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

[@Niural]

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.

[@desmondinwang599]

my exact thoughts

[@Niural]

That entire world, all of its unique rules, all of its characters, all of its history before that 5 seconds snapshot, all of them just fills your mind naturally and you can connect the dots. You don't need to put all these ideas and feelings into words. They just suddenly exist in your brain as a whole after watching for 5 seconds. You can write a whole book for each of these worlds if you really want. That is just magical.

[@GrantOberhauser]

I was going to comment the same thing! Such dense world building, it's incredible.

[@vkjaencjhewbacjenajcean]

To expand, I think that shows the viewers imagination is just as magical as the talent of the contributing artists. Absolutely love these videos!

​@AirWick694 We are ruining art already with all the restrictions on liberty and expression. AI will make cheap art possible for everyone to access. I may sound like an uncultured peasant saying this: but it is better to open it up for everyone than leave it closed off from only a privileged few.

This one was by far my favorite it conveys so much emotion, in how heavy he walks but still the battle continues around him

[@hellfrozen9971]

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

[@alejmc]

@@jerry-hj2mj and watched many more than twice! I have been out of the 3D loop since a decade+, so finding the details of these mindblowing. Crowds and all in some, incredible detail and animations from the very background all the way to the front, intricate physics sims, etc.

[@FlixterShock9]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="278">4:38</a> is so chilling. The grim reaper just casually walking up to his next victim. Especially seeing that help had arrived, but so had death.

[@mm-hl7gh]

yea this stood out to me too.. so much story in this short clip

[@ElJorro]

I thought it was serial killer

[@zerudaa]

starting from the samurai before that, it was back to back bangers. that portion of the vid was all dark in tone and im all for it.

[@danhair]

That does look a bit haunting. I see it in 2 ways: 1. It's death approaching to bring the end of suffering for the person who had a car accident. 2. we see the firefighters or ambulance arriving and the grim reaper approaching. So it's the race between life and death to see who can reach them first and death seems almost merciful because he could have hurried when he saw the ambulance but he is still walking calmly and patiently.

[@edofluit6568]

@@danhair lmfao... can you imagine the grim reaper absolutely sending it for him

[@maryastutzman5654]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="447">7:27</a> this one for some reason is one of the most realistic ones. This 3D walk is very slow and almost heavy. So when some of them are in battle and they are walking so slow it doesn’t quite look right. But this one, she is so weighed down by the weight of her child’s death that her walk matched her mood.

[@jdiezastronomy]

These projects are almost like the antithesis of AI. You still create a prompt, but the results are all human generated and so varied

[@dogelife7901]

And AI will consume those ideas so it can regurgitate them for someone else in a slightly different way.

[@joshwongwai3532]

⁠@@dogelife7901while AI might become more prevalent, take pride in knowing that most if not all its ideas that it takes and uses come FIRST from the mind of a human, for we truly are the pioneers of what’s unknown and these simple yet profound short animations is a testimony to what we truly are capable of.

[@Dog.This_Identifier_Is_Shit.]

The sad part is that I had to actually double check sometimes, because the artstyle is so similar to the ones AI uses. It must be really sad to have your work used as some sort of “food” for a computer and then get it known as “generic, AI style”.

[@sculpy2758]

It's scary how many people are willing to fully embrace a synthetic or virtual reality, or a biosynthetic SELF. As a small mercy though, thankfully everyone will be long gone before the machine gets its chance to finish killing off humanity's soul. Turns out, technology can't replace a dead nature, hard as many have been trying.

Да, но рано или поздно нейросеть научится понимать и копировать это. Нейросети буквально воспроизводят мышление человека, которое как и они основано на ранее увиденных образах и их комбинациях и логике.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="303">05:03</a> - it's sickly, fleshy, but stunning - I LOVE that something is alive in it, I love the detailing that makes this cluster look so vital <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="353">05:53</a> - so badass, the carcass of a slain centipede forms the stairs for her ascend, the broken wing implies it was a ruthless fight - I love it <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="427">07:07</a> - beyond our comprehension indeed - shapes unbound by physics

7:07 was my favourite by far. Okay, maybe not 'by far' as they are all amazing haha

[@Shreyaa_03]

They are all so beautiful! So creative and telling so many stories..ahh! I got tears 😭 ❤

Your videos are a great way to get inspired to write, draw or just be creative in general, your channel is one of the best ones on the platform.😅🎉

[@jjcworks]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="168">2:48</a> Had a blast working on this! Really happy to have made it into the top 100 and it’s such an honour to have my art displayed alongside these amazing entries. Congrats to everyone!

[@julianmarco4185]

Wow, that looks awesome. I like that the character is so defeated or tired that he doesn't even care that there is a zombie behind him. I hope he makes it though! Great work!!

[@skyflo1208]

Is he going to be OK? 😢

[@Banana_Fusion]

Your one stood out to me, I liked it a lot

I love the storytelling in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="32">0:32</a>, you can nearly hear the speech that guy is about to give to the fallen king

[@rendratvandonkereschrijver2912]

who says he going to give a speech. Also love how in transition into the warrior princess dragging her sword out of blood

[@alexharrison2743]

I didn't realise first time through that he's holding the crown in his hand, and the disdainful look he gives it is a fantastic detail!

[@mohannadbaghlaf7746]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in my life, absolutely stunning!

[@MrLightstudios]

These are just amazing, it’s like looking though a Lens into other worlds, peoples lives, they are all walking up stairs but all experiencing such different lives and situations. It’s honestly beautiful.

[@JeremyBX]

lol, the Shrek and Donkey one

[@juseschrustfush]

I laughed way too hard at donkey dancing. Perfect ending to all the beautiful and fantastic renders.

[@RAMZAVFX]

This is so inspiring. good to look at styles other than ur own once and a while, breaks patterns.

[@beatwasherdotnl]

One of my favorite things to look forward to on yourube. This one as amazing as previous ones ❤

[@vitormd1138]

I'm always hyped for these ones because they always come with a great original soundtrack. I just download the MP3 to have the songs with me lol

It’s also a way more interesting than a digital fireplace. I love it.

Hello, your work was amazing and it inspired me so much, so may I ask how did you start learning 3D model and where did your motivation/ inspiration to work in the industry come from? Thank u ^^

Congratulations brooo, it looks awesome dude!

I loved the ones combining 2D and 3D, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="122">2:02</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="213">3:33</a> and <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="427">7:07</a> (maybe <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="151">2:31</a> as well). <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="338">5:38</a> is so esoteric, fantastic. Every frame from <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="448">7:28</a> is a work of art. Man, I love all of them!

[@hoaivinh6258]

OMFG. Every challenge video is just another level, artirsts around the world are freaking talent and crazy with these beautiful arts. I am mind blowing every 5 secs and cant keep my jaw shut. Its just so immersive. lots of them give 'love, death, robot' vibes.
