Posted By: cmallenI know that a high end 3d program could do that, but it would be like buying a Ferrari just to go to the supermarket. I’m sure there must be a cheap program that does that. Since you keep mentioning 3D programs, I might as well point out that Blender (which is free) will do what you’re looking for. It’s overkill for this particular example, and the learning curve is notoriously steep, but it’s something to keep in mind. I don’t quite understand what you don’t like about the tool that Max linked, but that particular effect can be reproduced on static images in Photoshop using the warp tool (Edit > Transform > Warp, and select "Bulge" from the dropdown).

Posted By: DamienEdit: Beta tester site? Are you talking about Clayton’s FMD? huh? the discussion board we’ve been talking on on thefmd.com, not FSw. I figured the rates were around there, but even if he was only charging $50/hour, I still didn’t have the budget to pay appropriately. So he’s my new hero in a way. Also, I was holding for MT’s support, and by chance figured out the whole phpmyadmin thing. It all makes sense now......

"What part of that is a freelancer question?" I was replying to the very first sentence uttered in response to my post. Quote: "what’s with the second link going to free music download?" So nah it’s not a freelancer question, but it’s a question I was asked- unprovoked- by a member, so I answered it.

Can do. Also, for your own reference, the going rate for that kind of work (at least in the LA area) can range anywhere from $40 to $80/hour of work, depending on experience. If you ever get into some *serious* database work (large scale, sensitive info, complex structure, etc), I’ve heard rates in the range of $100 - $150/hour are not uncommon, especially among Oracle database admins.
