No need to get offended guys it's all just for fun and improvement! I'm trying to organize everything on a few hours or sleep so I definitely missed a bunch of people.
I very rarely use facebook it's just the easiest way for me to have a main site where I can post the randomized groups each week. I will make a Main Thread for the group and post them there as well.
Everyone who wanted to be included as of this post now is in and will be assigned a group. Everyone who posts after this will have to wait until next week - May 29th to join.
This is the list of people for this week. If you have not added me on Skype, please do so and I will add you to the main discussion. My name is LeeroyRa
Here's just a suggestion I made to LRoy yesterday, I was wondering if anybody else had a similar idea?
We should look at splitting the groups by the persons preferred area of development, so perhaps for now we'd simply split by Character Artists and Environment Artist (Including any hard surface works too really like gunz). Because currently with the groups being split randomly, its possible to have a group with 6 character artists and 2 environment artists, which clearly isn't going to give the required amount of critique/ professional support to those few environment artists.
I'd consider though, that for now, we should keep in the random groups for at least another couple of weeks so people can get to know one another, and so that we can see who's here to take critique on board and give others constructive feedback rather than just showing off their work.
just a suggestion for you LRoy, you may also want to have a note of each person's polycount name and their real name on the list, that way it can be easier to recognize who is who through skype
This may have been mentioned earlier and I missed it, but if you guys want to ramp this up and really get it organized, I would think something like GoToMeeting http://www.gotomeeting.com/fec/gotomeeting_pricing would be a better solution. You can do desktop sharing which would make it nice to be able to share work with each other and get some real-time input. Obviously, there is a cost for it, but you can try it for 30-days and get an idea of how things would work. Work out the price details later. I think this would be a lot more productive to what you are trying to accomplish.
We may do something like that depending on how it goes. Right now we are still working on everything.
New Groups are going up now. Everyone either already in or interested in joining needs to PM me your Skype and Facebook names. Also whether you prefer to be in a Character or Environment group. If you do not do this you will not be placed in a group.
I'd love to hop into one of the groups if it's still possible also. I'm bouncing back and forth between 3-4 projects at the moment trying to work out some design elements and would love to get some feedback without spamming the forums
Add me on Skype (LeeroyRa) and you will be invited to our general class chat. (It saves the chat from when you are offline and updates you so you dont miss anything).
Join the facebook also as this is. We have a list of helpful links and it'll give you another way to contact people if need be.
