Hello Dynamites!
Welcome to the second installment of our Dynamo Forum Challenge series!
02- DynaArt Challenge: Create a Landmark for Your Favorite City!
This time, we are inviting you to unleash your creativity and design a piece of public art for your favorite city using Dynamo. Whether it’s an iconic sculpture, interactive installation, or innovative urban furniture, we want to see how you can use Dynamo to transform public spaces into vibrant works of art.
This challenge will run for 5 weeks, starting on Monday Jan 27th, running until Monday March 3rd at 5pm EST.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
- Dynamo must be used in all, or part of your submission.
- If you use a Dynamo graph, your .DYN file must be attached to your submission.
- If you use a Custom Package or Node in your submission, it must be hosted on Package Manager. Note: This may mean uploading a package!
- This topic will be left open for discussion - use to your hearts content! Upon deadline of challenge, moderators will edit the post to introduce a community poll to select winners.
- We very much encourage wrong answers! Just have fun with it!
SUBMISSION OF ENTRY:
All submissions must be submitted blind via Direct Message to @solamour, @achintya_bhat , @emrullah.yildiz , @john_pierson and @jacob.small with the Challenge as your title using this link to start a handy message template. Please include all relevant files to execute the graph and reproduce your result as well as a still image(s).
PRIZES:
1st Place = “Dynamo Challenge Winner” forum badge
2nd Place = “Dynamo Challenge Runner-up” forum badge
The winners will be selected based on community voting. Some suggested ways to impress
- Show us your unique vision and innovative approach to public art. Think outside the box and create something that stands out.
- Demonstrate your skill with Dynamo by using a variety of nodes and techniques to achieve your design. The more creative use of Dynamo and well-executed, the better.
- Consider the location for your public art. How does your design enhance the chosen city? Does it reflect the culture, history, or environment?
- While creativity is key, also think about the practicality of your design. Could it realistically be constructed and installed in a public space and maybe also usable?
As always, we encourage you to be creative and think outside the box! Just have fun with it!
