Melbourne C4D Modeller?

[BKK-OZ]

I know I shouldn't do this, but I just wanted my post to stay on the front page for a leeeeetle while longer.

Shame on me.

Any particular reason they need to be based in Australia? This is the internet age after all. ;)

well now, that is a very good question. I guess I see it this way...

The project I need help on is one of my 'arty' endeavours (I don't think it'll pay the bills, but it helps keep me sane -sorta). I want to work with somebody iteratively, I want to 'dialogue' with them, rather than just issue instructions or 'commission' work to support my project.

I guess there are ways that this could be done reasonably cheaply over the wires, e.g. VoIP, electronic conferencing with white-boards for sketching, etc. but I guess I just had this notion in my head that I would like to sit down over a coffee or two and hash out some ideas, you know, sketch on a napkin, point out something and say "...like that!" in the way only being person to person can be.

I guess I want collaboration, and fairly deep collaboration @ that - the person would get credits, etc. and I dunno if that would work as well remotely.

I could be talked into it tho, I think the most important thing is to find the right person, regardless of where they live...

[ODoul]

Good point. Nothing like a little one on one, fer sure.

quite frankly, I don't know if you will find someone who is interseted. You are already defining the projects as your own, meaning -as I read it- that the person would work FOR you, and not on an equal creative basis. And nevertheless you don't seem to be offering a real remunueration ( again from my reading). AND you don't offer an insight as to what projects this might be for . Not much for incentives.
If I had time to spend working on projects on the side, I would invest the time on my own designs, or else I would need something to convince me that working with someone/for someone would be worthwile. Or else a real offer (ie remunerated)

well, yeah it is mine, I am funding it, I have done/will do most of the work and it is something that comes from my own well-spring of creativity. I don't really feel the need to resile from that, I feel perfectly ok with owning it. I guess its the difference between joining a band of equals (which I have done and will continue to do) and getting a backing group together to help me realise a very personal vision. Being in a backing group isn't everybody's cup of tea, but then again, neither is joining a band. Like lots of other people, I like to do both. Just because someone is in a support role doesn't diminish their contribution or mean that they are not collaborating. There are many ways to skin the proverbial.

The bit about "real remuneration" is wrong tho - sorry if I gave anyone that idea. I believe I said "fair but not excessive". The fair bit is just that, I don't want to rip anybody off, I will pay for what I get and work will only start once both/all parties are happy with the arrangment. Its not like I am going to steal somebody's model or anything, I am not holding a gun to their head, if they want to work with me, great, if not, that's OK too.

The "excessive" bit is for my own protection - I am not a person of unlimited means, nor am I fool, so I just wanted to make it clear that this isn't the kind of thing someone could retire on. I also don't see what I am looking for as "working on the side" or not being a "real offer" - its a real gig, I dunno where you got that idea from, sorry if it came from me.

BTW, I have had a fair bit of interest, but in creative endeavours it is always worth taking one's time to make sure that the fit is right for everyone.

Well said BKK, I see no fault in your line of thinking. In all creative endeavors, there is a director and a crew. Just sometimes, they are one in the same.

There are a couple of Australian guys over at C4DCafe (http://www.c4dcafe.com/portal/default.asp) that may fit the bill. At least one of them is from Melbourne as I recall. Might pay to post your request over there as well.

[BKK-OZ]

Thanx for that tip re: the Cafe.

I've gotta few contacts now, but it just so happens I got swamped with work for my 'day job' in the last week, so I've got to get that stuff nailed b4 I can move onto my own work.

Will there ever be enuf hours in the day?

I am thinking of asking for an extra day to be inserted in the week just so I have some time to scratch myself.....
