    Rendering takes precedance over sleeping (yawn).

    I'm happy to let the render run while I sleep; it's how long I spend making "just one more adustment to the scene" beforehand that gets me.

    Yep, I get the scene all rendered, nice pose, nice expression, backdrop is good, good lighting, nice hai.....DOH! the hair tips are running through her shoulder again!

    Backt to adjustments....

    My family and I were eating at a restaurant and there was a woman sitting at a table nearby who was wearing an exact copy of the Lustrum Dress Outfit for Genesis 8 Female and had green hair that looked like something created by Out of Touch with hair blending.  Her face didn't look real, her skin was so pale she looked like she had a bad texture map.  I swear she was an escaped Genesis 8 character.

    This made me laugh. I just could imagine it. There are also times I've seen someone and thought, I could get a better look with Daz

    I had to share this thread with my roommate ... too funny. And I'm also shocked I'm not the only one who has melted a computer. It got so bad I had to finally buy an Alienware so I wouldn't destroy a brand new laptop every 9-12 months.

    Well I do have a couple of real world experiences that might be signs I spend too much time on this hobby. One is, I've found I tend to talk about things in front of me using "stage left" and "stage right" instead of my left and right. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm so used to having the figures facing me on the screen and having to use their left and right to click on the correct arm or leg.

    The other is I've gotten to the point that when I'm looking at random pictures of people on the internet, every now and then I see one with a blank expression or odd lighting and whatnot, and I wonder if one of them is a really good render that someone is trying to pass as a photograph.

    When you go to get dressed in the morning and can't find that new outfit you bought... then remember it was a Daz asset. You swear at your Daz characters for stealing your clothes.

    I haven't purchased a new dress for myself in several years, but my Daz models get a new dress every few days.
    My Daz models have at least 20 times more shoes than I have.
    My Daz models have much fancier homes than I do.
    My Daz models have dozens of vehicles; I have one car that is 13 years old.
    My Daz models have dozens of hair styles and colors; I have had the same style and color for 20 years or more (thanks to Clairol).

    This is me exactly except I also look in students in the classes where I sub and wonder if I could dial them up and which skin would I use.

    You went to New Zealand just so you could be closer to Stonemason.

    And Stonemason has a restraining order on you to stay at least 500m distance.

    I just tried to click the LIKE button for this picture, thinking it was shared art from of the many Daz and 3D-art groups I belong to- on FaceBook.

    Actually, it's from a car ad.

    Wow, way too much 3D content in my life.

    I can relate to soooo many of the posts here. 

    1) I'm a night owl, so I'm always staying up late and working on something.  I get so swept up in what I'm doing that I'm always surprised when it's been two or three hours since I last looked at the clock.  Oops.  

    2) I can't log off the computer until I see the new deals for the day.  I'll tell myself I've already spent enough this week/month/year, but then there might be a coupon.  And then I'm telling myself again, that's enough for the week/month/year haha.  

    3) If I'm rendering something, I can't go to bed until that render has finished.  Most of my renders finish in under an hour, but that hour might be four or five am and I'm telling myself I can do the render in the morning (I could let it render while I'm asleep, but I live with two other adults that share this computer and I don't trust them to wait).  

    4) I buy so many things that I often discover them months later, never having used them.  There was an environment I bought last year for the sole purpose of rendering a particular scene with a character.  But I bought it at a time when I'd bought lots of other PC+ items.  I just recently found it (under lost and found, strangely enough) and couldn't believe I hadn't used it yet.  I found loads of things I'd never used.  And here I am, still buying things.

    5) When my brother asks what I'm doing, and I say I'm rendering.  It doesn't even surprise him anymore.  

    6) I have dreams about rendering.  Usually, it's something that gets canceled and I have to do the render over again, or I'm working on a scene that seems to take four hours to place one item.  Or I dream about my graphics card.  I bought a new GPU recently and after a few days of rendering, I had a dream that I blew up the graphics card.  Yeesh.

    You got Cs in math but can do the long-form calcualtions required to figure out DAZ discounts in your head.

     

    ...heh, I think Daz Sales Math is now an advanced course at MIT.

    Crikey I've studied algebra, trigonometry, calculus, even abstract algebra as well as celestial mechanics and I still can't figure out how they do it.

    Yep, there are research labs studying Daz discount maths to try to understand it...
