Another quicky from me

[natty]

i'll see what i can do..

[Dynedain]

please do. please do. it took me about 3 months or so to build http://www.elfpro3d.com/GS/Marina/test20.jpg and i was talking with percy and he said he could do that in a couple of weeks rather than a couple of months. all be it there were no digital blueprints to start with. all was on paper. and i ran into tonnes of architectural errors they never noticed untill i started modeling it in 3d. i too love what i do however i still have to pay bills. right now im only barely breaking even and would love to be able to actually make profits. that marina project was 3500$ USD so obviously if it took a few months it really wasnt worth the work put into it.

When we run into 'errors' - we interprit them as best we can, and if the client wants it changed, we charge extra for "additiona service" beyond our original contract at an hourly rate defined in the contract. Just like a contractor does with "change orders". Don't let them use you for free error-checking.

yeah. im now learning these things. my little business is only 1.5 years old and although ive been plying with 3d for a very very long time. doing arch viz is totally new to me. atleast im breaking even with all my bills. but ill definately like to make profits. only way to do that without raising price is to work faster.

Perhaps you can set up a webcam and charge us so we can follow you around for a month... Kind of like Big Brother without being voted off.

In all seriousness - that would be fantastic.

[Syclone1]

A free webcam would be better but I imagine the badwidth required to watch natty work would be pretty hefty
