Re: Getting paid!
There's no blanket answer here. Figure out what your hourly rate should be, then estimate how much time it should take to complete. Multiply time by 130% or so to cover revisions, etc. This is what you should charge. Make sure you know exactly what the client wants. Is it a simple model from a concept that they will… -
Hey, United Kingdom, tell me about your voltage. (Or anyone from US/CAN who travels!)
I'm heading to Great Britain (England + Scotland) on Saturday and I'm going over my electronics. My understanding is that GB voltage is 230 +/- 10, correct? So if I have electronics that require 110/220V, 110/230V, and 110/240V I should be fine with just an adaptor, yeah? Do I need a converter if its 110/250V ? -

Re: UV Workflow / Max 8
I have Shift-R set to open the Relax dialog, and I always use Relax by Face Angles instead of by Edge Angles, with Iterations of 100 and Amount of 1.0 - works perfectly for nearly every possible outcome I've come across. Basically I just slap an Unwrap UVW modifier on top of my object, select any bunch of faces I want to… -
Re: What is the potential of Python in Archviz - Looking for Ideas and Insights
One common issue I've seen in archviz work at major retailers (I used to work at Wayfair, now I provide software for similar big retailers) is how difficult it is to get consistent quality assets from outsourcers. There's a strong need for validation systems. We had an extensive system in Max that checked for more than 100… -

Re: Baking AO with Mental Ray ...... HELL!!
Mental ray does suck, XNormal is better but I never got used to its workflow and Gui and setting up complicated scenes became a ball ache. Vray is really nice, but has similar cage issues in my experience when using High to Low projections. So ... I do occasionally use mental ray for the AO if I'm in a hurry. The trick is… -
Re: Looking to buy a new GFX card
If you can find a low-profile 260, you've got a point. Until then the 9800 that was posted is the fastest low-profile card you can find(on newegg atleast), which is important if you've read the thread. =) As far as 8 vrs 9, the 8800 GTX and 9800 GTX give you virtually identical performance(the 9800 being a hair faster),… -
Re: LA or Montreal?
Hi Froggie!!! :D I live in Montreal, and I moved here from LA. I would say for the most part, LA is a lot better than MTL unless you're completely fluent in french (like Froggie), or young and single. Rent is a bit higher in LA, but the taxes in Montreal are the highest in North America. To give you an idea, if I made my… -
