    DRÆM SEQUENCE Community Challenge by PWNISHER

    Announcing the Spring 2026 Community Challenge: DRÆM SEQUENCE Powered by PWNISHER aka Clinton Jones and open to the entire TouchDesigner community. 

    What’s the theme?

    DRÆM SEQUENCE asks you to bring rhythm and tempo to life in 3D. You’ll receive a beat-synced template (complete with BPM markers) and have four weeks to turn that pulse into visuals, anything from generative abstractions to full-blown cinematic worlds. Feeling adventurous? Skip the template and build your own audio-reactive system from scratch in TD.

    Starter Kit

    • You get a single, provided audio track with a fixed BPM plus a beat-synced starter template.

    For the first time, a dedicated TouchDesigner template ships alongside the usual Blender / C4D files, so TD users can dive in instantly, or tear it apart and rebuild.

    Why join?

    • A global, all-skill-levels playground—students, pros, hobbyists welcome
    • Massive exposure: finished entries roll into a “Top 100” showcase, livestream judging, and a mega-montage finale that doubles as the internet’s largest hand-made VJ set
    • The perfect excuse to flex your TouchDesigner’s CHOPs, time-slicing, and real-time rendering muscles•
    • Repeat engagement: share WIPs, swap tips, and level up together for an entire month

    Important notes

    • Duration: one month from launch day (full calendar and template download on the challenge page)
    • Deliverable: a short clip rendered at the provided BPM, or a real-time TD network exported to video
    • Any style, any workflow, any renderer—just make sure the visuals hit the beat
    • Weekly WIP livestreams: Clint and guests review in-progress clips, demo workflows (including TouchDesigner), and answer questions live.
       
      And here are the 100 top renders from the Rampage Rally Challenge
