Oh, you are so wrong, my friend. Death by PHP is much more painful than death by ASP.

My teacher today, “LOOK EVERY, THERE’S A NEW MULTI SELECT TOOL, EVERYONE TRY IT OUT”

Me: :banghead: (another hardly useful Maya tool, I’m glad at least some people like them)

Ok this just happened today:

Were doing a shopping mall animation and the client wants some camera tracking a other footage to go along with the animation (mainly of the surrounding area and ‘lifestyle’ of the neighborhood). So we get a dvd with footage put together, its about a hour long and the worst camera work I’ve ever seen. They also rented a Ferrari and filmed it driving around the site and around town for god knows what reason. The footage of the Ferrari was awful, shaky camera work and really bad lighting. This Ferrari was silver. Here’s how the email went after we emailed them confirming we got the dvd:

Client: "I hope you found the footage to your liking and something you can work with, BTW can you make the Ferrari yellow?"

Me:…hahahahahahahahhahahahahha

“We love your work, you’ve saved our asses time and time again … but we’re out of money and have to let you go. Merry Christmas, BTW.”

P.S. I’m currently looking for work.

#1286

Oh…damn dude that stung me. Sorry for the misfortune, bastards…
Good luck finding something better!

#1287

Yeah this sucks as a christmas pressy. Indeed good luck finding a better job.

LOL! Sounds like the architectural place I just left. The computer illiterate ditz of an office manager (who was put in charge of hiring new 3d designers) hires a guy to help us with some current projects and after she hires him comes out and asks me how different Maya is from 3ds max. I just stared at her blankly. They were also running massive amounts of pirated software and are now being sued for it.

#1289

That never fails to amaze me. Students, sure. Hobbists, alright. But a business using pirated software is something I can’t fathom. They’ve got to know they’ll be caught.

There are even worse stupid comments than work related ones. This thankyou note I received from Bill Connel (an insulation magnate I actually know) sum up a large percentage of the emai I received this year,… sound familiar?

Dear Friends,[/left]
[font=Arial]Just before the end of the year, I wanted to thank you for the e-mails you have forwarded to me over the year.[/font]

[font=Arial]I must send a big thank you to whoever sent me the one about rat shit in the glue on envelopes, because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, I now have to wipe the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave it all to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. But that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft are sending me for participating in their special email programs. Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants me to split seven million dollars with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a customer who died intestate.[/font]

[font=Arial]I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me. I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward emails to seven friends and make a wish within five minutes. I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer can buy petrol without taking a friend along to watch the car so a serial killer won’t crawl in my back seat when I’m filling up. I no longer go to shopping centre’s because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number and then I’ll get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan. I can’t use anyone’s toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my bum. I can’t even pick up the $5.00 I found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.[/font]

[font=Arial]If you don’t send this email to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will sit on your head at 5:00pm this afternoon and fleas from 12 camels will infest your backside, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour’s ex-mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s beautician. By the way…a South American scientist after a lengthy study has discovered that people with low IQ who don’t have enough sex, always read their emails while holding the mouse. Don’t bother taking it off now, it’s too late.[/font]

[font=Arial]Thanks and Merry Christmas to You All[/font]

[font=Arial]Cheerio Chris

#1291

LOL! that’s funny!!!

#1292

Thank god I read this on here instead of an actual email :blush: :stuck_out_tongue:

#1293

…has discovered that people with low IQ who don’t have enough sex, always read their emails while holding the mouse…

what if I just had a finger on my trackpad? I’m safe right? RIGHT???

#1294

It’s ok Mike, I had my hand on the track pad too :slight_smile:

#1295

I win! I had my chin propped up with my hands while reading that beast.

#1296

“final cut etc…on for pc no mac please”

ROFL…

#1297

hey… I like the m-tool. try sliding edgeloops along a surface without disturbing the form without that magical little magnet button, it can’t be done! :slight_smile:

that’s like saying the n-tool isn’t useful because you prefer to manually bridge edges :smiley:

#1298

This one is from way back. We where using a closed BSP engine meaning no leaks or gaps in the outer hull where allowed. Upon reviewing the work of someone else I found a large, very noticeable hole in the sky, it looked to be deliberately cut into the skybox. I patched the hole guessing it was a mistake, compiled it and sent the file back.
It came back with this note:
“Thanks for filling in the hole, but that’s that how the helicopters get in”.
Puzzled I wrote back:
“So there is more to the area that will be added later, how will this effect the sky box?”
I got back:
“That’s all there is, we need that hole. Without it the helicopters couldn’t get in. By the way we keep getting this error about a leak, think you can fix it?”

#1299

I laughed for a full 5 mins.

Me too Crawls back onto office chair

We were not very busy before Xmas so at the studio where i work we updated the show reel, I did some basic animations of a character we had from one of our jobs!

He walked on to the screen and lifts a heavy box arching his back and locking his knees like you see in most “stylized” animations.

anyway i have just come back after Xmas break, and have had a meeting about the character animation. with comments like this:

“I don’t think he should arch his back its not safe, and might encourage bad work practice “health and safety””

“If the box is so heavy, should he really be trying to lift it?”

“I think he needs a hard hat, whenever you do manual labor you need a hard hat right?”

“What about a handle on the box so he dos not have to struggle with it”

“Whats the weight of the box? is it inside of the safety guidelines?”

“Shouldn’t a box that heavy be lifted by a forklift? do we have a folk lift we can use on file?”

I’m now redoing the animation with him driving a folk lift?

Go figure!
