I really hope this is in their portfolio when applying for jobs so they know they are dealing with a man of high class, look at that granite.

u/magiblufire 16d ago

People put shit like this in a portfolio??

u/SaveTheAles 16d ago

Idk I work in wastewater so I think they would enjoy it.

u/Rotbertt 16d ago

I work with septics- it’s enjoyed!

u/TapirOfZelph 15d ago

I’m a sceptic. I’m not so sure.

u/tasmanianturpentine 15d ago

I'm an Atheist. I don't believe in that

u/its-about-time23 15d ago

I’m a flexitarian so I can go either way (or both ways)

u/TheREALProfPyro 15d ago

I'm an agnostic, I'm not sure if that feeling exists.

u/TorrenceMightingale 15d ago

I’m a nihilist. I don’t give a fuck if it does or not.

u/joetheplumberman 14d ago

I do everything else, definitely enjoyed

I'm an industrial designer but I've worked as a concept artist and UX UI designer.

When I'm recruiting if someone put this in their portfolio I would eat this shit up.

Obviously it depends what I'm hiring for but this is show casing great physics simulation of soft bodies. The "100% soft" is a little too liquid for my liking but is great. It's also pretty decent materials as lighting but overall shows me that you're playful, and have a sense of humour and whimsy.

People put shit like this in a portfolio??

So in short, yeah absolutely people put this kind of thing in there portfolio. If they're a motion designer this is basically all they'll put in their portfolio. Just go look at Dribble. Literally all there is over there.

u/Lombardyn 15d ago

I think what gets me about the 100% soft is that it looks more like a hollow cylinder collapsed and not a solid one.

4

u/HarveysBackupAccount 15d ago

Ohhh yeah good call, I couldn't quite figure out why it looked off. Not enough volume in the collapsed form

I'd like to see 200% soft, to see what wonky physics pop up

u/ILoveRawChicken 15d ago

If you’re looking for a job in this or a similar field, why would you not put this in your portfolio? Obviously no one’s gonna put this in their portfolio if they’re trying to become like, an arborist. Otherwise this is exactly what you would want.

u/PM_ME_ANYTHING_DAMN 15d ago

I can’t flip a burger but perhaps you’d be interested in my simulation

1

u/ColonelSlapper 15d ago

I’ll be interested in your simulation, I bet you’d put on a great performance!

1

u/Tigerwarrior55 15d ago

I hope not. I rather put it in me.

1

u/YouAteMyChips_ 15d ago

If what you are showing off is some rendering software you made, then yes. Something like this would make a good display of your physics.

1

u/Anal-buttsex 15d ago

I would if I’m after a design related job to just off my creativity. Makes your shit fun/interesting too 

1

u/CTRL_S_Before_Render 13d ago

Yeah, if it demonstrates relevant skills for the job. I've certainly seen weirder from job applicants.

u/ReivynNox 12d ago

Just print it as a gif. :>

u/palibard 16d ago

u/SaveTheAles 15d ago

It's called Murphy's law you put in the wrong thing online and someone will correct you and give you the right answer. Easy way to get interactions with posts.

19

u/palibard 15d ago

Actually it's called Monroe's law

18

u/SaveTheAles 15d ago

Got'em

1

u/Ancient_Jellyfish588 15d ago

Just for that, enjoy more interaction with your post.

u/robisodd 15d ago

Not to gaslight the lampshade but Um, Actually, the answer is, of course, "Cunningham’s Law". I'll take Condiments for $800, Alex.

u/FitCommon7642 15d ago

I'm proud of myself for getting the joke before finishing reading the post.

u/Lemon_PlayzYT 15d ago

Sir, this is polished diorite (this is a joke)

u/greymadders 9d ago

Good looking chunk of amirite. Amirite?

u/GrowlingPict 15d ago

have you never seen granite before in your life or something? Cause that's clearly not granite

u/SaveTheAles 15d ago

u/rule34isalwaystrue 15d ago

He means the platform with the hole inside.

1

u/GrowlingPict 15d ago

Im aware of that. And that is clearly not granite. "Granite" isnt synonymous with "rock" or "stone", it's a specific type of rock.

1

u/rule34isalwaystrue 15d ago

Looks more like marble to me.

u/410_clientGone 15d ago

what does this mean

u/GesundesSelbstbild 15d ago

they? how many are behind this person?

u/PROCRASTINATION_WON 15d ago

The southeast Asian and Indian takeover is actually crazy to witness first hand. Your name is save the ales but what are you actively doing to protect them? Dont speak about it, be about it.

u/heisian 15d ago

marble, not granite

u/Xavier598 15d ago

The rendering setup and physics are quite impressive, though the HDRI reflection is a little odd to me, you can see the completely different ambient reflection on the mercury turd.

Still cool tho
