We Compete to Make the Most Cozy Satisfying Christmas Render

[@legoshi6531]

I absolutely love the thought of Santa holding his elf's at gunpoint in order to bring joy and happiness to the world

[@humanoid251]

I play a game called Killing Floor and one of the funniest maps is Evil Santa’s Lair because as you go through the map you find stuff like zombified elves frozen in the walls or skewered by candy canes and my favorite is banners around the map that say “a lazy elf is a dead elf”

[@galacticnerds5276]

[@dboii54]

[@BioshadowX]

Love Fenner's! Feels like a 90s point and click/adventure game aesthetic and nothing is more cozy than nostalgia

[@carlsoll]

Jacks Attic :P

[@DucatiKozak]

We need a full tutorial on how Fenner did this with Stable Diffusion & Blender.

[@FlorianSchauer]

Stable Diffusion for the win :)

[@mohammadmanhar8839]

Exactly! I thought it's a competition for the most cozy render, not a badass killing last day to live santa game, I wish Fenner won.

[@IgorEngelen1974]

Indeed, the pure cozy score is the best in this one.

[@TokyoSpeirs]

I love how real the crashing computers is. People don’t realize now often this happens and how it’s literally part of the schedule budget for VFX teams.

[@Aracore]

Yup, you learn the "Click save every other action" routine EARLY :D

[@nisanavraham591]

Fennel and Peter are just on another level and Sam just making a full on game is insane

[@anttech5705]

no thats not insane. i am a game developer. thats basic game controller available in many packages in unreal engine. u just have to replace the character with santa. he did great but game thing is a simple to do

[@VIRTUEL]

as a fellow completely unbiased canadian, fenner's work was SO DAMN COZY it has to be my favorite. that subtle toon shading look with the warm purple bloom makes this whole scene feel so rich and fuzzy. but honestly GOOD JOB YALL i think this is the first render challenge where im legitimately blown away by every single one of those renders.

[@MandatoryFruit]

Yes, no bias from me whatsoever

[@Periwinkleaccount]

Nor from me.

[@alexei1195]

I think Canadians are drawn to choosing this one.

[@zeebzapxd]

I love the banter and fun between Fenner, Peter and Jordan. These additions to the OG crew have been nothing short of amazing!

[@chloeellis1246]

Yes! One of my favourite kinds of crew videos! Happy Christmas folks!

[@ghosteclipz7007]

So true. They really showcase their skills, so thanks guys

[@GrahamMurphy525]

I love the render challenge videos!

[@Battleray]

Meet Christmas

[@Saimeren]

I've gotta say, I love the current crew. Jordan, Matt, Fenner, Peter. They're all amazing. Ps. I still want more "Cooking with Christian".

[@SleepyBear-66]

oh hello there.

[@i_am_ergo]

Let me just say that I absolutely *LOVE* that young blood as well as non-animator crew members have been getting more and more screen time. Christian, Fenner, Peter, Jordan and Jordan are awesome!

[@erickh555]

Jordan's was by FAR the best one and most impresive art wise and technically. Also loved the animation! I will be using that one for sure

[@patricklalhmachhuana8197]

Also love how sam keeps trying things in a game mode cause it really is interesting to see them doing something of a game creation

[@terragthegreat175]

It is a little bit frustrating though bc I wouldn't call Sam's render 'cozy'. Fun and creative, sure, but the challenge was to make something that felt 'cozy'

[@dinohorseaborus]

It's amazing to see just how much REAL talent and skill these guys have! Also, Fenner is an absolute ASSET to the corridor team, it's nice to see him fit in so quickly

[@pontusoskarsson7322]

Really loved Jordans render. Perfect loop, fun concept, really well directed. Variable framerate is really nice!

[@BenleGentil]

I’m blown away by the quality, both art direction & production, you all were able to achieve in such a short amount of time.

[@HeyyItsDaleVODS]

Fenner's render blew me away. I would have that playing nonstop for the holidays.

[@johnmck05]

There is no greater Christmas gift than another satisfying render challenge video!!

[@Veckler]

Personally I'm waiting for the annual Smash tournament.

[@gpaderx6105]

Fenner's is my favorite! I expected it to be cliche lo-fi vibes like what you see on KZbin, but it's very beyond that! I can't explain, but it gives me a very heartwarming feels

[@AllExistence]

Peter never disappoints! And Fenner truly shines in this one.

[@markthefilmmaker2613]

THE 10 HOUR LOOPS! I literally love u guys. Merry Christmas hope you all enjoy the holidays

[@Cyranek]

big cozy vibes

[@parkerrogstad3103]

Can you guys make ads for cologne and other fragrance stuff like you did the bowling alley videos? I feel like y’all could make the randomness and unpredictability of what I see in those ads perfectly!

[@darthvulture]

such great renders and i love they were all made so differently, just shows their versatility

[@covertcreator1174]

Best holiday special ever! All these renders came out looking amazing! Merry Christmas, Corridor!

[@con0003]

This video felt like the best of Corridor Crew, thoroughly enjoyed every part. The banter was just amazing vibes. The editing was stellar. Crazy good video.

[@KeeganEvansPhoto]

Guys these were insanely good 🤯

[@yermiyagi1940]

[@wealthiness]

I was looking at how well done the guineapigs were, I didn't even realize the fire!

[@SoggyMicrowaveNugget]

I love to see multiple of the Crew using Blender. Warms my heart like a Fireplace

[@ericknoleto]

Fenner's right in the soft spot... Really bring memories... Seems like something felt in my eye...

[@TheJ1156]

Making these renders in that short of a time is actually insane, just goes to show the skills of the entire crew.

[@ujjawalparajuli2710]

Loved fenner's render, it was so cozy I just kept staring at it and fell asleep.

[@Ragzzy-R]

Everytime one of this challenges comes, Sam makes a video game. Man is a fountain of creativity. I'd love for him to direct a story driven, tell-tall like video game

[@Taizuren]

brooooo Fenner just absolutely killed it with his comp

[@Krikitt]

This one had me smiling throughout the whole episode. Merry Christmas.

[@Roxanne-zq2xb]

I loved all of these! The claymation miniature feel of one, the warm fuzzy animals in another, the fire glow from the house that has a mysterious, almost ominous undertone, the muffled hockey game going on in the background! I want to live in these renders. Just curl up and go to sleep.

[@Asburyz]

Sam gave Santa Sparrow's moveset, what a legend. A true PARAGON of renders.

[@NolandFilms]

Dang, Peters looked legitimately real. The way the cloth is simulated really added to the whole aesthetic and stole the show, I wasn't even paying attention to the chimney fire escaping. We need a 10 minute version of this. Maybe longer lmao.

[@SuperFlik]

10:44 Ah geez, Corridor showing us footage from the future? What kind of magic is this?!

[@danzmachinz2269]

fenner won christmas - would love a full scene using his technique

[@benstanfill363]

God Peters MELTED my heart holy crap that was cute and cozy. This man's range.

[@Derpduck.]

Yess all of them were so good

[@Icelandlover]

Love this video because of the chemistry we feel between them. The sponsored segment was really great. He convinced me to get a pair!

[@SleepyBear-66]

Vessi's are literally the most versatile shoe I own.

[@vekst]

Seeing Fenner use Stable Diffusion while I have it running in the background was pretty cool. Loved what everyone did!

[@acirillo59]

Why was I not disappointed by a single person’s render? So nice

[@barney674]

The game playing with low volume in fenners is such a good touch!

[@tuwkkake_]

HEY as a finnish person i am obligated to tell you, santa does NOT live at north pole xd he lives in finland at korvatunturi (ear mountain) which is on arctic circle.

[@tigrezangel]

Peter's render is definitely my winner, and then Fenner. I'll be having both on the paylist so, thanks guys

[@AadidevSooknananNXS]

Best rendition of Santa I've seen yet!

[@thepirateguy580]

Merry Christmas

[@TLabsLLC-AI-Development]

After so many thousands of blender hours I always feel dumb when I need to Google to remember a keyword or specific process. Thanks for the reminder it happens to us all. I hope to work with you guys one day!

[@suri4Musiq]

The mastery behind your videos, amazing! The idea behind using stable diffusion to project out textures back into the scene, brilliant!

[@wylanvallotton4462]

I personally like the one where Santa gets teleported to Mars and has to deliver presents to the alien children, but struggles to understand what they want. It was thought provoking, wholesome and very well rendered. Kudos to the person who made it.

[@venkate5hgunda]

Fenner & Peter’s just had that chef’s kiss!! 🤌🏻

[@HyperChamp]

You can't imagine my EXCITEMENT when I saw this in my subscriptions! Thanks for the great content guys!

[@polycatmagic1236]

Those were all great! I love how each of them was stylistically different yet all achieved the cozy feel of Christmas.

[@kuba-uta]

Santa wears vessi ? I'm sold!

[@jucks]

Those were actually amazing, everyone nailed it. I loved Fenner's one, but I kinda wanna see it without the camera shake as well.

[@DuWi]

Would love a closer look at Fenner's stable diffusion texture workflow. Looks amazing!

[@L33Reacts]

This is my kids first Christmas being aware of what Christmas is... I'm gonna show her this and see what she thinks 🙂

[@lukeg3714]

I love how everyone does amazing but sams always like “oh that render? That was just a side quest” 😂

It's pretty incredible just how entertaining you guys make a bunch of nerds sitting at a computer for 3 hours. Corridor Crew is literally sitting at the peak of YT content creation.

[@Cardiopazia]

Each one was truly special on its own, this is probably one of the best challenges you guys ever done.

[@iSirath12]

my fav was the first one, felt more cosey and christmasy.

[@TylerCheeseman]

retelling the age old tale of santa trudging through murder valley is my favourite christmas pastime 💞

Merry Christmas Corridor Crew... You are amazing !

[@amelieflorin113]

They should combine aspects/all of the renders at the end, would be cool to see what things would be used again and how it all can be elevated.

[@Berpiano]

Render challenges are always a great content from you guys and this one made me - what's the word - satisfied? ;) Merry Christmas to all of you at Corridor!

[@jamesmarker3956]

I think Sam’s was good, but Fenner’s was definitely my favorite. Everything about it is just so cozy.

[@13374me]

I love that you did the Canucks and Leafs on TV and not Leafs and Habs, that would not be as friendly an atmosphere unless everyone was cheering for the same team lol. Side note it 100% reminds me of one of my extended families gatherings, it's always on the 26th, so we almost always have the IIHF Juniors on in the background after presents etc.

[@listinglazily]

Honestly, I wasn't sure about a few of the concepts. I shouldn't have doubted, they were all kickass!

[@soranuareane]

I live about 30 minutes away from North Pole, Alaska. I've been to Santa's Workshop a few times; it's a nice place. THEY HAVE A FUDGE COUNTER. THE FUDGE IS INCREDIBLE. GET SOME FUDGE. My best memory: walking up to Santa with my girlfriend and asking, "could _you_ sit in _my_ lap?" "Certainly!" I had Santa and my girlfriend on my knees. It was incredible.

[@jenniferhallam9063]

Yes, love it! 🎅🌲

[@dflosounds]

Jordan's software crashes: "Ah gosh dangit" Sam's software crashes: "Oh no you don't you f**king s**t a*** bi***!"

[@reidearnshaw9016]

Can we just appreciate Sam making a functional game of that quality is highly impressive? Imagine a Corridor DnD playable videogame!

[@mattytwoshoes]

Thanks so much for making these, there are incredible! I used Jordan's as a background on my livestream yesterday and people loved it 🙌

[@Aracore]

I want more details on how he used Stable Diffusion to generate his textures. That was pretty groundbreaking IMO

Thank you for sharing the loops of these renders. Everyone killed it on this challenge.

[@timsullivan4566]

Couldn't pick just one. Render-bender! Thanks guys. (Almost forgot - TIL about Murder Valley.)

[@tmcleanful]

My favourite thing about Christmas time is how it reminds us that the Creator of this Universe has made his Kingdom in Heaven available to us on Earth, and that all we need to do is work together in fellowship to actually walk through the entrance way.

[@robinlinh]

Sam always brings the suddent FPS/TPS experience into the challenge and I love it.
