Ok, this is how i got stuff rolling for me.I come from tech line... But dabbed in training and multimedia and design.But i started slowing incorperating 3D into my work,, and letting people see some of my embaressing attempts. Then after some time. Small stuff started coming my way.Guess its all about just letting the people around you know that you dabb in 3D.I used to email my friends and collegues... Personal and fun stuff in 3D,,, just to grab their attention.Sometimes its a real drag to quit work and concerntrate in 3D to get a reel up... So this is how i did it.

As far as freelance jobs,, there is bound to be a thousand and one changes,,, so render out in frames!!! :p Always helps to discuss the terms before starting on one,, cause you might never know when they are feeling you are not the one,, and put you away for someone else. Cheat as much as you can,,, if you dont need to model it,, dont. As long as the final image sells. Oh ya,, dont start loving the look of a character or something,,, that will kill you when someone says scrap this one,, i need something totally different.

Good Luck,
Kumar
