Ben's Leaving 3DTotal!!



One of our core team; aka 'Ben-3dt', 'Benny little boll.ocks' or just plain Ben is Leaving today after 4 long years of service at the 3DTotal HQ.

This amazing dude was responsible for building the CDs, DVDs and interfaces for all our products, being Mag editor for all issues of 3DCreative and 2Artist, organizing and building all Shorts Drawer DVDs, entertaining us with his jokes and wind, making over 1 billion cups of tea, helping run the Siggraph stand this year, doing all customer service emails AND being an all-round super helpful guy. I’m sure he will have 'touched' many of you as he has 'touched' us over the last few years and he will be sorely missed.

Everyone please add your thanks (and jokes) for Ben, he has played a big part in making 3DTotal what it is today and deserves loads of good luck in the future. It would be great if there is lots of posts here before it reads it in about 16 hours time, will add photos of the leaving lunch, his present and more of his stupid face later!

Cheers Tom

Sorry to hear that your extradition papers have come through and your being forced to return to complete the remainder of your sentence.
It was only a matter of time, and as they say 'dont do the crime if you cant make tea for a 28stone man called 'Baby' while touching your toes'

Hope the Con-air flight leaves on time etc, take care buddy

3Dtotal wont be the same without you! Cause il have to make my own tea when i visit!

See you at the pub bro, first round of 'Liberty Drinks' are on you!!
