A contractor hired me to do some sketch up modeling + renderings. He knows a little bit of SU but he said he's very slow at modeling and doesn't know anything about rendering. The models were begun by him. I finished modeling them and adding material as well as rendering them with lighting.
I sent him the. jpgs of the final product but he is asking me to send him the original SU file.
depends on your contract. Did the language say that you were building him a sketchup model? Or did it say you were designing a building and rendering 3d views? If the contract was for you to build a sketchup model, then you owe him a sketchup model, but if the contract was about design, then you can charge an extra fee to release them.
I would suspect he doesn't know s-from shinola...in sketchup and he will have a cluster_F
so send him the files. Just be damn sure the his check has cleared the bank first. Then be sure you have readable files just incase he comes a knocking at your door wondering why the file you sent to him where garbage. Better to be safe than sorry.
Should I give sketch up file to client?
