We have had a very good response in the freelance job and I wish to thank you all.

For everyone that is looking at this post for the first time, from today the 25th November 11:00am GMT we are sorry to say that we have to stop taken photos for now whilst we calculate and see how many images we have. Anyone that has replied to this freelance position before this date can still submit photos.

Though this post is still active we want to keep it open just incase we require more photos. So please check back soon

We are looking for photographers to take and send in photos of architectural features and surfaces. What we are interested in is a variety of varying surfaces some of which can be tiled to make textures. Please bear in mind whilst taking these photos that they will be used as textures so the subject matter has to take up the majority or in some cases all of the frame.

We have included a set of guidelines to follow in order to produce photos that conform to a required standard and format that will help you avoid common problems apparent with much source material.
Please follow this link to find the guidelines (http://67.15.36.49/forum/ttex_job/ttex_job.asp) :

The kinds of subject matter we are after fall under the following categories :

Subjects
1. Walls - stonework, brick, plaster, tiled, concrete etc. As many types as possible really.

2. Doors / gates- these can include metal and wood and can be of any type and age including industrial gates and residential types - We do not want any that include glass panels. ( try to fill the frame with as much of the door as possible in this case )

3. Floor surfaces - these can include almost anything including paving, (stone and brickwork ) road surfaces, cobblestones, pathways, tiles and wooden flooring - all are wanted and we are interested in both new and old, clean and dirty but avoid any graffitti ! You may include indoor and outdoor sufaces here.

4. Fencing - this can include any type of fencing or boundary structure made fron any material but we do not want railings.

5. Window shutters and screens - anything that can be used to place in front of a window basically.
All of the above subjects can be of any material

6. Stone and wood carvings that are restricted to walls or panelling such as friezes, temple walls etc.

7. Also we would like to expand on our tree collection so any photos of trees and flowers would be useful. When photographing these they need to be in front of as plain a background as possible ( easier to cut out )with the entire tree in the frame and with it all in focus. There should be no strong lighting with shadows. Any kind of tree is welcome, deciduous, coniferous, palms etc.

Payment
We will pay $4 for each photo used using PayPal as we have found in the past this it the easiest and quickest way of paying people, so you will need to have a PayPal account as this is the only way we will be paying people.

Sending in images
You can take and send as many pictures that you think are suitable but we will only be selecting and paying for the ones that are best for us. Sending in these images, you are best of sending in reduced size version of around 640x480 of the photos and sending them to Rich. For sending in the chosen images we will supply you with an ftp address to where you and upload them to. If you have a slow interent connection then we will supply you with a postal address. We also require the images to be of as high a resolution as possible and ideally no smaller than around 1024*1024.

The deadline for this has not been set but we are looking for it to continue into next year for a few months.


Please send all the photos to Rich using this email address rich@3dtotal.com
using the subject matter "Freelance Textures"

Thanks for reading and happy snapping :)

It is a good proposal no dought but there is a problem I think. I take pictures at the resoulution of 8 megapixel. If I want to send about 50 pictures the total size will exit at least 250 MB. For me it is really boring thing to spend hours in attaching those pictures to mail. Is there any other way like burning those on a cd and post it to you? I got some other questions as well. What is the last date of sending them? If any of my photographys is selected then when and how we are going to paid?

Hi proteek

Thanks for showing interest in this freelance job offer. If you are interested in taking some photos for us then all you have to do is state your interest to Rich using the email address that has been given and he will send to you all the details about how to send them.

But here is something to answer your questions. For people that are sending in alot of images its probably best if you send reduced size images (i will add this to the brief after this reply) around 640 x 480 this way the files sizes are really low and then we can choose which ones we would like. Sending in the final versions of the photos that we have chosen, we will supply you with an ftp address where you can upload them to. If you have a slow internet connection will will give you a postal address to where you can post them to.

As for the closing date we have no set date but this will run for a couple of months into the new year.

For payment we will be using paypal so you will need to have a paypal account as we have found out in the past this is the best and the quickest way of paying people.

Thanks again and if you have any more questions please contact us

$4 dollars a photo? hmmm.... sounds a little third-world? If I spend all week collecting 100 textures AND uploading them to you (as proteek says that's about half a gigabyte - provided they're compressed pretty heavily with jpeg loss compression) AND (in the unlikely event) ALL 100 are chosen I'll get £200 and presumeably lose all rights to the images...

I know there was a job handing out leaflets for £4 per 100 and it was investigated, sued and shut down as 'freelance' work breaking the terms of the minimum wage 'reasonable earnings' clause...

I guess you should just make sure your stats tally up and that you aren't ripping people off...

Hi Chrisp-3DT

Thanks for ur kind respond. I am going to follow ur instructions, but I think that yesterday I saw the amount of payment was 4 pound not $4. I might be wrong. Another thing is that as 'defwind77' said “presumeably lose all rights to the images...” is that true?

Hey, I saw the freelance , and I would like to take pictures and work with you, the only problem I have is that I cant get a paypall account, because my country (Romania) is not on the list. What should I do, are theer any other payment ways?

Your reply sounds just like you are trying to make a nice oportunity for people sound bad, you start by giving the example of 'spending a week to take 100 photographs' why dont you just spend 3 or 4 hours to take 100 photos. As you can see your reasoning is totally flawed in the first two lines nevermind about the rest of your comments.

Rather than asking us to make sure our 'stats tally up and that we aren't ripping people off' why dont you ask yourself 'why dont i read things properly, think about them and post sensible replies' instead

Apologies Tom if you've taken offense at my comments.

But I feel they are totally justified. In terms of me reading properly and 'understanding' I feel I've simply taken the comments for what they are and if possible, I'd ask that you consider my comments a little more carefully rather than taking offense.

As you feel I haven't read your stats - I'll accomodate your 'stats' as you say - so you feel you can take 100 photos in 3-4 hours that would be included - that would mean that for your average texture collection - take your pick from Total Textures it'd take you less than a day to collect all the texture required?

Let's break it down and say there's an average of 200 textures per collection? Is that fair?

Of course a lot are just the same texture with a different hue/design/pattern etc (no offense intended by that - I think it's very useful!) but in reality there's an absolute maximum of, say, 150 textures that have actually been photographed.

So what you're saying, by these 'stats', is that it took you 5-6 hours to photograph all the textures you needed to make each cd?

Let's be pessimistic, as my stats may be not negative enough. Let's DOUBLE it and say it took you 10-12 hours to collect ALL the photos you needed to make a texture cd?

I think you know as much as the next guy (in fact no doubt having photographed the textures yourself at some point) then you know that it is totally unreasonable to expect 3-4 hours work to produce 100 textures, let alone 100 textures that you guys will be mad not to include and pay for!

AND that's assuming that EVERY photo I take is accepted - again, something I think is highly unlikely and if anything only a tiny fraction would get accepted...

I'm sorry if you consider my response 'silly' and that you take offense at my questions and queries - I simply feel your offer is not more than a 'pocket money' rather than a job. If I have been taking textures all day I'm happy to simply use them myself in my own collection and - though I haven't had a direct response to the question asked by both myself and proteek - I assume I would lose rights to the original image?!

If image rights were maintained and 3dtotal simply was buying the rights to use the original then that'd be worth considering - as I have said if I am collecting texture photos for a project, then if I can earn a little pocket money without losing the ability to use all the best ones, that that makes sense!

I doubt your comments regarding spending 3-4 hours collecting them - if there was any truth then I doubt you'd be paying other people to do it when you could spend 3-4 hours each - that's 100 textures each - your site says there's 18ish of you around the world full-time/freelance etc... - so that means you'll have 1800 textures by the end of lunch! Why ever do you need anyone else to collect them for you!?

As I said I feel a more considered response would be appreciated - I feel you sounded more like you were having a rant more than answering my questions rationally. My questions are genuine and I think it's a good idea, but I think it would benefit from clearer explanation of what 'giving you a texture' entails legally, the real reality of turn-around and, as I've already said, just checking your stats to make sure you don't rip people off - that isn't meant to imply you are trying to - it's simply that if someone spends a week photographing 100 textures and you decide you'll take one and give them $4 then you might get people annoyed...

On the upside - ChrisP sent a very helpful and 'calmer' PM response - which I hope he won't mind me posting here for the benefit of other people interested in the posting - he too appears to consider it a 'part time' pocket money job with a lower earnings, rather than a job offer...

Sorry for the late reply.

We know that $4 payment is not much but it is per photo. We havent said that you should spend a whole week doing it and we havent said that you have to send in a 100 photos, so to match what you have said, you could spend 1 hour and have taken about 10 to 20 photos. At $4 dollars per photos, thats about $80 dollars an hour wage, which to be fare is a good salery and it also not very hard work. As for sending them im you could upload them but we have also said that you can post them to us by putting them on a CD.

We have tried to aim this for people to do in there spare time not as a full time job.

Thanks for responding to this position. I hope you are willing to take part.

Chrisp-3dt



So if possible could you tell me:

1) If I send you 100 textures and you use all 100 - will I lose all rights to the images?
2) If I send you 100 textures what's the realistic number that you will use?
3) How many textures are you planning to use in total for your CD?

Thanks again, and sorry for any offense taken!

Tom-3DT

Hi Defwind77, here are the answers to your questions :-

1) If I send you 100 textures and you use all 100 - will I lose all rights to the images?
Yes you do, if we buy the images off you, the rights become ours

2) If I send you 100 textures what's the realistic number that you will use?
I am unable to answer this, it depends on a lot of factors mostly on the quality of your images and if they are different to ones other photographers have sent in. I would guess from when we did this before a year or so ago we used about 30% in a lot of cases - more if they are original and of good quality.

3) How many textures are you planning to use in total for your CD?
Again it depends on time factors budgets etc, of the existing CD some have 150 others have over 400.

If you want to regard this project as 'some extra pocket money' that is totally fine by us, it's a good description actually, just going out for the afternoon with your digital camera and snapping some shots in your local area. We hope it is enjoyable for you guys and its nice for us to get some shots from all over the world to add some nice variation to our CDs. Please dont take it too seriously, we just want people to have some snapping fun and as you say make a bit of extra cash. It sounds like you are after something more significant and so I dont think this job is for you. Hope you find something more suitable, all the best, Tom

sounds wicked to me ! I'm out around taking shots for my photography class anyways. What an opportunity!

Fork
22-11-2005, 12:40 AM
Sounds good to me, but there's one thing on which I'd like some clarification.

What kind of rights are we talking about? Is there a certain time frame, in which you are allowed to use the images, or is it forever? Or are we talking exclusive rights, even? In the latter case, $4 really isn't much.

Forgive me if I sound cynical, but I'd just like some more information, before committing myself.

Hi im a Freelance photographer based in the uk and i would be interested in this position, i myself use a Nikon D100 with a wide range of lens's and lighting equipment. I can also provide high quality images over a fast connection as im on a 2mb line, so there would be no need for postal.

One thing im not to sure on is the pay, i have done a few low budget jobs similar to this and they were charging about 10 pounds per image. I think if you want high quality textures from all the top notch photographers they would require better pay.

If you would like to check out some of my work please go to, My work (http://aden-photo.deviantart.com/store)

I'd be up for it, though, with high compression, wouldn't there be some bad loss?

and is it allright to send in old photos that we haven't used so far? if so, are we allowed to use them afterwards (for personal projects only, not anything paid)

though, i'll have to get a paypal account for this.

22-11-2005, 01:36 AM

A couple of other questions that are not yet covered are :-

High compression, Im not sure where this is stated but we actually want them with none or very minimal compression, sorry about this confusion.

Paypal account can be obtained at www.paypal.com

Thanks, Tom

Hi Guys...this is a great idea. I dont want to open any wounds here or rattle anyones cages but im a little confused over the rights here.

Assume im a journalist....i walk into a corner shop and buy a rival magazine. the next monte i print a load of articles from the magazine in the one i work for, passing them off as my own. peacemeal. but thats ok ive bought the magazine so i own the rights....???!?!?!!

I would love to send you guys some pics..in fact i have a stash ive taken for personal use you are more the welcome to them. If you want to bung me $4 (do you mean 4$ or £4 coz $1 is currently around 58p which is £2.38 a pic)

uggg....this could get ugly. ill shut up.

Heres my personal view:

i end u pics ....u choose what u want...u send ($4 or £2.38) per pic

then...now heres the clever bit....some where in the resulting retail cd there is somesort of list...."Thanks to the following 3dtforum members..without there help..blah blah"

You with me??

Horay!!

Thx guys..I will be sending you pics becuase aside from all this its actually fun, i enjoy it, and if some bloke on the other side of the planet ends up buying th cd and creating something nice out of it then im happy. theres a little piece of me in that there 3d image.

Its all about the art guys....money is just a nice bonus!

22-11-2005, 10:18 AM
I dont think in the magazine there is any fine print about selling you the rights to those images. In this case you are agreeing to sell them the rights.

Would a 5.1 Megapixel Digicam be ok for this kinda stuff? They bring in photos of around 2500 x 1900.. so Im assuming yes? I might give this a shot :halo:

hi there ChrisP. this thread is really a great proposal.i just got interested when i read about this thread. i would love to take this opportunity and take pictures. it would be a great time. PayPal?it not yet available here in the philippines.:(
but anyway this is really a good opportunity for me. hoping to send pictures asap. :)

dark-elf
22-11-2005, 10:48 AM
hey everyone
well sounds like a fun idea
just thinking wouldnt u have to alter the images slightly to make them tile better etc
i think the rule is if they are 3% differant than the copyright belongs to you guys
so if you alter the images that much then would we still be able to use the originals in our work or if we altered them slightly ourselves?

just woundering
anyway sounds like a good way to make some money on the side
thanks, dark-elf

Hi All

Thanks for such a good response to this post. The one question that seems to be cropping up is the rights to these photos so im gonna try and clear this issue up. This position is asking for people to just take photos for us, which will then be made into textures by our inhouse artist (me). The subjects that we are asking you to take are things like bark, tiles and brick walls to name a few. We will be paying you $4 for each photo that we choose. So by buying these photos off you we are also buying the rights as this is commissioned . If you are worried about losing the rights to your snaps of brick walls etc then this job isn't for you!

I would also like for each person take part in this oppertunity to email Rich saying that you will be taking photos for us.

Thanks again and if you have any more question please dont hesitate to ask.

Í'm very interested in this. I'm just wondering how much € 4$ is. Can anyone tell? The second thing I was worriying about was the use of Paypal. How secure it is etc. However, the website of my bank (Rabobank in the Netherlands) says its a secure method to use so I guess that one is ok :).

But, how much €???

alima
22-11-2005, 06:00 PM
Please, I have a question:

this pictures, should be like "repetition texture", should be adjust in a photoeditor or can be a simple picture, but good picture...?

sorry my english!

Alessandro Lima

Chrisp-3DT
22-11-2005, 06:23 PM
Hi Nukie

$4 is about EUR 3.40 give or take and PayPal is a very secure and easy way or paying that is why we are only using this method

alima - The photos need to have as much of the subject matter in as possible so for instance if your taking a picture of a door or window then try and get the whole window/door to fill the frame. For taking pictures of walls if you aim to take as much of it as possible, so 10 - 15 bricks high and around the same in width that will be fine.

If you need anything else give rich and email using thiis email address rich@3dtotal.com

thanks again

Hi everyone.
Think I am able to do several pictures for you.

Beside us there is much qualitative textures in metallurgical shop.
Much beautiful rusty metals, there is brickworks both for sewer, and for metallurgical stoves. Possible they are useful you.
Possible else do the picture melt.

Report as possible you to send CD disk if will much pictures.
Respectfully yours GRA*FX.

22-11-2005, 07:55 PM
Hello Grafx,
Photos of the subject matter you have listed do sound interesting and as long as the images conform to the guidelines in the link at the top of this thread then I'm sure we would be able to use them. Please send as many as you wish but in a reduced and compressed format first and then if there are any we wish to purchase we can ask you for the full size versions later.
Please send images and contact me directly at
rich@3dtotal.com
Many thanks,
Rich.

wots the guarantee that u will pay us for all the pics u have used from us..

If do not get payed for all of the photos they have accepted. Then just contact them and complain.

I've seen many different questions. One that repeatdaly comes up if its 4 pounds or 4 U.S. dollars. Or how much is a dollar in pounds. If you all would read over the whole thread all of your questions would be answered. I just took 5 mins to read over this thread and I found out everything that needs to be.

this pictures, should be like "repetition texture", should be adjust in a photoeditor or can be a simple picture, but good picture...?

Usually repetetive textures do not look very realistic. Your eye catches it very easily. I would say just a regular photo

Nukie, infact paypal is very secure. I have used it a few times before and everything gos through fantastically.

just thinking wouldnt u have to alter the images slightly to make them tile better etc
i think the rule is if they are 3% differant than the copyright belongs to you guys
so if you alter the images that much then would we still be able to use the originals in our work or if we altered them slightly ourselves?

It doesn't really work that way. If you own he rights to something, you own it. If you just change it a bit does not make it yours.If I took a book I wrote and got published ( i'm no writer)...took a bought version, and ripped out a page...it still doesn't mean the copyright is gone and it belongs to me.

All of you guys who have some doubts, I woul say go for it if you have a camera. I mean...I for one wouldn't really care if I dind't get payed for it. This is a wonderful site they have going and I would lvoe to support it. ( to bad I have no camera :-p).

22-11-2005, 09:44 PM
One question about paypall. How is the payments made with it? Do I receive cash via mail or do I need to have credit card its paid upon? If latter, I couldn't get use of it cause due to weird regulations, I can't get credit card : )

22-11-2005, 11:23 PM

If you have an american bank account its free to withdraw money form paypal. For UK you pay 25p charge for less then £50..anything over £50 is free.

hi all

I would like to thank jdgill and LostBear for your help in answering some of these questions.

The brief as said does go through what we are after and it does answer a lot of question if you read it carefully.

Hi Rockyj123. This is not the first time that we have run a freelance job like this, and it ran very well and everyone was paid on time and was very happy. That the beauty of PayPal is that you get the payment the same day.

23-11-2005, 11:40 PM
i'll try to find some good shots this weekend. hope i can meet the standards.
ps: if these pictures are used for say the total texture dvd's, is there a refference to the photographer or does he/she loose all rights to the pictures? (i would be happy to sign off the rights, if i just had a little refference like photographed by... that's all).

jdgill
23-11-2005, 11:51 PM
Limion, a reference to the photographer doesn't mean she or he keeps the rights. When they buy the photo from you all the rights will belong to them, but its more than possible to be generous and do so with the mentions.

Hi there, im very interested in subbmitting some photographs for, as you made reference to earlier "some extra pocket money" ^_^

Just a couple of questions however, when would you like the photographs submitted by? I assume asap, but just wondering if there is a final deadline. Also, i only have a 1megapixel camera, will this suffice?

I love your total texture CDs, although ive not got round to buying them yet :P and would love to help out.

Cheers

Hi Diablobasher.

To answer your questions the deadline for sending in photos is basically send them in once you have taken them. The overall deadline is not set but the post will be taken down from this job posting forum as soon as we feel that we have enough people taking photos.This is also why i have asked in another post to all people that are interested in taking photos to email Rich to tell him that you are interested so that he can create a spreed sheet with all the peoples names.

As for a 1megapixel camera, i think that the images wont hit the required size that we have asked for which is no smaller than around 1024x1024. I might be wrong, I have never used a 1megapixel camera so i dont know the top output is. If you can reach this size and the images are nice and crisp and blur free then we would be happy to see them.

I must also say to everyone that PLEASE can you send Rich an email saying that you will be taking photographs

Thanks again

Hi Kreuzritter.

No you dont need to correct any of your photos just send the reduced sized photos as they are. Once you have sent them to Rich he will go through and chek each one and then he will let you know which ones he would like and give you an ftp address to where you can upload them.

Thanks

Did some research, 1 megapixel can get something like 1156 x 860, so i cant do 1024 x 1024 images, but i may have access to a 6.1 megapixel camera, i will use that one instead.

Actually that would probaly be great for this in my opinion. Everyone has their own environment they live in. Yours is snowy at the moment. That would be great and add lots of variety. Consider it less f a prblem and more of an oppurtunity. Maybe other people won't send in man snow textures making it more likely for your photos to get it ;). You never know. Start exposing some exposures ;) :)

Hi

Thanks for posting your question. I am sorry but we have stopped taking in photos at the moment whilst we wait to see how many we have sent to us. If we need more photos we will link it from the front page. This is the reason why we have left this thread open just incase we need more photos.

Thanks

Terribly sorry, ive had a few hardware issues over the past week, which resulted monday in losing most of the photos i was going to send you, and a lot of my college/personal work :\ Ive only just managed to get back online.

I apologize again for this, but it sounds like you have enough photos as it is :) im sure I can find a use for the few i have left over :)
