.....As the Jung trained psychoanalysts might say. 

Here is what a top animator is quoted as saying to the New York Times:

“We’re like psychoanalysts.  We try to find what the underlying problem is. You have problems with your mother? Let’s go back and look at your toilet training.”


The uses of discrete differential geometry go far beyond animation.


As he sees it, his work frees the artists from worrying about a puffed sleeve so they can focus on what they do best, like capturing expressive emotion. His reward is different: “As long as you make pretty pictures, you get to keep learning all this math and physics.”


[I have to get off this psycho-social kick I've been on lately and get back to nuts and bolts kind of things.  Working in the mental health system was probably the worst thing that could have happened to me.]
