Hello Dynamites!
This Challenge is now over! 
A huge thanks to all those who participated! We understand this one was more challenging as DaaS in Forma is new to a lot of you. We hope everyone who tried and participated learnt something and had some fun playing with it and is excited for what’s to come in the future. 
Now, its polling time! 
We have lesser number of entries this time, but each one is packaged with some much creativity! Come shower some love to all the creations from the fellow community members. We can’t wait to see who the community votes in as winner and runner-up! 
We will keep the poll open for the one week and announce our winners on May 23rd! 
All graphs are present in this thread, so that you can inspect each DYN file to help you choose your favorite!
You can vote based on creativity, wow factor, innovative use of DaaS in their workflow, or complexity of the problem solved.
As a reminder, we gave the below suggestions for workflows:
- Create the most practical and impactful use case for DaaS and Forma.
- Build the most complex Facade you can that still plays nicely with Forma Analysis tools
- Unleash your creativity by developing an unconventional workflow with DaaS and Forma.
- Let your imagination run wild and design the wackiest twisty tower using DaaS in Forma.
Each member can vote for their top 1 favorite entry only.
- Entry 1: Moving Facade with Forma
- Entry 2: Autodesk Tower in San Francisco
- Entry 3: Generative Chaos
See all the submissions in all their full glory below to vote. All submissions are anonymized to avoid bias and pick a true objective winner 
Entry 1: Moving Facade with Forma
With this code you can get moved facades. The density on the facade can be adjusted.

Entry 2: Autodesk Tower in San Francisco
Title: Autodesk Tower in San Francisco
Description: Autodesk Tower is a conceptual sample project located in San Francisco , near Autodesk’s current headquarters. The design is a simplified massing inspired by the Autodesk logo , developed using Revit and Dynamo , with the geometry exported to Autodesk Forma via Dynamo for further environmental and spatial analysis.
This simple model is especially valuable for educational purposes, offering a hands-on way to explore essential design workflows and early-stage simulations such as Sun Hours , Microclimate , and particularly plan generation and Area Metrics .
From the first floor upward, the plans remain consistent, echoing the logo’s form. As the tower rises, it gradually bends at the top, allowing the logo to emerge on the façade, turning the structure into a bold, symbolic architectural statement. Autodesk Forma accurately generates the unique upper-level plans based on this geometric transformation.

Entry 3: Generative Chaos
Title: - Generative Choas
Description: - This project explores creating choas out of simplicity. Show what effects can be created when simple geometry is subjected to repeated transformations. This tower is generated by only 4 circles. These circles are manipulated, then lofted to create a main building surface. The surface is then split at each level, creating a module at each building level. These levels, and host floor slabs, are manipulated again in various ways. The units and slabs can be rotated either gradually, or randomly. Leading to endless configurations.
Note: There is an input list and quick description in PDF.

Hello Dynamites,
We are thrilled to bring back the Dynamo Challenge series and super excited about our next challenge in this series. 
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. 
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.
- Dynamo for Forma- Getting Started
- Dynamo for Forma - Exploring the Forma package and Sending to Forma
- Dynamo for Forma - Sun Hours Analysis using Dynamo for Forma
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 May 14th at 5pm EST.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
- Dynamo must be used in or part of your submission.
- If you use a Dynamo graph, your .DYN file must be attached to your submission.
- This topic will be left open for discussion - use to your heart’s 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:
- Create the most practical and impactful use case for DaaS and Forma.
- Build the most complex Facade you can that still plays nicely with Forma Analysis tools
- Unleash your creativity by developing an unconventional workflow with DaaS and Forma.
- Let your imagination run wild and design the wackiest twisty tower using DaaS in Forma.
As always, we encourage you to be creative and think outside the box! Just have fun with it!
A heads-up on upcoming two challenges:
- 04- Dynamo Conductor: Orchestrating Data and Geometry with Dynamo (Tentatively May)
- 05- Dynamo Rocket Challenge: Design a spaceship using Dynamo (Tentatively June)
We are super excited to see what all of you come up with this time!
