1:59 I'm blown away by, thought the microscope was really creative

It's so crazy seeing how creative people can be with just the default cube.

0:41 my render! Can't believe i made it to top 5, this was so fun, thanks for hosting this!

1:59 I honestly have 0 clue how this one didn't win... amazing work

Honored to be in Top 100! Mines here 9:12. First personal project I've done in a while because I have been stuck in a creative rut. So thank Bad Normals for putting this all together.

2:03 is mine!! This was my first render challenge. hoping to join more of this in the future. Definitely learn a lot from this project.

My favorites: 01:09, 03:16, 08:46. I also thought 06:07 was a super clever use of the prompt.

5:17 is ridiculously well done. Mind-blown.

8:06 I love it. All of them are so creative and beautiful!

Wow I can't believe mine almost got into top 10, thanks for such a wonderful render challenge! I absolutely loved the fact that you guys were picking the winners during the livestream and that you really listened to people in the chat 💙 My submission is the space one at 5:32 if you want to see it

8:46 Revive - Anna is definitely my favorite. The style and the world and the implied story is so good and so impressive for a 5 sec clip.

They are amazeing, but the fact that the rubik´s cube at 2:45 does have two white centers is killing me

9:27 is my favorite. The mix of 2D and 3D is so well done!

0:16, This is mine! :D Although actually, I forgot to update the name from 3D-Man to CG-Man on Google Drive zip file's name before, but it doesn't matter. :)

Found mine at 4:32 :) Also, great choice of music for this compilation!

7:11 Rest in piece, techno.

found mine at 2:30 , this was my first render challenge , didn't have time to finish it but definitely enjoyed the process will join more.

I will post all the 550+ submissions soon!

2:04 the donut rolling past is so good

My favorites were 0:31 and 7:01, and I can't quite explain why. Everybody did such an amazing job!

Love the creativity! These are neat to see

Honoured to have made it into the top 100! Mines at 8:35 Can’t wait for the next challenge!

Although my work didn't make it to this Top 100, I was still glad to participate & I congratulate winners of this challenge. From this collection I like the most 06:44 (Mattew Revee). Snowy mountains match so beautifully with red cube. Looks bewitching.

6:17 I like to see it 8:45 That little insert of hope is everything

Top 50 at 3:30. Thank you so much for this opportunity, you no idea idea how much I was smiling to see my favorite 3D artist viewing my work. Really happy I submitted to my first 3D rendering challenge, and I'll certainly catch you in the next one! Some day I'll be on the same panel as you guys :)

My animation didn't make it to Top 100 but no regrets at all. I had lots of fun making it and will participate in the next challenge too. Also, congrats to winners and everyone else that was part of this. Great animations!

I’m a sucker for those “dystopian future” settings, and seeing so many of these “100 best of x” having so many of that kind, makes me happy

4:45 Dude, that Goldartfrog guy gave me shivers! I’m actually quaking and trembling in my boots. The cube turned red, and it even wiggled!

3:21 its my render!

nice file name at 9:52

8:15 has so much detail oh my

3:16 Crab 🦀

1:16 from Andre Chuang is from Adventure Time, when Finn and Jake got beamed up to Prismo. You can also see the three blue Spacelards flying

I really love these render challenge things because of how imaginative they are. It's like getting a glimpse of thousands of alternate worlds, every one is so detailed and I'm always wanting to see more.

0:41 as a fan of rubik’s cubes/puzzles i think this one is cool

new name for the video: 100 reasons to say 'insane'

4:02 TAMIL 😍💪 Impressive Emmanuel Morais👏👏👏

My favorite part of this is the effort that was put into the transitions to match the theme of each world

"He is not the hero we needed but the one we deserve" r.i.p to the 641,872,925 default cubes that have been deleted

4:27 here's mine haha feels good seeing my lil render amongst these wonderful creations, ngl I am glad this contest happened, I think Maybe if I had more time for mine rather than just 5 days it would turn out more better, but nonetheless thanks.

2:43 there are 2 white center pieces!!! >:O

“Before time began, there was the cube” - Optimus Prime

1:15 idk why but this IS adventure time. i know ive been watching that thing from start to end, thank you for allowing me to relive these amazing moments for a few seconds, Andre Chuang.

5:06 Thats me!

6:24 is my favorite.

9:52 has the best title hands down

Love seeing so many different styles in such a short time. Well done everyone! Thanks for putting this together!!!

So many designs amazed me with their creativity, but 7:36 in particular caught me off-guard with its beautiful simplicity.

Awesome to see my render first in the video:D The crab at 3:16 is my favorite. Everything about it is great, the style matching between objects, the animation, the rock is WET

6:33 YAY mine made it!

10:03 insane work

These are some amazing entries!Great job and my compliments to all competitors! And also props to you Bad Normals for creating such a succesful Blender competition!

I love the idea that these renders are reflective of personality types, or a way of expressing what a person is going through. For example, maybe the bird in the cage was reflective of the person feeling trapped or controlled, the rubix cube was somebody who likes to think logically, the ice cubes on the beach was someone who really needed a vacation, etc.

Watching these renders makes me so calm and also feel nostalgic

Everyone did such a wonderful job I am blown away by how many ways this can be done. My favorites include: 2:54 3:15 6:28 and my absolute favorite is 7:01 The little cardboard people were so cute.

My favorites have got to be 6:05 and 9:56. 6:05 is a super cool idea with a great tone. 9:56 is just done sooo damn perfectly.

"It just a Cube, what so special about it?" Spongebob: it's all about IMAGINATION🙌

I made it to the top 100 :) 9:27

I just love these types of videos! Each individual render has its own unique story and personality, it’s amazing how talented some people really are!

6:40 that lightning cube is my favourite one, beautifull

Its so good to see the default cube get the respect it deserves❤

a few of these are on a completely different level from the rest.

Idk why, but watching these makes me feel sad and nostalgic, like there are so many worlds in the universe, all of them vastly different, but we’re just one of them. We haven’t even fully explored our own world and there’s so much that we don’t fully know. So many guesses and theories, all of which have the possibility of being true. It’s like feeling alone even when there are so many people aren’t you.

Imagine the things we could do if everyone came together

7:11 thanks, really thanks, i was crying to see this animation, thanks for who make this, i'm so happy

1:58 aurora is by far the best.

These relax me sooo much, and thanks you to all you wonderful artist for coming up with such Masterpieces.

I can't even explain how, but this video manages to move me: maybe it's the music, the beauty of these renders, the stories I imagine behind each one of them, the understanding of how much time these people have dedicated to creating these wonders, or a combination of all these factors, but watching these beautiful masterpieces truly moves me and now the only thing I want to do is to hop on my chair and start working on somthing new.

I appreciate those compilations. None is better and none is worse, every single one is different, unique, evoking different emotions. So many emotions in such a small space.

Hey man, thank you so much for making this great render challenge! 🙏🤩❤️

3:52 ok seriously that must be real life

I can't believe the number of submitions, that must've been an enduring task going through all those. Well done on the live event.

This is so inspiring to see how creative people can be with just the default cube, maybe I should try out some challenges, I get so overwhelmed when I start a project with the infinite options

9:32 isso é extremamente criativo, parece algum tipo de prisão além do tempo e da física, como se fosse uma mistura do filme Soul com Hipercubo

Bro. Thank you for making this. This is super awesome🔥🔥. I hope that you make another one

There are a LOT of great ideas in this one. Huge respect to all the participants.

It was great to participate to this ! The variety of the proposals is very interesting :)

1:14 Prismo, my boy... 😔

oh my god the blender community is such a creative one. these arts are insane

These renders are insane, there was huge opportunity for Kevin the Cube! However my favourite by far is the portal 2 one, very cool

Never thought a cube would have so many faces to it

0:41 Rubik's Cube algorithms: (M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2) (R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2) Two U-Perms - the good one and the one for bigger cubes. (For those who don't know the CFOP method: Those algorithms swap three edge pieces on the top layer)

0:32 almost reminded me of the game 'Journey' ✨

3:57 Star Trek reference, had to point it out. The borge, hehe

MINDBLOWING. So many stories in like 3 seconds of screentime. amazing

imagine this just a single cube I can't stop watching this is so beautiful

Nice! Mine's at 1:09

These are gorgeous. Such a deceptively simple prompt, and such wondrous ideas that came out of it

Blender has such an amazing community of creative and super talented people. It changed the whole 3D artists community in such a healthy way. Always happy to see 3D Artists working together on so small yet big things. Thank you for this video.

I like to think that all of these cubes are the same cube over trillions of years, and the cube some ever growing threat, just looking for a way to absorb life energy in some way to last along the eras. It can hide itself, and in many of them, you can see people trying to finally destroy it, or others where it is contained, but not for long, and finally in others, where it was able to control humanity for a while.

this is sooo awesome! xD

Super great job guys ! Very inspiring ! Love the soundtrack as well !

Theses are all so good congratulations to all of the top 100

Extremely calming and comforting, gained new insights from every new concept. ✨ Now im seeking out similar videos to watch

Blender is more than just software - it’s a global phenomenon never before seen in history.

After watching tiktok stuff. Doom-scrolling etc It is refreshing to see how people are still so creative and still have this beautiful spark in them. Thanks for reminding me of that.

The thing that starts a 3d animation, a game design, and household object.... THE CUBE.

The Default Cube has evolved

Imagine each one of these artists come together and make something incredible ❤️

Super cool idea and the artists stepping forward from this will be good ones.
