Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and do a quick recap of what I'm hearing here. I want to get together an actionable list of things that we could do to help serve our community in a way that's beneficial to all of us. After reading through the responses so far here's what my take-aways are: - Return of Monthly Challenges-…
I wouldn't mind seeing a tad more love for TF2 either. Sure it's getting older and a lot of people are losing interest (I am jumping over to dota to try to improve my skills and start to sculpt) but once it got moved into the sub-forum it's crickets over there. Don't forget, we have a contribute tag for TF2 workshop as…
There are a few ways to do this - one is we setup a polycount account in Google Apps that lets us have a page including all our hangouts and arbitrary content similar to how our Facebook portal works. The other is doing just what zbrushhangout does - it's a simple web page with some api calls to Google Hangout. Hosting…
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.…

As much as I love this place and aren't really involved in TF2 or Counterstrike, it seems to me if there's going to be a something like a…
The dota2 subforum community has started using the google hangout "tool" back i think in spring last year. Since then its been basically always heavily frequented and most of the time full with 10/10 users in it. For me the hangout has been a huge learning experience. The head to head contact with other more experienced…
I think the idea of an open channel between polycount dota 2 artists and Valve would be a great idea. I'm not sure if one chat would be enough honestly, lots of people have different questions, so it would be nice (if possible) to establish some kind of continuos comunication where periodically Valve people can actually…
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…
