Dynamic Machines 3D Render Challenge was a Youtube Challenge animated by pwnisher.
The purpose was to make the biggest 3D Rube Goldberg machine.
I made a render inspired by Portal (from Valve):

I used Blender. It required these skills:
- modeling
- texturing
- physics simulation
- rigging + inverse kinematic (portal guns arms)
- constraints
- animating (correction of the of the chrome ball trajectories + portal guns)
- lighting
- compositing (to display the other side in the portals)
