Came here for your beginner tutorials, but I stumbled across this video. It's so good to hear other people talking about these experiences. I have had my fair share of underestimating and refunding clients. This video helps take the edge off a little! Thanks for sharing.
I have been lucky soo far with the client being highly professional ( and patient). it takes time for them to gather and write down a good brief but that will bee a big difference in the end. soo I agree documentation is important.
Honestly, as long as you get the work done by a deadline, it doesn't matter how long it takes you. Should you get paid less if you're super efficient or quick.
Honestly if I was done ahead of time I think I would just sit on it till almost the deadline and then they would never know. If you are getting paid by the job this should be ok. If you are getting paid by the hour then this would be really dishonest.
So how much for a rendering of a default cube? Oh yes that sounds reasonable lets do it. . . . . How's this for you [ ] ? That's great, now when the dancing elephants come in and play footsie with it, we'll be done. I guess I'm a little more cynical than Grant, if someone led with shining text then down the line hugging kissing characters were tacked on, I'd be much less conservative in my review of the situation. ;) Still, I'd prefer to live in his world.
most tablet have 8000ish levels and that's absolutely fine most people probably would not notice a difference between that and 2000. Check my ultimate guide it might help you :)
Maybe for a tutorial try sculpting a face similar to Thomas the tank engine. Got a graphics tablet not sure how to use it. Baby steps for noobs like me. Thanks for reading this post.
It would make a great tutorial and would make good practice getting use to using a graphics tablet. If you told a young student that does not have much experience drawing 9 out of 10 times they would draw a simple face first then add other elements. Just want to say thanks grant for all the help you have already given on my blender journey.
its sad that people who teach others there work and about the industry dont get that many views and then mean while a reaction channel gets way more views :(
Jo Grant, I didnt watch the video yet but Freelancing is a "hot" topic rn, what are legal issues that might occur if you are for example 17 years and dont pay taxes. In my country you can earn up to 450 or something like that and not pay taxes(totally fine as i probably would not earn more than that in the beginning anyway) but doesnt the person need to do something, to atleast make it possible to track where that income comes from? Also if he uses for example Fiverr anything there ? Btw the person i am talking about is not me ^^ I am older
kick a** portfolio is the obvious way in. Show your best pieces, share on lots of platforms and forums and chat to people in industry :) If your good and willing to fit in with people you will get work

Fascinating stuff. It’s definitely true that people who don’t do 3D are going to struggle to understand how long a 3D project might take.

The new background is cool.
Thanks :) I think it needs a little work though :)
I love it grant thnks very much. keep going man your great!
Thanks :)
Thid whole mesh with the animated characters... Story of my life 😎

Yes in a way. :)

How's this for you [ ] ?

Yeah I should have stopped the project at that point but my over enthusiasm got the better of me :)
Is high pressure sensitivity important for sculpting on a graphic tablet

Over phone or Skype can record calls.
Yep true :) I just find email a bit quick to reference :)

Thanks I'll look into it :)

@@robertmurray2293 Yes I might get time over the weekend for this one :)
Great video but the "competition winners" thingy is a bit distracting, maybe let the images slowly scroll through the next time
noted thanks :)

That's a big topic and maybe I need to go into it in another video :)
@@grabbitt Ok, i just mean, not that just everyone goes freelancing and might get in trouble for it, especially the younger ones
Hmm seems pretty tough I don't I'll be able to do freelance work well not by myself
It's best to go into the industry and work for a few years before going freelance i think
@@grabbitt I'm New Sub . What is the best way into industry for self-taught like myself?
kick a** portfolio is the obvious way in. Show your best pieces, share on lots of platforms and forums and chat to people in industry :) If your good and willing to fit in with people you will get work
Great...
Thanks :)
Was this Fiverr? I smell sender later night anxiety exhuming from this...
