I think polycount people jumping on this site has been a good thing. With CGHUB it always felt like 3d and especially video game art was valued below concept paintings.
Pretty glad CGhub went down tbh, after using this for months I appreciate it so much more. Plus 80% of the trending page isn't boobs in bikini armour :thumbup:
I totally agree. I never saw game environments on CGHUB's front page, and I've already seen a few awesome ones so far. We'll see if that continues as time goes on.
Yeah the smaller CGHUB type thumbnails is something you can vote for here: https://artstation.uservoice.com/forums/230968-general Someone already mentioned it, the community just needs to push for it I guess.
It's still early but I have found a couple things about artstation that I'm not crazy about in comparison to cghub. I don't think they do a great a job of making a larger pool of art viewable to people who just load the front page. Basically, their "picks" are essentially like top row pieces, and their "popular" are…
Yea I agree. I sent Leonard an email about doing some sort of stat tracking and they have SUPER detailed stats planned! Really looking forward to that. I think they have the right idea to replace CGHub.
Set mine up a couple days ago, nice to see many old favorites from cghub migrating to ArtStataion. Here's mine: http://www.artstation.com/artist/MrHobo EDIT: Thanks Torch, lack of sleep is messing with my hands
Having your own space is a good idea but there's also a ton of value in being part of a discoverable community like cghub or artstation ... the odds of someone wandering into your solo site are less than stumbling over your art on a community site.
I've been waiting it out to see how Artstation would pan out. I'm actually a huge fan so far, and am somewhat convinced it'll be the guy to "take over" cghub, but *shrug who knows. Finally hopped on the Artstation train a bit ago :) http://www.artstation.com/artist/jaysonmiller
