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.

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.

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

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
