Though I am still new to 3D, I have been thinking about trying to get some paid work, if for no other reason than to upgrade my hardware and software. My inquiry to those who work professionally: How did you get started? Did you pick someone, and offered your services? Did you post some pictures and let offers come to you? I think you get the gest of what I'm trying to ask. Any advice would be welcome. Also, did anyone come up with a solution to that piston animation problem I posted a week or so back?
