As Raffaele said, it is a matter of workflow, time, and money balance. For small studios and single freelancers, what is left? Enter the spiral of have to modify their small and efficient pipelines to add more resources to it?
Specially in a market that instead of being able to raise your wages due to inflation, etc, etc. Day after day the budgets are lower and with tighter schedules? But you need to deliver the same quality as that of a big studio. You cannot tell your client "Oh you know. Autodesk killed the software I was using, so I now need instead of 3 days, 5 days and I will need to charge an extra 20% from the last project... " or "Well I can do it in the same 3 days but I will need to hire an additional guy, so it is going to cost you at least 50% more than the last time..." ------------------------------------------------------- Emilio Hernández VFX & 3D animation.
