Ah thank's, that helps.
Well, the clients seems rather "new" in the 3d field. (nothing like
Lionsgate, or big studio) So I'm not sure how they'll react to the range
of price.
Thank's a lot for your examples :)

I remember doing a commercial for a studio here (eastern europe),
and we outsourced a horse model to a friend of mine who now happens to
work at lionhead. Point was, it took him 3 days, i recall, to do it,
and it cost 1000 euros.
And that was 4 or 5 years ago, and it wasn't considered that
expensive, and we're talking eastern europe here. Don't know if the
prices have changed that much since then in the modelling area, but i
thought it might be food for thought.
But the guy had an impressive portfolio even back then.
On the other hand, i had a friend who recently hired a ubisoft guy
with a rather poor portfolio to model a toycar, and he did it for 400
in 4 days.
Don't know if it matters whether it's cartoony or realistic, but i
think your portfolio will also help dictate the amount of money that
you can or can't charge.

Ok Thank you !
So, 400$ * 4 or 5 days for 1 character is not over-priced
according to you ?

I would then price it per day. 8 hour days.
I charge approx. $400/day (314.2924 euros)

I won't be able to be that precise, as I usualy don't count
in hours.
Thus I think for modelling a 1 character 4 or 5 days is a
maximum.
But, really I'd like someone to give me a price example.
are you usually speaking in hundreds or thousands of euros ?
I don't really know...

I always estimate per hour.
I have found that I can be quite accurate with an hourly
estimate
by breaking down the modeling to it's most basic components.
For example, on a character model, how long to model each eye.
How long to model basic body shape. How long to model hands,
face, expressions (if needed), clothes... you get the idea.
Then, add up all the tasks, and you will have a fairly
accurate estimate.
It takes practice, as my early quotes were not so accurate.
I have
been working in 3D since before Softimage version 1 so I
have gotten more
accurate over the years.

Hi guys,
Now that I'm starting enjoying playing with Ice and
particle stuff, clients are asking for ...modelling job ^^
I realize I never charged separatly for this task alone.
So my question is how much do you (freelance,
homeworkers) charge for 1 character modeling ? (How much
do you keep in your pocket in the end (forget the taxes))
Typicaly, quadrupede / Biped, realistic proportions
anatomy but rather for toon / NPA / stylized rendering
results.
In short, only polygonal modeling, (no Zbrush, no hair)
How much do you cost :)
