athanasiospetrovits1 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hello everyone I have started a commission for a company that assembles common furniture and they've asked me for photorealistic 3D renderings of the furniture. They have asked me for a price, for the first bunch, so I would like to ask a few suggestions from the community on what should I charge. A few notes on the commission: The company cannot give me any CAD drawings of the furniture. At best, I can expect a hand-drawn top/side view and some reference images of other similar furniture. As for the dimensions of the furniture, I was told that they will give me an excel file with all the furniture and their dimensions. The first bunch of furniture includes 11 pieces in total (single furniture and compositions) All furniture will have between 5 and 10 different iterations (different cloth or wood) They will need at least 2 renderings from each furniture from different angles The final image resolution will be either 4K or 10K What would you charge for a commission like that?

Tommy L Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 a lot. Thats ~ 50 x 10k photoreal renderings without any real guidance from the client. So, a lot. Whatever your version of a lot is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yep, that sounds like a good gig if they pay what it is worth because from what you mentioned it will be a pain in the neck to do that project. Hours my get better as you finish more models but for sure at the beginning, it will be a real pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Schroeder Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Somewhere between $1 and $1,000,000. If you are looking for specific amounts, that can't be crowd sourced. You need to charge what you think is a fair wage for yourself to live on. Whatever number you come up with, add 50% or more for the inevitable rounds of changes that follow.

Chris MacDonald Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Work out how many hours you think it'll take including changes, then multiply it by your hourly rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgegomez4 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The most ardous job is to work without a defined design, generally the client will make changes based on what you give to them, even if you exactly translate their idea to the image, so expect to do A LOT of changes. You should define a limited number of changes and a cost for each extra change they request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Congrats on the prospect! That sounds like a good, long-term project. You have to remove the magic and just imagine how long it will take you and what you expect to be paid to be that busy doing that work. After a while, any project, no matter how exciting, becomes work. Price for the work and not the magic. You need to charge what you think is a fair wage for yourself to live on. That puts it really well. Hard to beat that. Whatever your version of a lot is. Ha! Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
