Hello Dynamites,

We are thrilled to bring back the Dynamo Challenge series and super excited about our next challenge in this series. :star_struck: :trophy:

03- Make Anything with Dynamo as a Service (DaaS) in Forma! This exciting challenge invites you to tap into your creativity and technical skills to explore the endless possibilities of using Dynamo as a service in Forma . You can bring Dynamo geometry as native Forma elements to leverage the variety of analysis tools in Forma. Or think outside the box and surprise us - find an innovative way to use Dynamo Player Beta on the cloud. This is your chance to showcase your expertise and push the boundaries of what’s possible with DaaS. :cloud: :high_voltage:

Check out this blog post to learn how to start using DaaS in Forma Beta. Since it’s in Beta, things are still being tweaked and improved, so you might notice some changes along the way.

Check out this series of introduction videos to get started and help inspire you.

You’ll also find sample scripts in the Forma Extension.

In case you don’t already know Forma is included in the AEC Collection. If you do not have the collection, get your free Forma trial here. This challenge will run for 4 weeks, starting on Wednesday April 2nd, at 9am EST, running until Wednesday April 30th at 5pm EST.
