What are you charging lately for a 60-second interior flythrough with realistic lighting and soft cloth animations? I’m quoting a March job in NYC using 3ds Max + Corona 10 on a 3090, torn between a $4.5k flat or day rate — curious what’s landing for you recently.
It really depends on the project’s complexity, but I’d lean toward a flat rate if the workflow is clear. Think of it like ordering a pizza — better to know the total upfront than dealing with extra toppings later! What’s the timeline like for your March job?
I think a flat rate is safer for a project like yours, especially in NYC where costs can add up — $4.5k sounds solid if the details are clear, but I’d ensure your scope is well-defined to avoid any surprises. Have you considered discussing options with the client based on their budget?
I’ve found that clearly defining the scope helps avoid any surprises… @emerson_j55, maybe consider a detailed proposal that lays out what’s included — clients often appreciate the transparency. Have you thought about how you’ll handle revisions?
