Re: Sketchbook: Rima
More aimless sketching that I can't turn into anything. I feel like I've lost whatever shreds of confidence I had to sculpt properly. I'm just procrastinating again.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Every day I wonder when some YouTuber is going to make a video essay that's like:
"THE SECRET VIDEO GAME ARTIST TRAINING GROUND THEY'RE HIDING FROM YOU!"
with an arrow pointing to some JFletcher piece or something labeled "PEAK"...
...and then the entire video is just some guy explaining to gamers what Polycount and Artstation are.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Things have changed over time — the forum format might not be the most popular these days, but I think Polycount still has great value thanks to its community and tutorials. Hopefully, new content and techniques will keep appearing over time. It’s really nice to have all these tutorials gathered in one place.

Re: AI Art, Good or Bad? A (hopefully) nuanced take on the subject.
The number of AI generated video ads on youtube is incredibly irritating-- and feel like the old days (current days?) of "You won't believe this one weird trick!" banner ads on your local news site. You would think youtube would try to limit this. It really devalues their platform. At least when it's an ad for geico or Factor, you know there's something real there.

Nah,.... It's just fine. Sure, it's not the same as it was, but none of us are. Still here, still a great place with great members.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I don't post often because frankly, I don't feel knowledgeable enough to bring something of value to most of the conversations. But I quite enjoy the forum being slow- I can actually keep up with what is being said, also people are generally more agreable here than on discord.
This forum is one of the only place where I got proper feedbacks. Bigger, 'thriving' places, my shit get glossed over. As one of the die-hard juniors, this place is a goldmine, even when the older folks tends to be fatalists.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I would not say dying. Just changing (evolving). As mentioned people gravitate towards Discord and that sucks. Info just goes into a black hole that can't be searched.
As for me, my lifestyle has changed a lot. Back in the day I was pretty active because I only had me to worry about. Come home, play games and make stuff, learn stuff and post on PolyCount and GameArtisans. Now I have wife, house, kids and other responsibilities. I just don't poke my head in as much.
Also as mentioned, it's up to us to keep it active and in turn that brings the boys/girls to the yard.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
we're supposed to say why?Ashervisalis said:You're all like my dysfunctional family who gets to tell me why my art is bad.
this place is still more useful than any discord server - primarily cos you can follow a thread and search it properly.
