Or your nightly routine actually consists of setting up and starting the render right before bed, then checking it in the morning to see if it finished or crashed.

Oh hey I do that too!

My latest “I do this”: You have to take off one side of your desktop because your renders can get so intense that the CPU monitoring software may shutdown your system in self-defense due to overheating, and that’s the only thing you can do, because the system is already full of fans and passive cooling.

(Seriously—I can’t fit more fans nor passive coolers there. About the only way I could make it better would be full-oil immersion system or water cooler.)

There is a picture of you on PeopleofWalmart.com wearing your supersuit.

You dream about doing renders and then check your PC for the pictures when you wake up.

Once I had a dream where I would open the parameters tab and translate myself through walls instead of using the door.

That’s funny!

You check the receipt in the supermarket and ask: “Where’s my 30% PC discount”?

Especially when the supermarket you frequent has PC products. (President’s Choice).

You watch movies trying to figure out how to set that lighting in a scene.

You wish you had Send in the Clones for real props.

I want to use it on quarters so I can have plenty of laundry money. Or is that another one.  You wish that you could take your clothes’  textures into Photoshop to remove stains and freshen them up.

You get upset that you start to smell on a hot day because Victoria or Michael do not become stinky ever even if you render them a lot in one day.

2. You KNOW what Victoria’s secret is.

 

...hehhehheh…good one.

OK another one…

You have an SFW render as the wallpaper on your computer at the day job.

(I actually do)..

You go to the gym and look for machines with morph sliders you can set to 1 and then go shower your new muscular body.

Whenever you see something painted white ( street lights, fences), you wonder, why there is no texture on it ...

You complain to the clothing department that there’s no smoothing modifier or triax weight mapping in what they sell.

You look in the mirror and think about sliding the bump down a few notches.

A little later, you think about the displacement maps and muscle morphs that would best suit your body type.

You see a nice car but are dissatisfied that the shader doesn’t have enough chrome.

You giggle like an 8-year old when you daydream about how wonderful the next renders would look.

You’re at work and think how you can speed up the rendering time so you can see the results (i.e. payday).

When the postman leaves mail for someone else you write Not James Minderberger on it.

You get panic attacks whenever a new store opens in your neighborhood.

You write No Postwork on your wedding photos.
