To Bid on your Job:
To properly quote your job I will be asking the following questions:
[ i.e. if you already have a 3D model,and just want an 3D illustration then skip 3D Design, 3D Modeling, and 3D Animation, etc.]
1. 2D/3D Design Work:
A. What do you need designed?
B. Will you need a 3D Model from me or just a design?
C. How many designs do you need?
D. When do you need this design by?
E. Do you require 2D sketches?
2. 3D Modeling Work:
A. Is this a model of an existing design?
aa. Do you have reference materials?
B. Will the model itself need to animate?
C. Is the model one sided or two?
