When I did the Vemork factory map, I worked 8-10 hours or more each day. For about 2 month. It was my first map ever, and I had never done any form of 3D modeling before so it took a really long time to complete it ( and to learn how to map at all ).

Dont spend so much time that you start to get tired of it... do it while its fun ( or until your girlfrieng threatens you with a knife :wink: ).

Before my serious injury. 4-5 hours a a day. Now, 9-14 hours a day. 4 maps in planning stages, 1 map in full production, 3 mappers under my command making 4 maps , 2 for each person. (BTW I am in the hospital right now.)

Well other than walking 4 times a day this hospital ward is boring. I have my lap top hook through their phone line. I map most of the day and watch ww II movies like Enemy at the Gates, Harts War, Saving Private Ryan and the Band of brothers DVD collection of course.
