Top Row suggestion

Will Faucher

Hey!

I never cease to be impressed by the awesome artwork that comes along through here, and I find it a shame that only a few select few get chosen to be used as a header up there.

Would it be possible to have a top row like the one they have on Zbrush central? Simply something that updates often, and shows off the incredible artwork that comes along.

Just a suggestion though!

~ While we're on the subject. I didn't finish the DomWar Mini, so it doesn't actually affect me:

however I felt that the News Page for the Domwar voting completely overlooked all those awesome 2D guys, by only showing images of the 3D entries. Let's not leave them out in the future! Those guys painted up a storm!

Awe shucks, thanks for sticking up for us little guys dreamer. I'm surprised you didn't finish man, you had a really strong entry in the works!

Seconded on the top row idea. I also really like ZBrush central's "recent thread" image thing they have in the main forum. Which shows the latest images uploaded. It really helps draw attention to all the art that is being uploaded.

.....but. that would possibly only work in the P&P forum. Coz general discussion would only show cat gif's and cock tanks (or is that P&P as well?).

What about combining the news page and the forum top row? Seems like a good merger.

As much as I like seeing the top row images, I loathe the "top row!!!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:" comments that I've come to associate with ZBrushCentral. Hopefully that wouldn't happen here.

Yeah i think banner rotation is much superior to top row. I agree with Axios, the Zbrush community is retarded when it comes to that thing. Banner rotation wins!

Will Faucher

Perhaps have new art chosen for the banners more often? I dunno, it seems like there has been such INCREDIBLE stuff lately, and it hasn't been chosen for the banner!

I think one of the major appeals of Polycount's header system is just how exclusive it is. You have to bring some seriously good art to the table to be considered.

I'm not trying to discount others who have done great work, and there's tons of good work on Zbrush's top row thing, but at the moment it feels like a MAJOR AWARD!!!!! to be featured in the polycount header.

It's kinda weird, Adam told me he was gonna feature something up there that I suggested to him, but 3 months later and it still hasn't happened. Also the last 4 or so have been characters only...

jakelear

His hand melted.

Xoliul

I know, I'm sorry if it sounded like that, but that was way before any of that happened.

I was just joking, in all fairness, we should probably get a penis tank up there too, it's the reason for the season

Could we have a sticky with links to the top row work threads, for easy reference?

Ah cool, thanks.

well the banner is as good as the top row thing. But I still really like the recently added images thing on ZBrush's main forum. It really helps to keep track of people's art. And i don't have to trawl though threads to find new artwork. I think the P&P, sketchbook and competition forums could really use something like that. Maybe only 5 images across the top or something.

I think PC is waaay too cynical to have JO comments on a top row.

That said I think I would rather see the news page combined into the header area so I don't have to have 2 links in my bookmarks tab thing in my browser for PC.

yeah banner updates take WAY to long. sure the art up there is great but i think the scenes made by Jason and Hiten are like a year old already. Lets get some new hotness up in there to break it up!

A voting/recommendation system would be pretty cool. I know it would take a little bit of work, but it would be cool to have a banner recommendation link under all initial posts in the PnP forum.
