eX-SI

ICE, scripting, and other tech stuff about Softimage aka XSI

They had a sense of humor at Softimage. This was for an introductory meeting down at Avid HQ, sometime after 2000 I would guess.

The old Softimage team were all criminals, no wonder Autodesk bought them over 🙂

Do you have any idea, where the nickname “Chinny” came from? From the side it doesn’t look like a prominent chin at all.

  …or was it the lack of a chin that earned him the nickname?

  According to Jason, the nickname did come from his chin. iirc, a friend/acquinance was looking for some way to “take the piss out of” him (tease him), and decided to go with the chin.

Another impertinent question: was this staged by a Softimage photographer or were these actual mug shots from some earlier transgression?

  It was staged as a joke. I confirmed that before posting it 🙂
