Howdy, I’ll be speaking at a local Autodesk workshop, and one of my slides will be those funny things we hear from clients. So, do you have any you can share? I remember us listing some, but I couldn’t find it. •Why is the color different here, than there? (same color, only in shadow) •Can you do…

The best one I’ve ever heard which was in a vfx context for a uk station called channel 4. They had a large 3d rendered 4 at the end of one of their station idents and the director asked the 3d guys to render it with a mirror material, so that when people watched it on TV they’d see their faces refl…

we can’t pay you until our client has paid us, that’s how it works.Great one! I get it all the time.

“we’ll be flying by the seat of our pants on this one”. Architects code for "I haven’t actually done any design and I want you to make it up for me…"So, that’s what that means :). So, they want free design services, too.

My favorite is: Change this, and change that… (example: move the sun behind the camera so all the materials are the same). And, after bastardizing the image your feedback is, “Why doesn’t my image look as good as your others?”

I have trouble with that sometimes I’m given a simple piece of furniture to model and it’s done quickly and rendered into the scene - co-workers exclaim, ‘you’re fast!’ - then they give me a crazy crystal chandelier and except the same amount of time.. same thing happens with just doing quick photo…

by far, my favorite is, “I am going home for the day, here are my sketches; I have a client meeting tomorrow morning and I need a rendering.”

2nd this. Damn clients always pull this and my usual response is usually something along these lines… “My contract was with you, not your client, jerk!” I usually leave off the “jerk” part though.

Yeah I get this for glass a lot too. It needs to be more reflective… now it needs to be more transparent… where’s the depth gone?
