  1. Well here is a thread with similar concerns - http://forums.cgarchitect.com/6184-future-architectural-visualization.html Written in 2004 And not 'that' much has changed, we arent all doomed yet
  2. Trying to get a .PLN file into Max but cant seem to find a way.. Is there any easy way without having ArchiCad? Alternatively can anyone do me a favour and convert it asap?
  3. IF I was the only supplier for images and they could not go somewhere else, then the implications could be - - Loss of sales of new apartments (people like to see what they are buying) - Not getting the new development or renovation passed council approval process - Not winning the competition
  4. You just need to make a decision.. is it worth it. If the effort is worth what they are paying then I guess you need to suck it up and just deal with it. Otherwise simple explain to them the situation.. explain to them that more revisions will cost an extra fee.. That you will not proceed until that fee has been agreed to and signed off. Be straight up and firm with them. Now this may hurt your relationship and you may lose them as a client, but if they are taking advantage of you then that isn't a great loss. That is where you need to weight up how much they mean as a client. Clients will always try and push the limits and get as much work as cheaply as possible, it needs to be nipped in the butt asap.
  5. Just quote it same as any other job, at a slightly higher price. Say 10% or whatever. In your quote say something along the lines of.. "+10% for tight deadline" This way they will have second thoughts about demanding quick turn around when they know it is not actually needed.
  6. Interesting read.. and yet the majority of the comments are the same as what people are saying these days.. So don't think the industry is in too much trouble
  7. Is it common for people to accept jobs without knowing how to do it? Tracking objects from the air can turn into a real pain and take a lot of time and resources, specially if the footage isn't super smooth.. surely you'd want to know you can for sure do this and have a few goes at doing it before accepting a paid job doing it.
  8. Most places I have worked and usually how i do it is x2 changes per job.. after that changes cost money depending on scale of changes.. I wont charge for simple stuff.
  9. Never give discount to get work.. only give discounts for loyal/repeating clients.. and then only small amounts. As for Quote vs Invoice.. Id be tempted to say that is wrong and probably illegal to try and invoice for more than the quote.. unless the client has broken your terms and conditions. A quote is just that, it is a quote to say how much the work will cost.. you can't go and say "Actually it was 150% more".. if someone tried to do that to me then i'd tell them to piss off and that I wasn't paying more than the original quote. Think about going into a shop and seeing an item for $1000 and then going to checkout and them saying "This is now $1500 because our rent went up".. wont happen, the price is the price. If the client asks for extra work or changes, then you supply them with another quote saying it will cost how ever much extra. I worry about some of the people of this forum with the way they say they run their business or do their work.
  10. In 3DS i usually just use vray camera.. look up the sensor size and lens size to get my 35mm equivalent.. google tells me iPhone 6 is 29mm. Punch 29mm into Vray camera, position in scene basically where person was standing, and fine tune from there.. making sure rendering output is same aspecta/resolution as original photo. Never had a problem yet. As long as the photographer hasn't used a silly mode like panorama or whatever
  11. It is simply giving everything a straight gray material.. no texture, no colour etc.. some people use a lighter gray some use a darker gray, that's personal preference. Materials and textures affect lights in different ways, so it is best to start off by lighting your scene with none of that stuff.
