You know you're either addicted...

You know your addicted when...you think just about every office project should be modeled, even doing some of it on your own time, 'cause their isn't enough in the budget to model it, but you know it would look soooo good in 3D.
-
2 common symptoms are ....... 1) when you see the final construction docs and tell the Project Manager "man that would have looked much cooler if it was modeled in sketchup" and then 2) when you tell that same PM that he wouldn't be so over his production budget for CD's if the designer had explored his options using sketchup in the Schematic phase instead of constantly changing the production drawings through later phases.

Another symptom is a whole bunch of models in progress caused by imagining how you would model this or that and then trying it out, and then somewhere in the process, the challenge fades, or some other more important issue arises, like groceries, or lawnmower, or take out the trash.

Great thread!
Glad to hear its not just me ... !
Every walk, bicycle ride, holiday or shopping trip I go on, I now think "How would I model that" or "that would look great in google earth".
I now actually find myself tailoring bike rides so we gos past a particular church or interesting building. This is great, it means I have got tonnes of photos to model some buildings from, BUT, there's just not enough hours in the day to model them!
....I even had a dream about Fredoscale the other day - I accidentally put rounded edges onto my fiancee's face, she was distraught and I couldn't undo!

haha, dude you are mental. I did, however, try sandbox tools on my cat

You know you need a break when...
you're walking through your model to get a user-perspective, round a corner, and the iClone 3d dude standing there scares you so bad you spill your wine all over your keyboard.
True story, unfortunately

Golden ratios all over the place. Everything constructed of primitives. "Oooh - look how that material reflect the light.". Caustic reflections in my glass by the lunch table have me sitting there turning the glass over and over in the light. ...until I hear the deafening silence of question-marks from my co-workers. You'd think they'd be used to it by now...

95% of my projects (not just SU projects) are uncompleted. Then again, I have a really high bar for what I consider "complete". I don't like "good enough".
-
You're about 3-4% ahead of me! I'd be lucky if I complete more than 2-3%. I don't know about my standards, I'm probably just lazy!
-
I have never completed any projects. I simply "abandon" them as "good enough" for the deadline (and the client).
