Visual effects designer Clinton Jones wanted to see just how talented some of the best 3D artists are. So, he decided to hold a Alternate Realities CG challenge where 2,400-entries were received. No textures were provided, just a simple animated scene of what appears to be someone lugging a heavy object. The results ranged from science fiction-inspired scenes to a bar of soap walking across a bathroom. Read more for videos of the top 100 as well as all 2400 entries.
The five best entries received prizes from major computer hardware companies, but all entrants received a nice showcase in the montages. As you can see, imagination was the only limit as to where the direction of this scene could be taken, including a father trekking with a large teddy bear on his back to otters in a Napoleonic uniform, complete with a cannon.

Over the last month, I challenged 3D artists with the Alternate Realities CG challenge. I provided an animation for everyone to work from, and the results were stunning. 2,400 artists delivered, the top 100 were chosen for this montage, and 5 of them walked away with insane prizes,” said the designer.
