@willking @ianzelbo @futureform_ @Tesla appreciate you looking out for me, Will! i wouldn’t be a good fit though because I don’t do this type of 3d work unfortunately

@ianzelbo @futureform_ @Tesla You're looking for @ermanmalak

My team at @Tesla is hiring a talented 3D generalist to help build the Tesla App! Looking for a strong portfolio of 3d art, experience with game engines, and an eye for design You’ll get to ship to real customers, build cool stuff, and work closely with me

@mister_gamaliel epic piece, no other way to put it

High 5 to the hustlers

@FreeezerWorks glad we’re on the same page

@ermanmalak 100% Agree

of course, and that’s up to your contractors to accept or reject maybe the seo field is different, but coming from design, it’s definitely not the norm and since the author of this tweet was talking about designers specifically, i just thought it was bad advice because no one operates like that, and shouldn’t, in our industry

The market is free. You do what you want. Some accept it, others don't And I’m far from having a trust issue. I ran an SEO agency for 13 years and I always sent invoices several months after the end of a project. This allowed me to retain many clients who continued working with us for years, because large companies are always operating on a tight cash flow I only had 2 clients out of more than 300 who didn't pay us. One went bankrupt right after, the other ended up in court and he paid There are laws in place to protect service providers

Im never hiring ppl from X again 💀 Tried hiring motion designer for a video for a 30s video > Found someone on X who shared nice videos > Slightly more $$ as other quotes I received, but portfolio looked good > I want to be easy to work with, so I pay in advance, no hard deadline, trusted him to do its job properly Result: >0 communication, have to babysit every little thing >garbage result I can't use > ok maybe instructions not clear enough? > Sent exact mockup of what I needed > Still didn't follow what I asked for 💀 Lesson learned lol, I'll use Fiverr/Upwork next time The bar is so low, why can't people just do what they paid for? How do you find people who can actually do their job and follow instructions? 🥲

@silkarthouse @deekaymotion @JustinGilanyi the content i didn’t know i needed today definitely giving this a watch

Silk Podcast Episode 2: @deekaymotion with @justingilanyi In our second episode, DeeKay talks us through the development of his practice from early drawing through to his current work across animation and character-based systems. We reflect on his approach to storytelling through recurring characters, and how these figures carry themes of work, relationships, and other everyday life things. Streaming links 👇

payment after delivery being a non-negotiable is the biggest red flag and tells me you have trust issues and probably won’t be a good collaborator i’m a freelancer and i’ve never heard of that in any of my client meetings, and if i did, i’d politely part ways without negotiating

@nico_jeannen Paying upfront with no deadline is the cheat code for getting ghosted, learned that one the hard way too... From now on, for every contract, I always pay after delivery. Non-negotiable

@robably__ @nico_jeannen ↑ ↑ ↑

@nico_jeannen im just sayin x.com/igarakii/statu…

@jail0r1 nailed it with the low fps on top of it all *chef’s kiss*

punk tech++motion motion/sound design by me :)

@hudconpapi you’ve got yourself a keeeper

wife is bullying me into posting my design work here sooooo

@Ali_Shobeiri wow, i thought you were kidding but they’re real really looks like a home made device haha thanks!

@ermanmalak It’s made by Kodak!

new miniature camera unlocked

@jacobmparis @evilrabbit_ based on my research (surface-level google results) it falls under the firearm category here in sweden for which you need a license and generally just knowing sweden, i’m pretty sure that thing would never be allowed here but i’d love to be wrong

@ermanmalak @evilrabbit_ they're not restricted items, this is just a propane torch in a gun form factor I used to use these all the time for heating things up in the winter tigertorch.ca

I just did a thing.

@evilrabbit_ sounds like a blast (pun intended) have fun and safe flaming!

@ermanmalak in my new backyard 😂🔥

@Kelechigraphixs it's a tough space, but hang in there study the greats and get better every day thank you, my friend

@ermanmalak Thanks for the feedback.. I will work on myself.. Thanks again

adding new parts to the model, step by step 3d modeling for an hour a day keeps my inner demons away

i’ve been semi-active on twitter for quite some time with relatively good engagement on past tweets, and i’m doing pretty niche stuff with detailed 3d renders, so it might be that i’m a bit different from the general crowd of us/ux designers that dominate design twitter and since most founders in hardware/tech and a lot of agencies hang out here, i’ve been blessed with a couple of good opportunities this past year i’d say just stay active and try to do you own thing to separate yourself from the crowd

@ermanmalak Yeah sure.. I too need client to engage with me cus that's what is needed at the end of day... How do you position yourself, please

@Kelechigraphixs ah, that’s what you mean - that’s alright, i’m not the best at posting engaging content clients engage with me though, and at the end of the day, that’s what i’m here for but i’m glad you show up at least, thank you

@ermanmalak People don't engage with you..

@3d_joachim i wanna say i always finish, but that wouldn’t be true

@ermanmalak Will want to get to the end

@travess @plutoniumfitzg @VetroEditions the terminology went way over my head, but i’ll look it up

@ermanmalak @plutoniumfitzg @VetroEditions quadrifluox printing process, uv reactive
