Clinton and PNY are teaming up again to push the 3D art community with a new community render challenge. The end result will be the culmination of everyone’s combined renders, forming the internet’s largest dynamic machine.

About Clinton Jones

Clinton Jones is a director, 3D/VFX artist and photographer. Over the last three years he has been focusing on the creation of photoreal 3D renderings in order to expand his story-telling ability, and has recently dedicated his full efforts to growing his YouTube channel, and creating high quality art with his community of talented young artists. His 3D journey began with a simple thought: "If I can think it, I can create it.

Returning after 2020’s Parallel Dimensions and Expanding Dimensions contests, Clint is beyond excited to throw another challenge your way.

What is Dynamic Machines?

Since Clinton was three, he felt the need to create. It started with drawing, and quickly led to building LEGO® sets with his dad. One thing led to another, and he found himself (as a grown adult) building a complicated series of tubes, tracks and toppling pillars just to turn off the lights. He later found out people dedicate their lives to building these contraptions called, Rube Goldberg Machines.

…And so the idea behind Dynamic Machines was born.

Dynamic Machines is a community-based 3D art contest where Clinton's challenging you to build a computer generated Rube Goldberg machine. The goal is to guide a chrome ball from the starting platform, all the way to the finish line, any way you can imagine, with any 3D program you want. In the end, everyone’s dynamic machine will be combined to form the internet’s largest 3D Rube Goldberg contraption.

Three of you will be chosen to take home prizes that are guaranteed to push your creative ability even further.

Deadline: August 1, 2021 11PM PST
