Arcade Toy Machine - Dynamic Machines Render Challenge

Render I made for Pwnisher's 'Dynamic Machines Challenge'

We were provided a blockout, and a set time that a chrome ball should enter, and leave the box. Everything between then and now was up to our imagination. Then at the end of the contest, the submissions were stitched together to form one continuous dynamic machine.

Out of nearly ~2000 entries, mine was selected to be one of the Top 100 renders!

And the full montage of all entries here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0-IkxXyhmY&t=8171s&ab_channel=pwnisher

Other than the default box and ball, I was responsible for all modelling, texturing, lighting, and animation.
Excited to participate in this challenge, and learned a great deal while making my first Blender Render.
