We Compete to Make the Most Un-Satisfying CGi

[@flowersforferdinand375]

everything was so unsatisfaying, i mean, the statue breaks his head and not only don't make it to the basket but it breaks it, and on the same run, the statue breaks and falls into a container but the container disapears right before you can saw it. there's a ton more just frustratingly brilliant! Great job Sam!

[@loopiloop]

In the pop toy thing, the fact that the first two attempts failed actually makes the final one extremely satisfying because the first two lower your expectations and when you think things won't improve, it suddenly works perfectly

[@MiuKujo]

It would have been better if the final pop was just a piddly poor excuse of a pop. Barely even getting off the floor.

[@garrettbates9124]

Yeah the first two should have worked properly, with intensifying pop-ness... Only for the third one to just... deflate

[@kolonesque5722]

I think it would have been even better if the camera, used to see it failed, moved back, and you barely see the toy pop in the corner of the camera

[@boombadaboom3077]

Agreed tho, but wren is the god of all aspec except the storyboard, i feel so satisfying for the render only

[@alexandercandicedad1355]

I thought the same. If the first two worked and then the third fell flat? *chef's kiss* peak unsatisfying!

[@TheKarishi]

If the popper hadn't gone off the third time that would have gotten it. The concept was so unsatisfying that the creator himself wasn't willing to see it through, and thus he failed to truly fail.

[@Naofumi-Iwatani]

Task failed successfully

[@harbingerofwarx995]

It should have had landed on a pile of the unpopped ones and then when it finally popped it would be dampened, barely get any height, and gone off to the side. And for the ball one at the beginning, it should have ended up in a loop at the end where it just never actually stopped, just kept circling. You'd forget the beginning was satisfying if there was just no closure at all.

[@Kibbelingg]

Exactly. Would also 've been an option to do make it pop the third time but in a very unstatisfactory way. Like more of a weak "Blewp" instead of a powerful "Pop!"

[@vibaj16]

that just makes it more unsatisfying, so it actually works

[@OMGclueless]

If Wren was truly dedicated to the unsatisfaction, it wouldn't even deflate. It would just hover on the edge of popping like the spinning top in Inception until the camera cut back to the next loop.

[@midgetsow]

The one with the vending machine, as he started to walk away it should have started to malfunction and drop a bag of chips. He turns around and gasps with delight as the chip bag falls 90% of the way and gets stuck, crushing his dreams.

The fact that the popper doesn’t shoot up all the time makes it somehow even more satisfying when it eventually does. It’s like watching the DVD logo finally hit the corner.

[@Mr.Fulton]

My thoughts exactly

[@MGmirkin]

Really should have "popped" half-heartedly, tried to just barely flip over, but not even manage that and just kinda' fell back to where it started. Or, instead of "deflating" into a "plate" should have just slowly deformed back into a half-circle with no "pop" sound effect. Or: 1) "deflate to plate," 2) "pop," but just barely tip on edge and not actually flip, over, just roll back - then - 3) slowly, "deform" back to neutral half circle with no "pop" or other sound effect. END. That would be **so** unsatisfying.

[@luiskerscher5047]

Yeah, why didn't the render the DVD Logo NOT hitting the corner. I'm completely with you this time, fellow!

[@they-call-me-mister-trash847]

If it could have been longer, you make every other one pop correctly, and then just a series of like 10 or 20 that don't pop at all. That would have been perfect.

[@anomaliecosmos]

Thanks to the oft-quoted rule of three, that one failed to be unsatisfying because I totally just expected it to fail a second time and then succeed. Now, starting off with a successful or halfhearted pop and then growing progressively lamer instead...you get the promise of that sweet sweet assembly line-style dopamine hit but it never comes back.

[@HeliosAlpha]

Jordan should've totally won. The lowest rating represents the least satisfying one, but being the "least satisfying" isn't the same as the "most unsatisfying". Edging the viewer, building satisfaction until the very end, then not letting it finish is clearly the most unsatisfying feeling

[@Cactoos]

Agree

[@morrownow]

Yes, it's always frustrating when they defined the rules so well at the beginning and at the end most of them don't really understand the assignment.

[@BrAkki]

@@morrownow Yeah, like the really bad episodes of myth busters, where they fail to underdstand the myth and spends the whole episode preparing for a test that in the end won't prove anything. These things make me feel uneasy for hours...

[@imlando93]

I agree! The most unsatisfying thing is to build towards a climax that never comes. I think he achieved that the most out of everyone.

[@excellenceadigun9093]

I feel that if Wren did more work with his sfx (maybe add some ASMR of the air slowly depressurising from the pop-it, and had the music gradually die off, then have the pop-it make the disappointing small “pop” that we remember from childhood, like it just stopped sucking instead of launching into the air), he would have had the most unsatisfying render

[@AlwaysLoisLane]

I think there is a difference between something that is obnoxious and something that is frustrating. I agree with the scores in regards to obnoxiousness, but I believe Jordan and Wren really got that subversion in theirs, which made it frustrating because there is an actual build up. For instance, if Sam's statue had done a perfect dodging of every single obstacle and then, at the very end, hit the edge of the platform and fell over? I'd be PISSED, and he's definitely win for me.

[@immanuel_v]

Actually in the 3rd run the statue should have missed most of the obstacles then fall on the final pedestal.

[@larryphotography]

I thought it would be really infuriating if it just got stuck against an object and jerked around not going anywhere

[@RobotSantaClaus]

So I guess the lesson is something being obnoxious is worse than it being frustrating. I.e. we tolerate frustrating things more than obnoxious things. And honestly, that seems about right

[@AlwaysLoisLane]

@@RobotSantaClaus I was actually meaning it the other way around I think, but maybe I see what your point is. In regards to "dissatisfying", I think frustrating is the key. Build expectation then don't deliver. I believe that that is worse but it's a worse that we understand. It's a bad that makes sense and we love to hate it. On the other hand, when Sam's render, for instance, just kept messing everything, it was just obnoxious. It's not as bad as it would be if it was frustrating, so it's just... tasteless, lukewarm. I don't like it and wouldn't watch it. It lacks the passion. Maybe it's kinda like when we pass watching a bad movie but if it's really really terrible, it loops back to being good and we love hating it. In that sense, a below average movie is worse than the worst movie.

[@squashiejoshie200000]

I don't know, the fact that the popper actually works in the end. It adds satisfaction. If the third one had popped, but just flipped over instead of leaving the screen, that would be way better.

[@micaiahclark]

Ok, but Wren’s would’ve definitely been the most unsatisfying by a long shot if he had just kept the popper from actually popping 😂

[@Piper_____]

Like, it actually “pops,” but it doesn’t go up in the air and just sits there right-side-out on the ground.

[@DarthCariss]

Sam's definitely took the cake for me. Even on a meta level, I was waiting for it to fall over and then he tries to flip it over like he was working on in the first preview of it, but that moment doesn't happen in the final render. It's unsatisfying both onto itself and onto my expectations for it.

That’s a great idea!

[@Travelinmatt1976]

Very nice idea, or like you move the camera along showing the entire course in detail from the end to the beginning and just when the marble falls the camera glitches and gets stuck as the marble rolls out of the shot.

[@WaxierWarrior]

@@Travelinmatt1976 i was thinking something similar. Like setting up the whole course with a close shot to wide panoramic to a zoom on the ball, then the ball falls off like before they had fixed it

[@OneRoostyBoi]

I was honestly expecting the unsatisfying spin to be the ball not fitting into the hole. Like it'd hit the hole, but be too big and just sit on top of it xD

[@mrofftopic2802]

I think Jordan fit perfectly the criteria for the challenge. It was supposed to be a satisfying video that turned out to be very unsatisfying.

[@muneeb-khan]

The secret to a true unsatisfying video is hope. Because that's the only way you'll watch it through.

[@TheTenzen12]

I was actualy unsatisfied with how unsatisfying it was. Just imagine if ball would actualy go into hole, just to bounce out on last second instead!

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The thing is Jordan's was super satisfying right up until that moment, as opposed to Sam's which had several moments of "that would be great, if..." like you love the textures but the color is off, the statues were all knocked over or crooked and crumbled. Jordan and Wren had great colors and textures, but the balance was in the favor of something cool happening. Meanwhile Peter over achieved his ass off again, so while it was unsatisfying, it was still a wonder to look at.

To make the marble obstacle course even more unsatisfying, make it bump into each obstacle, but miraculously still proceed forward, until in the end it doesn't fall into the hole.

[@Ceekur]

Wren's would've been even better if, after the third one popped, it just barely misses landing in a container full of poppers. So it was successful in popping, but fails landing with the others

[@marklock611]

[@DasVERMiT]

Wren's shouldn't have popped at the end. That was too satisfying. If it just kept failing (maybe in different ways) it would have been the best.

[@Sebbir]

I feel like it would have been more unsatisfying if the two first ones popped and the last one failed instead. And then maybe the two first ones fell down again and knocked the third one around

[@eefneleman9564]

It should have popped once at the beginning and then failed twice. The pop at the end was just too satisfying.

[@JamesDarcon2007]

Third one could've popped but not went anywhere then just collapsed lol

[@pdonettes]

I think the most unsatisfying would have been to do the whole marble track, having the camera go the who,e way down, showing what it was going to do, then just have the marble fall off the track.

[@iomeliora9430]

The perfect frustrating ending for the marble would have been to actually fall in the hole, and not fit in it.

No, you see that could be viewed as intentional, and symmetrical. Rolling around the edge is both asymmetrical and obviously a failure. Very unsatisfactory.

how about if the marble lands on the edge and then a flame shoots from the hole and melts the marble, and while it is melting, some of it falls into the flame and is being pushed up a little and then falling back and blackening and burning, and then the flame slowly lessens until it's mostly gone and some of the liquid drops of the marble remain on the edge of the hole

Watching Wren try to make a half-sphere and all I can think of is Blender's "Solidify" modifier

Yeah, but Wren was inspired by that one time they remade the Tron sequence and now he wants to make everything through Union/Excluding of basic shapes. ;)

[@WhatsMikeUpTo]

@@treyslider6954 I think that way of modeling may be more intuitive for him because of his engineering background. A lot of 3D CAD software are booleans and modifiers and relationships. So it makes sense that that style of additive / subtractive / joining modeling would feel natural for him. That’s just my take on it though…

[@Lttlemoi]

@@WhatsMikeUpTo It looks like the volume system he was using did a conversion from meshes to voxels to meshes again. I'm not sure what the advantage of that detour was for his project. I guess it was so he didn't have to take care to properly align the geometry like you have to when using mesh-based boolean operators.

[@Kwistmeisterflex]

Painful to watch, in 3DS max - Create sphere, delete bottom half, Shell modifier - Takes about 10 seconds, not this insanely slow method he went with

[@Lttlemoi]

@@Kwistmeisterflex Add 3DS max's version of the bevel modifier to make the edges less harsh, enable smooth shading and you're basically done. Creating the thickness with a modifier also means you only have to animate only one surface instead of two surfaces that are close to each other.

Wow. That was really fun to watch the end results. I was expecting the ball to get in the hole but be too big and get stuck.
