Questions about 3D jobs

Hi,

Treat the application process like you are applying to a real job. Sell yourself,
What makes you the best person for the job?
Explain how you will do the job and what time it will take
Provide as much of your previous work that is relevant to the job. Show them what you can do

From experience it takes a little bit for clients to select the artist. If there is no contact with you after 24 hours you most likely wont be chosen. Sometimes they take longer but usually they would contact you relatively quickly. There have been case where a few days have passed before a message is received. If they choose to go with someone else the message will change from "not yet selected" to "declined" or "Not selected"

The models he would send you are not yours and you can't use them unless he gives his permission (usually they will let you use the work in your portfolio but not for resale).

Communication is key when it comes to these jobs. Be clear and honest when applying and you'll have a good time. If you don't do a good enough job you probably won't get paid so make sure that you can do it before applying.

Best of luck

Hi onnimra,

Ultimately the client and website decide if the final product is up to scratch. Which makes sense as they have pre-paid the work. CGTrader holds the money and to receive a refund the client will have to got through the website to get it back.

In the majority of cases you will be given more time to produce a better result. However if you are too far off a decent final product come the deadline it is likely that they will want their money back.

Under no circumstance would you produce a satisfactory model and have the client refund it. The website will be in contact with the client, examine the work and decide whether it is fit for purpose.

I wouldn't worry too much about it though. As i said you will most likely be given more time or be paid anyway for your time. In my experience it is very rare to have a job refunded and if that ends up happening the blame typically rests on the modeler as they have failed to produce a satisfactory product. Do a good job and you will be paid

I hope this answers your question,

Joe

The client MUST pre pay the job. There is no way they can select someone without paying beforehand. The money rests with CGTrader before any work is done
