Re: Help! Dont know how much to charge on a freelance job
Charge Daily, but do as Brian says and calculate hourly for yourself. Also don't forget to calculate Tax, I dunno about the U.S but it the EU we have VAT which is an extra 25% you need to charge etc. So don't forget about that stuff! 35$ is not high btw. I'd say 35$ is middle of the road, depending on your cost of living… -

How to draw - mirroring tilted planes
I've recently purchased Scott Robertson's How to Draw and I want to make sure I understand this section on page 36 correctly before I move on so it doesn't bite me later.

Big painting on a ceiling, how would you do it?
Hello people! I stumble upon a Uncharted 4 environment done by Andres Rodriguez on Arstation. As I was trying to analyze the scene thinking about how I would do it I couldn't think aobut a solution for the ceiling. It is too big for a single texture to retain all the detail I guess.

Not sure how to do this in Maya 2008 (Max3D splines?)

How to make hanging roots similar to those found in Fallout 4?
I'm using Unreal Engine 4, I'm trying to figure how to get started on making hanging roots that I can place around. Would it be just a plane with a texture of roots and tiny leaves?
