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.

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.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
