Strix Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've merged your two boilerhouse lighting threads but moved your cladding question to a new thread as it wasn't answered buried in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMDesign Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 pretty neat stuff Thanks Steve, quite pleased so far. Do you know how much i should be charging for images like these, its the first time Ive done rendering seriously. The client loves the images and wants to use them in promotional merchandise....

stevsmith Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 To be honest I think that if they were just looking for the rendered images only you would have to take into consideration the amount of time you had taken producing accurate working cad drawings to give such an effect. For the final images themselves I would charge about £50 per image. But because of the work and effort to draw them in CAD to produce the renders you would have to take this into account. (this would justify paying more than the £50, so you could end up charging £75-£100) If the drawings are to be used for manufacturing the boiler house I would expect to pay around £15-£18 per hour. You have put alot of work into them, as we can all see. Plus It might be a good idea to concider that you might recieve more work from the client. So you could sell them at a special 1 off price and then submit a going rate to produce any other drawings/renders. That way you wont have to "haggle" the price later on. Keep up the good work though. Oh, another thing. You could ask if you could have your name mentioned with an email link, that way people who see your work could also contact you.

stevsmith Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 For lighting effects you could introduce halogen lamps/lights suspended from the celing and flouresent lights fitted on the walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of that, but wondered how you would show the lamp with the light shining from it? Have you managed to do this anywhere?

To be perfectly honest I dont know the first thing about rendering. My line of work doesn't require it at all. I can do 3d. But you'd be better off giving me a crayon set to colour it in.
