you know the ones I mean like bobo, daz,Pior and the like. are you all hiding. we need you guys to counter the tide of noob snowflakes who are all depressed after working cg for 2 weeks:) I bet yu are all 2 important now
I never knew the old days and I don't doubt it was better before but Polycount has been by far my favorite website on the entiiiiiire internet for a few years now and I don't see that changing anytime soon :) There's a ton to learn from reading only even if you're not getting personal feedback! The newbies should be very…
I haven't been posting much on PC myself, I dunno even why, just been shutting up and trying to make art I guess, but now im trying to integrate all that social media/forum junk time together and section off some time in my day for it.
bejesus - didn't know some of you guy were still alive, I was thinking you were all old wizened men (and women - sorry demon princess) back in the dw days. I was never an uber pc community member, but I still remember drooling over B1ll's work (it was like Christmas every time he posted in WAYWO thread), chuckling at Ben…
Times change, people change. Most of the crowd I knew are now all seniors & leads etc and a fair few have kids. I know atleast from my personal experience that is some heavy shit, drains alot of your time and energy. I still lurk alot on PC, but spend most of my time I have for art stuff doing art stuff rather than posting…
True dat. I briefly thought what if we made an invitation-only section, to get some of that small-community feeling again. But that wouldn't work. It would be weird, first of all. It would be seen as elitist. But it would also get stale without new blood. And I'm not sure that kind of attempt at social engineering would…
Huh? Were all the "big guns" only in one generation, and the next generation didn't produce anyone of merit? I do get that the volume has changed, and that does have a large impact on the community. But at the same time it seems like there's quite a bit of rose-colored glasses going on, people pining for the days when they…
Oh hi Ruz - Would love to see more of your stuff too ! I can't speak for others but I can definitely share my perspective on this topic. As far as I am concerned there are a few factors that led me to posting less. Some obvious ones, and some not so obvious ... First off there are of course the very practical consequences…
I agree. I think we remember some of these posters specifically because knowledge was harder to get at the time and possessing it and sharing it made you more rare than it does now. Back then you had to actually add Earthquake on Skype to ask him how baking works if you wanted to be one of the 7 people that could do it…
it has quietened down overall by quite a bit from what i've noticed - including the discussion forums, so i think it can't just be blamed on artstation. i've never looked all that much at the art sections but just a few years back it used to be that i had trouble finding my own threads/posts the next day because so much…
