What does collaborating with someone on a product entail? How does that work?

It means we have split the job. For example, for The Adventurer outfit, Sanbie did the modeling and texturing, and I did the rigging and morphing. However, this wasn't a regular collab - Sanbie was about to drop the project because of health issue, and I thought Dusk MUST have that outfit, so I jumped in and finished it for her.

A regular colkab is when we decide to start something with one or more collab artists. That was the case with Savage Dawn, and the upcoming CKV-01 scifi outfit for Dawn. We have joined efforts to design and built everything together from scratch.

One person submits the product but there is a section that says who gets what percentage. It really depends on what you decide on before you start a project. You can go 50/50 if you split the work, or if someone does the bulk of the work you can spit for that person to get more (I'm sure you can split it more than 2 ways but I've never had too, my colab has only been half/half or I did texture add-ons that were separate products).

Well, I think everyone knows by now that I hate texturing, so any add-ons can be the purview of the other person. I'd probably just stick with modeling and UVs.

Rae is correct, it is possible to split a single product royalty between 2 or MORE people - actually, as many as you wish. The split percentages are usually established beforehand, according to how much of the work each party member will do.

Maybe Hivewire should start an informal collaboration group. Someone could create or suggest a product and people whould sign up for who wants t do what?:laugh:

The forum has such a subforum, but it's only viewable by those who are already CAs and selling products in the HW store.

I'm sure if you wanted to, you could start a thread of your own to see who would be available, and interested (I'm thinking Rae for one) in collaborating with you.

I think anyone is free to start a collab thread, even if not a HW vendor. That's what the forums are for, to help people to get together and do things. Doesn't have to be commercial.

True Ken, there are sub forums in the 3D Content Development that are split up if the item is for Dawn, Dusk etc where people can say they are creating "X" for Dawn and they would like help or a partner etc (or even just to show off :p)

Very true Rae, and if the query is general in sense, and not for a particular HW character, a thread can be added below the separate Dawn, Dusk, Baby Luna etc. categories. Earl may just want to know who's available and interested, and then he can open a thread in a particular category for a project involving a specific HW character.

Not sure I why I didn't think to mention this in my earlier post. :unsure:
