I think that could be worked around by either randomly sizing the images (no size-by-views), or keeping all images the same size. Likewise, limiting the image mosaic to a supplement to the sketchbook sub-forum viewable only on by going to the sketchbooks, instead of a frontpage banner, similar to the way Zbrushcentral's…
Jesse, Cghub uses a random algorithm to chose what images are shown at what pixel size based on the forum thread post # and attachment. So in theory it runs it self and a really crappy picture could be large for one moment but it would change as soon as you hit refresh a few times. To others yea image overload is fine for…
i'd have to say i prefer Marks layout over Piors... i don't really want to be bombarded with images. what i would say, however. is that if Piors were to be the chosen format going forward, then maybe the larger images should be the ones with FEWER posts/views. that way you're encouraging people to look at the less viewed…
I did something like this recently, i had a lot of advice along the way and i felt like others could get some benefits from it too. Most of my sketches and rambling goes on in my sketchbook though, i feel like i can say things better via posting images as opposed to trying to explain my vague and erratic process.…
To be perfectly honest; NOTHING says 'ignore the noobs that need help' more than this. Their pics become small and overlooked. Your eyes go straight to the large images. It's simple design 101. This will only encourage more 'OMG AWESOME' posts.
I love that layout Pior did. So awesome. If we add that in addition to the forum, and have each of those images link to a WIP thread, that'll be awesome. As to the CGhub thing, I'm not too good with that stuff, but I'm pretty sure it's just Thickbox.
I really dig that layout Mark. I think there are some great ideas between the last couple pages and Pior's initial post. Quick question. With your proposal, Mark, would the preview thumbs at the top be purely for P&P, or would other sub-forums get their respective set of preview images? If not, and the preview thumbs were…
This is why most of my posts have been in the Tech forum. People come in and ask a question to learn something and the answers the PC community give just add to a bigger pool of knowledge. It's really the best part next to WAYWO and the challenges... And cat image posting. PC - Penis tanks and Cats.
pior I REALLY like those ideas, I hope the crew can pull off something like that. I also like Stringer88's ideas but with some slight modifications because I think it pushes the threads down too far. Maybe split the top header into two sections, "WIP Thumbs" and "Gallery Images" like the banners we have now but with an…
