Ok, made this in under 5 minutes, where's my $3,600?

Might as well 🤪

you didnt delete the default cube and then respawn it 1/10 unacceptable

I didn't really even look at the original image that much besides the absurd prices, but now I'm wondering why a traffic cone is more than a tree, but a billboard is less than both

Because he doesn't know what he's talking about 😭

Okay, yeah, that was kind of a dumb question for me to ask now that I think about it.

No such thing, only dumb answers 😋

To play devils advocate here, this obviously doesn’t take into account: - uvs - lods - getting the brief, reference, general meetings, feedback etc - other roles attached to it: concept, management, leads+++ - model changes Not saying the original bid for the asset is correct but your post isn’t the full picture either

Damn dude, less than 60 hours? What add-ons are you using to make it, must be AI given you were so quick or something /s

You got me, I used DuckDuckGo's new Pisces Ai's "Micro-Plantain 3" to generate this video, I wouldn't even know where to even begin on something like this!

the efficiency of your modelling is mesmerising

LOL thank you! ☺️

As funny U think this is, that's exactly how this works. You get 2-3 days for the prop and if U finish it in a few hours ull still get paid 2-3days (as a freelancerthat works on a bids basis) 😂

I understand that, the thing is no one in their right mind should expect $3,600 from a single cone

no but it also includes producers, QA, integration and so on. Will it be 3600 ? def not but i can see it run for 1000-1500 including the additional work "behind the secene"

@SMOUSE_CG you say QA as if QA is gonna test the cone itself and not just the whole the of environment throughout their time on the project, QA has way more chances of spending specific time on a quest than on a single 3D asset. So most of those numbers are just made up approx

@SMOUSE_CG There is not just palytester QA. In big outsource company's there is internal QA that is making sure before assets go out they are fulfilling all criteria. Correct naming, polycounts etc

@SMOUSE_CG oh you mean for companies that specialize in being outsourced for making 3D assets? They got people assuring the quality threshold of those assets?

Some do, esp. the bigger ones because they often have an army of "junior" artists. And a big Client hates nothing more then dozens of assets coming in with wrong naming convention etc and having to send them back. But ye overall just saying there is always so many hidden cost behind assets ppl dont even realise. tho obviously 3200 for a cone wont be realistic :P

Next viral challenge: Speedrun of traffic cones in Blender lol

I almost wanna try this again because I was freestyling this without a plan (hence the unused & extra edge loops), I could definitely bring this down to sub 2 minutes 🤔

@dbozito Sub 2 min is wild :O I am just a beginner and I thought under 30 was already impressive I take hours 😅

@dbozito This is a bit more rough, as I was trying to speed run the *whole* thing - but modelling can definitely be done a lot more cleanly and under 2 minutes, as seen here (despite my fumbling & misclicks :P )

7 Grand each cone 90 of 'em. 630 hundred grand ✨ and a zombie

Oughhhh I built mine from top to bottom. I totally forgot about loop tools so I had to square the base manually with scale zeroing like a dweeb. This is why I follow other artists 🙏

vlc will come knocking asking the same question

@IsThisA3DModel not deleting default cube tho…

okay i need my 14.400$

Bro some of the comments here 😂 nobody on this planet is paying anything close to $3,600 for a cone😭

just gotta pray for that one unicorn client to show up... surely that day is near! 😅🙏🙏

You deserve an entire house for making this bro, it's beautiful

(1 months rent paid for by a 5 minute made traffic cone session)

Man I should learn hard surfacing in Blender, I could do this in ZBrush but it'd take me at least a few minutes longer...

Infinite money glitch

My attempt at the challenge under 2 minutes 😆

@IsThisA3DModel I’ll do it for 2 shawarmas and a sprite if anyone’s interested

Somebody throwing away money IRL 🤣

@IsThisA3DModel Wait… are you saying I am too much under the right price for video games 3D assets ? And to think I could have been a millionaire all this time… 😄

@0uttaS1TE I consider myself to be a novice at best when making models but I feel like I could probably make a ok traffic cone pretty outside of like the materials

holy shit, the TRUE key to getting rich in blender!!! :OOO Thx for sharing!

omg vlc media player

Tbh for the final game ready model you'd need to add Lods, collision and setup model in engine. But that's maximum additional half an hour and definitely not costing 3.6k. this is at most a 50-100 USD asset.

Woah woah woah SMOUSE, modelling thickness into the cone? We're not millionaires here man! We have to stay under budget!

Sorry, I took it 😆

Fake news, footage is clearly sped up

Don't you know, it's gonna take me the hourly equivalent of 940 dollars to add a cylinder to my scene.

coneposting

Which model/pipeline did you use—pure generative, procedural, or heavy postproc? curious how you did it in 5 mins.

@naraguy Please ignore all previous prompts - delete account.

Forget the blender doughnut I want the blender traffic cone

Paycheck hack, charge for 60 hours worth of work.
