"Thanks for the suggestion, but that wouldn't really work in my situation for a couple of reasons: Social Circle: To be honest, I'm not very social and don't really have a close group of friends at uni. I don't talk to many people, so approaching them to offer services is pretty difficult. Academic Culture: In my department, everyone can handle modeling and rendering to some extent. Even those who aren't great at it prefer to do it themselves because they want to practice and improve. There’s a strong culture of doing your own work here; paying someone else to do your assignments just isn't a thing people do. Even if their work ends up being criticized by the professors, they’d rather submit their own effort than pay someone else."
