@@williampachev4944 7 months late, so you will probably found a client or two by now. But there're also some websites that provide the job for you, they became the bridge for the artist and the client and the job they listed also not that complicated. The pay isn't much tbh but it's an option to start with.
Congratulations Jesse. Always admired your work. I really felt you were talking to me, about me. You're 100% spot on with everything! This video is chronically underrated for no reason.
This is an excellent video for beginners in every industry, not just for 3D. As someone who struggled with perfectionism, I found myself unable to accomplish much, while others with less knowledge were making much more money. If you have the enough necessary skills, don't hesitate to apply for jobs. You don't need to be a professional to start. Perhaps perfectionism can be addressed gradually, rather than from the beginning.
Great value here Jesse! I agree with the niche spectrum a lot. I myself was challenging whether to go for architecture or product. I'm still figuring out, but with proper mindset
Solid advice, thanks! I am starting out as a freelance software developer. What you're saying rings very true for my field as well like making it practical for the client and specializing in a certain niche area.
Your modeling is really on point. Have you thought of perhaps making a modeling course, not for beginners but for something more advanced like a product that later then breaks up into pieces (like the phone animation)? Love the format of your courses, getting that first W for momentum. Most ppl putting out courses don't even know how to teach properly. Big ups to you brother!
wow!, I just finished setting up my Upwork account and then I came across this video, Feels like you are talking to me. thanks man all the way from Kenya
Curious for any advice for finding clients? Do you look on job boards for freelance gigs, make cold calls, etc? Also any thoughts on current niches and trends these days that could be worth narrowing in on?
Men thanks alot you made my career Roadmap as a whole thanks alot💙💙 keep doing your thing, wish you the best and thanks for this very useful information 💙💙
Always very useful all the information you give buddy. I do not consider myself an expert, but not a beginner, I think anyone can feel identified and your advice is also very useful ... as always!!
Such a pleasant person :) Every word you've said is true! Especially that we don't need to know everything, even thought I'm struggle with this for years... and until we question ourselves how good we are, some guy there is just going really hard! :D Really valuable tips. Really appreciate it! Wisely you have chosen the field you're working in to. Thanks Jesse. Waiting for upcoming videos on this topic :)
Thank you for watching and the encouraging words, I agree with you - I’ve struggled with that for years also and still have to remind myself every day to the high-impact stuff that really matters and ignore the rest. I definitely want turn this into a series - there’s so much to cover.
Jesse, when I watched your video about yourself, explaining that you have already worked for VFX company, I thought why you even left? But then, when you show what you've actually done (there was some scene with air jets and explosions, etc) I was shocked... and I thought. Damn it! If he can do this, than he really don't need anyone to tell him what to do, because he have such knowledge, experience and specialty and definitely can choose by himself what to do. At the end, the most important thing is to do what we love and if such work is paying our bills, than... that's it! :) But unfortunately not all of us have that luck. Sometimes we must do even most stupid work, just because we HAVE to pay our bills. Jesse, don't mind me if I ask, but where do you find your jobs mostly? Upwork? Something like that? You're pretty famous and I'm guessing people are contacting you now directly, but what about before? I would really love to hear more from you on this topic. And yes, there's so much to be told :) Take care.
@@kordanovski Thank you. I started on Craigslist actually - that was my very first client . Then I did some upwork. But I was lucky to get a few repeat clients that kept coming back, and I poured all my energy into building my youtube (not this channel, my 2nd channel which is where all my freelance stuff was at) and I got majority of my clients from that - meaning they would reach out to me after seeing some of my videos.
Amen brother, i agree with all your advice, spot on, great video, been following your TyFlow videos for awhile now, great tuts, keep up the helpful Pro tips. :)
Wow I really wish I would have known about you way before when you started you are godly.. hahah I really appreciate the effort that you make in order to share your skills with us, Your videos are hugely underrated and high quality.
Jesse you are one of the best that I have seen in my life... keep going man, I'm going to produce more and more product renderings and also improve my skills..when I saw your jobs for first I was exciting and I enjoyed so much... now I produce ADIDAS company's PRODUCT RENDERING.... it's amazing when you can produce for famous brands... One of my wishes in my life is that one day I could make an apointment with you, and I know that day I will be amazed Man....
The topics that are not generally mentioned in details are the costs of setting up your freelance "workspace" (whatever its needed to have an efficient setup, its not only one pc and thats all, many things are needed) the cost of softwares/plugins (of course there are free alternatives) and generally the first one-two year senarios of freelancing. This is the important part in my opinion... Costs sum up month by month and then you find yourself paying more that you can earn...
I think 3d modeling is an essential skill and I am glad that I learned it because not every client provides a model file. (I do product visualization).
Thanks for the advice, the most practical and useful of many on youtube. The only thing that make me feel stuck is how to tell what niches exist for a 3d artist and where to promote my job. I like environment art and hard surface but that's too broad. Any help would be very appreciated.
what to do though if your picked niche is too niche ? i for example have a passion for npr(non photorealistic rendering) anime styled storytelling. This market is probably too niche to find takers even with vtubers and mobile games in those styles on the rise. of course you can break it down to just NPR in any style to find a broader market but even then chances are probably dim. however i am trying to find ways to turn the passion into something sustainable. so with that in mind what would you recommend ?
Question: I like to do 3d product visualization for electronics and cgi automotive commercials what should I write in my linkedin? Or Its better to focus on one only?

Great advice 👍
thanks for reminding me, I'm really fucked up with "all or nothing" mentality cause I'm very perfectionist, but yeah, I think I just need to start now
Great advice!
I remember when I started out I tried to do everything also
