Post Money, money, allways money...
I had honor to interpret one architect's idea on
the AutoCAD canvas with all doors, windows and
glasses, and import it into 3DSMax. *How much* this
work (just drawing) is worth? Use local currency
values, please.

Images: here and here.

So an architect asked you to make this and now you want to know what you should ask for it?
I'm not sure if you mean this, because i'd think you arrange the price before making the effort.

So to me it's rather unclear what you mean, but in case i would understand: i have no idea how much you should ask for it, not really familiar with those things.

Ahh, no. All is finished already, and I got my price for this.

I'm just curious to know prices for these works in other countries.

Did ti make sense?

Yes, i think i understand now, you just wanted to compare the price you got or are going ot get for it (in your country) with prices in england, america, ... . Sounds something for Satsi or Pig, but at least they'll understand what you meant :wink:

It's gunna depend on a load of things. Size of company, time taken to do Job, how well known you are etc. For example, if its a small company, with not much money, they are gunna look for someone who can do it for a smaller price. If the job is going to take a long time, you might want to ask for more money, and if you are just some bum they pulled in off the street, they aint gunna wanna pay you much. So really, all you gotta do is figure out what you got paid in Whatever currency and just guess at what they would add payment for, subtract payment for, or what you can mooch of them by using phoney (or real for that fact) excuses. I mean, I did a database for my dads company, and It fetched me over £100, when personally, I don't think it was worth that much.

Too much stuff went wrong, and i spent way more time on it that i had to, because i was trying to make it to complicated when the answer was right infront of me. Coulda done it in a day if i thought about it.

(on a good note, when the companies auditer came around to look at what ever auditers look at, he commended my database and said more companies should use such databases :D)

i dont know either.

It looks like a pretty complex design.

It might depend on a few things:

1) Whether its concept or final design.
2) How qualified you are (degrees)
3) the buildings value to the company.

It could be a job worth around £3000, or no more than £200.

I think he means the conversion of an existing CAD drawing into 3d, not actually making the CAD drawing itself. Then again, I could be mistaken.

You talk about me? Then, aye, I done all drawing and converting both. These two images are just small fractions of all what was done. I'm dunno if I have (copy)rights to post rendered what's inside. As I see there is not right answers on my question, I'm before decision to move these things form public, with your excuse, of course. :)

Not at all. But, if you think it is pointless for it to exist, I'll not resist.

bah, I don't care if this thing exists. I have probably 800MB to spare. What's a couple kb for this thread, eh?
