Hiring me for a job? Here are my rates for the variety of 3D jobs I can do:
3D sculpting
$60/hr.
+$50 for each additional 1M polys over 20M polys
+$500 for original design
+$500 for matching facial likeness (need proof of acquired rights if use is commercial)
Sculpting is high art, and time depends on factors such as complexity, number of sculpted parts, and level of detail in a sculpt.

3D modeling
$60/hr.
+$50 for each additional unique part over 20 parts
+$500 for complexity (based on number of surfaces/planes in each solid part)
-Include its purpose (e.g. for film, games, XR, 3D printing, etc.)
In modeling, the number of unique, complex parts can add up in working machinery.

UV/texturing
$60/hr.
+$500 for 4K+ resolution/UDIM setup
+$500 for original (non-stock) textures
More complex projects that are seen up close may require higher than standard resolution maps and utilize UDIMs.

3D character animation
$60/hr.
+$50 for each additional movable joint (e.g. multiple limbs, long segmented bodies, hair)
+$500 for rigging (models not set up for animation)
Every additional limb and joint in animation adds time and careful attention to how it interacts with the environment and other parts of a character.

hair/fur grooming
$60/hr.
+$500 for full-body fur groom
Hair and fur grooms require use of more complex features/plugins of Maya or other rendering software, and take time to manually adjust groom splines and tweak things like clumping, curling, and randomness.

compositing
$60/hr.
+$500 for complexity (based on number of connected nodes/layers)
+$1,500 for matchmoving and integration (3D tracking of live footage for integration of CG elements)
Matchmoving involves use of sophisticated software that tracks movement of elements in live footage and outputs a point cloud for precise alignment of CG elements within the live scene.

3D simulation
$60/hr.
+$50/hr. of simulation time
+$50/hr. of render time
More complex fluid, cloth, and hair dynamics may take hours of simulation and render time.

real-time rendering
$60/hr.
All above fees apply
+$500 for asset optimization
Real-time rendering is a growing discipline and assets must be optimized for its use.
