I used to run the annual @xpchallenge for several years and I’m really excited to be back hosting this competition on behalf of @maxonvfx and @corridordigital.

Inspired by Corridor Crew’s Oddly Satisfying render series, I want to welcome you to join the Oddly Satisfying Render Challenge and create mesmerizing, aesthetically pleasing renders using Cinema 4D, Redshift, and other Maxon One tools.

I’ve got a panel of judges to help me select the winners.

Thanks to:
@sirwrender @eyedesyn @chrisschmidt3d @jonathanwinbush @nubikini @imnidiadias @wannerstedt

With prizes from:
@maxonvfx @schoolofmotion @dell

Maxon have also extended their trial to cover the whole challenge! Just register for the challenge to get the extension.

Keep a look out for the official channel over on @framerate.tv too!

You’ve got until 25th May 2026 to enter. Full details on oddlysatisfyingchallenge.com

Any questions, shoot me a DM.

PEACE – IN SITU

I always saw the two hero images that represent PEACE & TURMOIL as prints that could be hung on a wall, taking the digital and turning it into something physical.

🤩 We've teamed up with @theCorridorCrew and @i'mcalledandy for the #OddlySatisfyingChallenge! Time to put your creativity on display.

🎯 Get your 30-Day FREE #MaxonOne trial and dive into #Cinema4D & #Redshift.

Just for fun I’m taking a big influence from @wes_cream with these frames. I’ve always admired Wes’ style and command of material creation. He’s one of the best in the business.
