View count is available by hovering your mouse over the last posters name to the right of the thread title. The WAYWO thread for example has 1,062,568 views... I like the image wall idea with random large size thumbnails. I just wish I had more coding knowledge to make it happen...
I've never asked, and should have: Do you consider it valid to report people for generally vapid/meaningless posts like image macros? I don't know where the line is drawn on issues of personal taste that you guys may be way too busy to sift through and judge. I love this site in its current form and don't want to waste…
The WAYWO thread will never leave Polycount, its a staple of the PC experience. If anything, I want to streamline how quickly you can view the images within the thread. As an unrelated note, this is what I am thinking for a thumbnail system. If its possible to do, we'll do it. At least to tie us over until other, larger,…
So far I've liked Mark's layout the best. Personally I'm against the large image wall and that sort of thing. I think it works to enhance the superstar "ass patting" mentality, and works against the feeling of communication and community that makes polycount so great (at least in comparison to other places). I think simply…
Well I certainly don't know the factors behind thumbnail size on the CGHub front page but I think that a purely random solution would be great! It would give everybody a chance to be noticed. And yeah if we go for images, a distinction between WIP and final would be great. No need for an artist to repost everything under a…
on the subject of ~improved browsing~, I'm personally not a huge fan of thumbnails. "Don't judge a book by it's cover" comes to mind. Having to represent a whole thread by a tiny image isn't really that representative a lot of the times, and I fear that that would push people to only post threads with finished artwork,…
If you ignore GD, do you still feel this way? (What I mean is: Is this sort of behavior exclusive to GD?) EDIT: And to repeat what I said a couple of times in this thread: BY all means, feel free to report bullshit posts, replies that are only images, and other lame non-contributing types of posts. We might not deal with…
100% agree and am aware. I'm not fond of people using communities solely as their vessel for exposure. That's really my issue here. And one might argue that if your work is great enough, it'll find its way in front of the right eyes. ;) All I was asking for is better give-and-take from all artists. I enjoy reading about…
Sorry to chime in on "improvements" that can be made to PC, but I really like the idea of categorizing art threads. I can't even count how many times I've passed on/misclicked threads because the thread title was inane or confusing. Thumbs might help, but establishing categories like Characters, Environments, Props, FX,…
Great post Adam and I completely agree I love seeing people sharing knowledge. Lemonheads sketchbook springs to mind. He did a few massive art dumps recently but then BAM! Tons of awesome info on his work process, etc. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61393&page=3 Myself. I haven't updated my sketchbook in…
