Not! I read a blog today at Dt " What do you like most about DREAMSTIME? ". People are saluting this site, and many seems to be exclusive. Nothing against Dt at all exept lack of sales, but what I read in the blog is beyond my understanding. Exclusive at Dt?  Can anyone please shed some light on this mystery? Id cut my earnings 20 times if I dropped the rest

Maybe this one.. http://www.cheetah3d.com/When you pose a 3d toon you need to rigg it with something to control it with. (search for character rigging ) Otherwise you have to pull and squeeze the mesh til you go crazy. The good thing is you dont have to draw a new one for each pose. Its not even close to working with illustrator. Its like comparing hieroglyphs with a Flatscreen:)

The picture below has 2 identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at St. Mary's Hospital..  Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical; a person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins. The more differences a person finds between the dolphins, the more stress that person is experiencing. Look at the photograph and if you find more than one or two differences you may want to take a vacation. This came from: http://radiomankc.blogspot.com/

the other photos at the website are way more impressive..
Id say so too, three years ago. Now I know how much it takes to make organic stuff photorealistic. Cars are simple to make in comparison.

Impressive renders. The hair on the girl is pretty much a give-away that it is 3D; hair is the hardest thing in 3D. The curls have that 3-D look.
I thought that the hard surface models, especially the motorcycles, were the most photo-real.
Indeed, although dead shiny things are pretty easy to do, maybe just time consuming. Im impressed by the soft skin and body hair on this woman in closeup. It didnt believed my eyes til I saw the wireframe. The hair is pretty bad though as u mentioned.

Thats a from paragraph in the contract about me having insurances about damages that may occur while working for them, or something.
If I edit a photo for them, and fall back on my chair crushing a shoulder as an example, I need insurance against bodily injuries and property damage covering no less than $2000000 in a combined single limit.
Thats not possible to get in Sweden:)
Ofcourse Ive got insurances, but would never get new ones for a single job...
I guess I got the American version of the contract:)

Deal closed now and money on the bank. I took bits and pieces from the contracts I got from friends here and some I found out myself. Tiny easy to read contract. Customer must be pleased to not get a giant contract.
So much for that though...They send ME a two pages contract with amounts of $1000000 here and there. working conditions bla bla. I breathed heavy one time and signed it  USA...
I obviously haven't seen the contract etc but be warned sometimes you get ahead by not making a sale.
Not ? Ive got the money already, Or what do you mean?

I sent you a sitemail here. Found the Word doc and can email to you. You will have to do some customizing, as my contract was not for transferring copyright.
Oh, thanks. Well Im not planning to transfer copyright. They are only gonna get full rights to it.
Thanks again for the doc.
I actually got
a few now from nice members. Well see wich one I use 
At some level it amounts to the same thing as far as future earnings go. Is that full rights for ever?
It is full rights forever, yes. And I might have earned more in microstock over a few years, but it could also be nothing. Who knows?? But I have enough similar images uploaded already, so this is nothing to think about...

Hi Magnum,
That was very well handled. Others on this site would have thrown a lot of money away with their philosophy, Bravo for playing the game so well.
Best,
Jonathan
Thank you:)

I thought these things happend every day. Apparently not:)
It seems I will get $2000 for a customized wood sign similar to the Istock photo. They will get full right to it, exept to resell it as a photo.
I hope Cclapper got a word doc that I can make some changes to and Im ready to proceed. I feel no need to make it any harder.
They can use the photo for all eternity and Im happy with it. What could happen? I mean we sell photos for .25 that all ends up on heroturk. Can it be worse?
Thanks for all help
Make sure you get your money before sending them the full res version. Sometimes it's hard to get them to pay up after the fact. Keep that in mind.
This relates to what is call the call girl principle which states that the value of a service declines after that service has been performed.
Haha, Yeah sometimes (mostly men) does things they regret exactly the same second theyre ready. Its like 99% of their brain all of a sudden returns and realizes: What was that good for... Hopefully since this is gonna be their company logo, they wont regret it in a rush

Attach the low res with the invoice for their approval. if they don't like it then they don't have to pay the invoice. You might want to put somekind of watermark on the low res. I assume you have a paypal account. It shouldn't take anymore than 24 hours for it to clear unless there are certain circumstances. Once payment is received by paypal you should get an e-mail from them showing that the money went into your paypal account.
Good idea, and I guess I can have the contract on the invoice as well. If they pay they agree to it? Would this be ok?

Definitely money first... How fast is paypal? They need it by tuesday. Im gonna present a low res on sunday/monday. Or they mail me a receipt that the money is on the way?? I suck at this. I should make woodsigns instead
