  1. All the information I'm reading on these threads about CPU vs GPU and Geforce vs GTX vs quadro is really interesting and it's only now, after days of reading through it all am I starting to understand it but I do still have one question....if I only use vray advanced and render with CPU am I wasting my money if I get a GTX770? Should I just get a GeforceXXX as I won't be rendering with GPU? My CPU is i7 and I've 6GB of RAM. Oh and is that 6GB way too low....I read somewhere else on here that 8GB is too low these days. Thanks a million for all the advice on here!
  2. Thanks for replying guys, when I first started out I hadn't a clue how much to charge and so I based my hourly rate on what people were charging on freelance websites but I see now that those rates are much different to the ones you guys are charging. Honestly I think, here in Spain at least, if I put up my price I just wouldn't get any work. If I had steady work at the price I'm charging I'd live quite comfortably. With regards to the London work.....I'll have to have a serious think about it....it's not so much the price that bothers me....I just don't want to be taken advantage of. Plus I don't want to be accused of undervaluing the work we do. I've attached a link below to the image I was talking about...hopefully it works. I think, with regards to London anyway, like Philippe says, I'll have to up my game and then charge more. By the way, websites like this one have helped me to improve my work a lot....so thanks a million!! http://niamhl.wix.com/interiorarchitect3dvisualiser#!portfolio/vstc1=commercial
  3. Hi all, I've only recently properly started working as a freelancer although I've been working with 3D on and off for 6yrs now. Reading this thread I'm completly amazed at the prices people are quoting! I'm Irish, I live in Spain and I work with clients both in Spain and in London. I would say my work is mid-high end.....it's not as good as the stuff people post on this site but it's not crap either. So am I WAY undercharging?? For example, a restaurant interior for a client in London....first visual £250 (GB pounds) and all other visuals of the same interior £80. The entire project (3visuals) might take me about a week taking into account back and forth communication with the client and small adjustments here and there but I'm not working on it for 40hrs, probably about 20-25hrs. Is that way too low or ok?? I do all the modeling, textures, light setup ect. I estimated my hourly rate from freelance websites....what others were charging. On a seperate note....how do you work out how much to charge for render times? If it takes my computer 3hrs to render 1 image how do I charge for those 3hrs?
