

Sometimes when Corridor members leave the crew, I get worried about their continued success with their personal professional endeavors. Clint is doing so insanely well. Amazing to see

[davidlong]

Loved the Nico Zevallos one at 1:25 - It's completely different than the typical marble chase/kinetics approach.

[Kanimation]

10:01 heyyy that's mine :D

Thank you everyone for taking part in such a great project! 💙

[GiraffreyG]

Just to satiate my own curiosity: the ball was replaced 13 times; Clint caught the 14th.

[SyzygyNoon]

I love that the Corridor guys (at 8:23) recreated their upstairs workspace. <3

If you watch the whole thing in one go (or for a few minutes at a time), you'll get a nice optical illusion where your vision will continue trying to follow the downward crawl and compensating for the motion!
