actually i do mostly freelance stuff. i don't have any clients right now so i thought i would see if some people here who are serious about making games would want to invest in some quality models for a low price.i do mostly characters but i haven't updated my website in a while so all the stuff on there is old. i will try to post some of my more recent stuff soon.

I wouldn't put this there unless you want it to be ignored by 90% of the board. Generally most of us just go in there on random chances because of what the board is full of.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of your freelance work, because what you have on your site doesn't appear to reflect the quality of the head model you've been showing off.
It is a bad practise to keep a portfolio so lapse, as if I were a prospective employeer I'd want to see what your capable of right now.

While your modelling style is relatively good, the head does seem a little polygon rich around the facial features, yet bland in other areas. You want to try to keep the flow of the mesh, and make up for any polygon depth loss with the texture and shading.
While a good Bake can help this, never forget that you can always create a basic model then using something like Texporter create a higher polygon one to give your bakes a normalised feel to them..

I wouldn't mind seeing some better peices beside just the head

the explosions on the example reel (at the start) don't look right, there is no depth to the scene, and even i can tell that it is using max's fire effect found under the astmospherics tab - unless i'm very much mistaken

Ian- yes you are mistaken. I made those with lightwaves hypervoxels. as much as i would have liked to make that one more realistic the guy whose movie it is wanted a "cheesy buffy the vampire look" to it. Also the guy only paid me 200 dollars so i didn't feel like putting to much time into it.

I suggest you leave right now Dr.Evil, I highly doubt anyone on these boards will pay 200 dollars for a model or two, and also I don't think people would want to do buisness with you, you should put the same effort into all your models regardless of price.

Have a heart and join my message board.And now my messageboards work again!Woot!

not to be funny, but $200 is atleast worth a day of work (8hrs)
I know that freelancers get alot more money than I working full-time, seriously though... it only takes like 30minutes to create a nice effect. Hell it would've cost the poor guy less to get a Particle Maker like ParticalFX for $20 and make his own.

This has always been a problem I have had with freelancers, there seems to be little pride in what they're doing.
"It's all about the Benjamin's!" .. sad really.

i just love how people with no clue to the actual situation of certain things like to make assumptions like the ones you guys made (Raven and Anime Blood). When someone gives you two days to make something, you tend to have to make comprimises. If you were to see the full resolution version of the clip you probably would not have been so quick to make the assumptions. Also, as i mentioned previously, the guy wanted it to look cheesy.
By the way, why does everyone have to be so crabby on these forums?
Oh and Anime Blood. Where did I say anything specific to how much i woud charge for models i make for anyone here? I was talking about the clip specifically.

Perhaps, but somehow I have a feeling if I knew the whole story I would be thinking the exact same thing.
Actually I'm pretty sure I would, given.. there is just something about the body of work you've chosen to show off and the scale of it, it seems quite rudementary. No offense, but someone who has beeng doing this stuff as long as you have; with that reel being the best you have to offer. Not to mention the Stills you have.

Something just doesn't seem right somewhere.

Anyways my comments were more on what you made, and more to the point your comment about how much it was. A full character including custom animations would take one hell of alot longer than the simple CGI Building Exploding to create; If you feel $200 wasn't enough for 2 days work, then perhaps you are looking in the wrong place. For work, I think that is what is being put across here by the other users who commented.

i guess since you don't know the whole story your point isn't quite valid. however, i do agree that the body of work on my website is not very good representation of my current skill level.
There was actually more to the explosion than you are probably realising. there were actually about 5 different types of explosion voxel layers, plus the building itself being deconstructed, the debris that you can't see at the low resolution, plus in the final cut (which isn't the version on the site) has a man being blown away from the building, and more that i don't really feel like wasting time mentioning right now. Oh and some people work more than 8 hours a day when they are in a pinch. I spent more like 20 hours on it in the 2 day stretch. So 10 bucks an hour is not that much.
Also, like I said I only charge for work that is approved by the person who is paying.
