I think a thread and then selecting top answers is probably the best bet for something like that. Personally I would like to know more information on how the selection process works, how important votes actually are and what purpose they serve (With the unveiling of upvote scandals), how some sets get added after being on…
Pretty much, in the style of the recaps would be fantastic, with links to workshop entries to allow new and existing users to vote (As suggested earlier). Ideally a neutral third party would choose what to show, which I believe is the current system in place for 'what are you working on.' There's a lot of clicks and bias…
We could just get a concept from a fellow polycounter, or do like on the "Monthly Noob Challenges" over at Pimping and Previews, where they get a cool character/scenery concept from the internet, and everyone starts on the same level. The objective could be just to finish the item, get it working in-game and some…
Seconding the idea of having a gallery to give greater exposure to the amazing artwork that is created in this sub-forum. I think that Pior is totally correct when he says that a lot of users from the "main" sections are pretty unaware of the work that gets posted in here - I had no idea that there was much going on in…
I think one reason to put banner work up would be to teach. You click on it and it could take you to the artist's workshop thread. Then you can peruse through their workflow and see how they work. I've learned a lot about texturing and such just by following threads. Pior is one such fountain of knowledge. And pretty much…
Sounds cool but hopefully it embraces the entire community more than just 'top content' as voted on by the workshop community. We already have that and it's called seeing the same 3 items on the front of Steam for 4 months. That's the MAIN problem with the Steam Workshop as it is right now. Continuing that trend on another…
GhostD - I am not quite sure what else there is to say about the channels/masks really ... the Valve doc covers pretty much anything, doesn't it ? What is there specifically that you find to be missing ? On the subject of how Polycount could help, I agree with the general theme expressed in many posts already : exposure.…
First of all I would like to thank everyone who make this community run. My suggestion: I think It would be amazing if you could get the steam judging board (:D) for the monthly contests or somehow give assurance to the winners that your items will be in game. This will be the best prize for the winners (much better than a…
I only started modelling for games around a year ago and Polycount has very much been my home since then. The amount of help I have received and the feeling of community we have here is great, so thank you for working hard on the website and it's community that gives us a place to call 'home' It's really great you guys are…
Hey Pior you can actually do this though would require a "bot" to crawl through the pages and get the images etc. I had a basic prototype running on my Dropbox when I think it was Ace-Angel who asked if he could just get a picture only waywo page. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/391285/PolycountImageTest/test.html…
