Just a small update on my situation.
My team (except me, being the manager of the team) has been furloughed, so I'm now handling all 3D work. Due to the almost instantaneous (and personally, I think shortsighted) decision by many developers to put their projects on hold our workload has dropped off significantly enough to warrant putting large parts of the practice on furlough. Aside from concerns about the future of the economy/my job, I've been enjoying working from home...
Around 9 months ago I switched to a laptop workstation, which instantly highlighted the fact that for me to work from home I needed to sync our 3D models/texture assets from our server instead of trying to pull tens of gigabytes over my crappy internet connection. I've used Windows Sync Centre to achieve this and aside from one random hiccup where a lot of tiles were duplicated, it's been working fine for months. That said; it is only me using it and I can imagine if a whole team were, it'd be a bit of a nightmare.
I've been enjoying my more creative freedom when working on images! I hadn't realised just how often people come to my desk and look at a half finished image (which then scares them) and begin making changes. I've been sending images out with much more interesting lighting, shading, post production, etc than I normally would and people are loving it!
My home setup has always been quite a robust one; because I produce music in my spare time - so I've got a full office setup ready to go, whereas many of my colleagues are struggling to work from their kitchen tables.
I've done more DIY and gardening than ever before, I'm not getting stuck in rush hour traffic every day, I'm working hours that suit me, I'm spending LOADS more time with my wife and dog. Aside from missing socialising with my family and friends, and going to pubs... I am actually really enjoying everything. Once normality is restored I may ask my employer if I can work a day or two a week from home as it's been so successful.
