Re: Pricing first freelance commission
Here's a link that might help, http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Freelance There was a quote from another thread which I can't find, it said to rate your work on a scale of 1 to 10 start at 30$/hr - 40$/hr and then tack on years of experience. so if you have 5 years experience would be 35$/hr. Also decide your calculations on… -
Re: The Trouble with Overtime
I have not had to do crazy hrs in a long time even though some people do in the studios I have worked in. I made up my personal mind up to work hard when at work, I may do 1 hr or 2 extra from time to time but usually it is my 8hr days. A lot of it has to do with the workers also... Not all can be blamed on the companies.… -
Re: Artist Shares Experience at Rockstar San Diego
Work 10 hr days so far, and is because i like being ahead with my work and do some extra research and stuff. I could be working 8 hr days. Some build days we do end up staying a little over time... but usually i get out of here at 6.30. before i we had a stretch of work of like 12 hr days avg, for like 6 months haha. -
Re: How much to charge client ?
Ehhh... Usually they don't care how many hours it exactly takes to finish the job. If you think you can finish it in 30 hours, and you charge $25/hr and you can do 30 hrs in 5 days. Then you tell him it's gonna be 6 days and it will be $750 for it. If he thinks it's reasonable, then it's fine. It doesn't matter if you… -
Re: Your Steam Account - Games Owned vs Games Played
I think I win on percentage games not played D: Games owned: 204 Games not played: 174 (86%) Hours spent: 1041.6 hours Account worth: $2949.30 Top Games: Civilization 5 (409.2 hrs) Borderlands 2 (260 hrs) Endless Space (96.9 hrs) I'd like to point out I've only been using Steam for one year - so I've picked up a metric… -
Re: What to charge for texturing / modelling?
The secret is...to finish at half the time or less. So you're agreement is $10 x 40 hrs. Finish work at 20 hrs (maybe 2-3 days depending on your skill level), so you can make it into a $20/hr gig. You don't have to turn in until the agreed date (except if there's a bonus incentive) nor do you have to tell the client you're… -
Re: Concerning Hobbits
Yea... maybe... The hobbit is just not that big of a book.. so i dunno where they would pull a 12 hr trilogy with the extended edition. 6 hrs seems about right for the book. But we'll see... i know that in the movie blog they have characters that are not in the book... so we'll see how that goes. Any opinions on the HDR? i… -
Re: Recruiters?
Nah man. Not all companies have an HR department capable of sorting through resumes. Definitely not small studios. But then those studios don't see the sheer volume of resumes come in that would require that to begin with. And the large studios will have their own HR department to handle this. It's probably more the… -
Re: Thoughts on job recruiters and job search techniques?
I've never gotten work through a recruiter. They've tried to help here or there and a handful of them have been super awesome-it's just never happened. Any test or interviews I've gotten have come through applications, then emailing or using a LinkedIn message to a connection and getting introduced. I pretty much apply for… -
