Thanks Tom.
To be honest, my concern is not ripping them off. I figure I'll look at
their ****tfolios, and based on what I see there, ask a few of them to
produce samples of several things, with certain constraints. However,
I'm going to want to compensate them for their time fairly. Given that
these are not yet professionals (but that want to be), what would you
think a reasonable fee for making a 50-100 polygon missile, or a 500-1000
polygon ****p would be, (no texturing, just wireframe).
I had figured that the turbosquid models would be underpriced, based as
you said, on their re-salability, but don't want to either overbid (and
run out of cash), or underbid, and lead to starving students wating
catfood in an attempt to get their names on a commercial game.
Dan.
