OT - Freelancing (in 3D)

Hi brothers of the nurbs watch (yes I'm watching game of thrones and It's a really bad joke...)

I'm leaving the agency where I worked for the past two years for many reasons.
There I've used MoI3D extensively and I wonder how the next one will do if he don't use it also (because trust me, they want precise stuff done in no time)

I'm creating this thread to discuss with you about everything related to freelancing and specifically in 3D (modeling, rendering, animations, interior design, point of sale and so on)

I'd love to here from those of you that are freelancer or that have been in the past, how did you started and why?

I've made a list of questions that can start new discussions:

- How much do you charge (for modeling alone, for modeling + rendering) and so on. Is it based on the difficulty or the type of task?
- How do you handle files? Do you have a network storage and you work on it (bandwidth isn't limiting?)
- How do you deliver files? Do clients ask you about sources files sometimes?
- What type of job do you refuse and why?
- How do you deal with jobs too hard for you technically? Do you outsource?

I'll share some of my learnings of the past two years as well.

Cheers,
Sam
