I'm employed full-time as an artist/animator with a major multimedia developer. I've been using 3DS full-time for about four years and consider myself quite proficient. I've done major modelling and animation projects for high-profile PC game and multimedia titles. I also do plenty of 2D support for my 3D work and am skilled in animator pro, photoshop, premiere, and a variety of other major graphics tools. In addition, I have good all-around PC hardware and software knowledge, and have conducted installation and training for new 3DS users. I have a feeling I'm currently making somewhat less than I warrant, so I'm asking everybody: what should the pay range be for someone with this level of skill and experience? I'd particularly like an idea of salaries, but I know a lot of 3D work is done freelance, so I'm also interested in contract rates. If I've posted this to the wrong section, kindly redirect me. Thank you all in advance.
