Trading skills and services for BTC

[to3d]

Hey all,

I'm totally new to bitcoin, it seems I jumped on board right before this recent big hike which is cool, and bought myself a small amount of coin (only 0.1) before digging in to the mining and all the research about it.

I have been meaning to get involved as I like the concept and heard Max Keiser talking about it a while back and it sounded good, if only I would have invested some time and research when I first heard about it. Be rich I 'tells 'ya, duck tales swimming in a vault of gold coins rich! Anyway fantasies aside....

My main point for discussion is about trading services for bitcoin. I notice on the wiki there's a bunch of stuff you can get for your bitcoins, including services. How would I go about getting added to that list?

I'm a 3D visualization artist, currently self-employed. (Graduated from the UHanimation programme) I'd like to offer the bitcoin community 3D vis for any interesting projects. I notice the community has alot of people with techy, green, and innovative projects and would like to get involved by providing high quality, physically accurate, photorealistic 3D vis for a competitive payment in bitcoins. My current website is www.to3d.co.uk where I have a few bits of work.

Does anyone have experience trading services for bitcoin? How has it worked out for you?

Cheers!!!!

Hey just create an account at coinbase and you can start accepting bitcoins right away for your services. It's like a paypal plugin for website, only it is BTC.

Hi thanks for the question. I use Autodesk software, primarily 3DS Max + Vray for rendering. I use real world scale, and physically accurate vray cameras and lighting. This is currently the industry standard in creating photo-realistic conditions for rendering. This also means you get a real world scale model that can be used in different applications such as cad or bim. I then use either After effects or Photoshop (sometimes both) for post production.

I can also help with concept design as I was taught traditional art skills, storyboarding and also story-telling as part of my BA degree.

I first started working with digital 3D in 2008. Graduated from University of Hertfordshire (www.uhanimation.co.uk) in 2011. Been freelancing on various projects since (also some web development and graphic design). So about 3-4 solid years experience with 3D vis.

Cool I also have my wallet set up on my computer already. It would be good if there were a bitcoin marketplace for services don't ya think? Maybe with a common theme such as product/energy innovation and prototyping where people with different skillsets can collaborate on group projects.
