Managing time effectively as a freelance 3D artist is crucial for productivity and success 1. Create a Schedule: Allocate specific times for different tasks such as client work, personal projects, marketing, and administrative tasks. 2. Prioritize Tasks: Identify the most important tasks and tackle them first. Use techniques like the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. 3. Avoid Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time to maintain productivity and quality. Multitasking can lead to errors and inefficiencies. 4. Take Breaks: Schedule regular breaks to rest and recharge. Stepping away from your work periodically can improve focus and creativity. 5. Break Down Projects: Break down larger projects into smaller tasks or milestones. This makes them more manageable and allows you to track progress effectively. #3DArt #3DModeling #CGI #Blender3D #CreativeProcess #timemanagment #avoidmultitasking #ArtStation #3DDesign #dailytips

🔍 Are you accurately estimating the planned and actual costs of producing art content? I'm sure not always. In my 16 years in 3D art production, I've seen it all—from a seemingly simple monster model with textures for an MMORPG costing $30,000, to a set of muzzle brakes for sci-fi weapons, each costing $3,000-$5,000 and crafted by a single freelancer in just two days. Some freelancers were able to buy homes and new cars by freelancing for just six months to a year. I've also seen an in-house team estimate that one of many characters in their 3D game should cost $3,000-$5,000, while they were unperturbed by a two-month calendar deadline and a quality reference from God of War 2018. 💡 But the pinnacle for me was when I was working simultaneously on two AAA projects for clients from California, USA, and saw something striking—the tasks were so similar that a 3D artist could confuse which project he was working on. Yet, the difference in task valuation was twofold! Currently, I know of one major GaS AA project that uses an outsourced company's staff at a fixed hourly rate. The in-house team likes to nitpick and make minor changes on the fly, which ultimately shows that the average price of one asset—model and textures—is in the range of $20-$40k. However, by simply hiring an experienced specialist, a fixed rate of about $10-$20k per asset can be established. 📊 What prevents such calculations and adjustments in production approach? I don’t know. But I do know something else—that for different types of tasks and projects, different cost estimation methods are needed. Sometimes it's better to use an hourly rate, and sometimes it's worth discussing a fixed price per asset. Also, it might be worthwhile to discuss with an outsourcer or external consultant the possibilities for reducing costs. Very often, people outside the in-house team can offer effective ways to optimize the process. ⏳ However, it's important to remember that by saving on contractors, you are spending the resources of your in-house team—not just money, but also time. #3d #art #production #cost #gamedev #estimates #outsource

Why do I do archvis? Why do I freelance? What's next? It all started decades ago when I fond of photography. I was in love with my film cameras and chemical photo processes, which I learned from my grandfather and father. Then, a decade later, I went digital and became one of the earliest contributors to Shutterstock and Alamy . I was fascinated because I was doing what I loved and got paid for it. I still can remember one of the first $400 sale on Alamy! Then I understood that I can actually create images instead of hunting them. This led me to Cinema4d, 3dsMax and Blender. Archvis freelancing gave me the desired freedom of creativity, communication with some cool people and good income. That wasn't a smooth path, it's never smooth. A lot of marketing work is ahead and I hope for many beautiful houses waiting to be rendered by me! Archvis is the kind of work which gives me power to wake up in the morning, not less then this!

I heard this more than 💯 x 200000 Lakhth times, maybe more, "Aleen, you are multi-tasking?" and.... If that is something, then I am tired. 🐥 My journey revolves in a loop of 3 professions 1 - Designing 2 - Writing 3 - Art And guess what I still trying to break the walls of it and merging it into one. And I failed again! 😖 Yes, I failed I guess, about 200th times to work on it without getting overlapped. But, it didn't worked out. So, am I multi Talented? I guess Yes! 😶 🐤 I do live sketches and canvas paintings, 🐤 I do creative writing for content, individuals, websites, etc, 🐤 AND, I do design structures and interiors for firms, individuals as freelancer too. But, I don't want to put it as MULTI TALENTED. My perspective says it - It's all ONE. Do you agree in being Multi tasking? #designer #architect #contentwriter

Hello, 3d ppl! For the past few weeks I was actively applying for local in-country remote vacancies, some of them didn't answer, ones whо did often hesitated about the interview when learned that I'm not an architect, although vacancies were for 3d-artist role. Then I added the second page to my pdf CV containing the samples from my online portfolio. This drew more attention and some HRs offered test task, which is pretty common here. I completed 3 test tasks for the past 10 days, but didn't get answer, just one confirmation that my image went to their art director for the review. 2 of the 3 companies felt very serious about me and at least they didn't want an actual architect. Some of them put in demand to have an experience with Adobe Substance Painter for archviz and this put a boundary for me of course, although I believe that Corona/Vray material systems are capable to compensate the need of Substance Painter, at least for the exteriors. Ok, let's see what will happen the next week? Image: exterior/landscape design concept and visualization by me
