Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I came back after 10 years in concept art and returned to game 3D art. I've got to tell you: it's near impossible to learn from Discord. Barely any feedback. After a day, it's buried under other people's stuff. Maybe I'm old [and I am ;D], but I miss forum times. -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Personally I still check out the forum from time to time, I owe it (you all) and its wiki a lot. It's sad to see it right now though, I think it represents the decaying state of the industry. I hope we get to see better days again, this place makes me appreciate having a sense of community around 3D art. Seeing this thread… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
"Is there a platform that is thriving you'd recommend?" Only forum can think of that's been around from a similar CG art perspective - vintage is BA?! but these days noticed imo a shift toward some sort of acrimonious 'vibe' creeping in there, just via few recent incidents I'd experienced so hardly visit other than… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I wouldn't say dying, but it certainly became niche. Most forums are as quiet now. I suspect the kids are at Discord, but the entire model - from not being easily browseable because it's a friggin messenger service to being walled off from the internet - is just not conductive to knowledge exchange and in my opinion,… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
These days most artists want to post their work in places that'll help them gain exposure (for their portfolio/game/etc.), but Polycount is only really focused on helping artists with critiques and technical questions. Artstation took over for showing portfolios (after CGHub died), and generic social media sites make more… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I think the industry as a whole is shrinking. Only die-hard juniors are considering game art as a career path, and also it's simply not wise to have a social media presence if you're working in corporate or have corporate clientele, which is what a lot of game development has become these days - so you have a lot of more… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Nah,.... It's just fine. Sure, it's not the same as it was, but none of us are. Still here, still a great place with great members. -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Every day I wonder when some YouTuber is going to make a video essay that's like: "THE SECRET VIDEO GAME ARTIST TRAINING GROUND THEY'RE HIDING FROM YOU!" with an arrow pointing to some JFletcher piece or something labeled "PEAK"... ...and then the entire video is just some guy explaining to gamers what Polycount and… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Not the same... true.. but I still know my password by hard. I feel not like posting Art that much here anymore bc there is no real interaction going on. On the other hand I'm probably making more art than back then. Still got my current job through pc 5 years ago - I'd say the page still worth it! I'm more active on… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Dying is pretty relative isnt it? Social media reddit discord killed a lot of places over the past decade, its all without value tho. Information got lost a lot or hidden behind stupid pay walls. Polycount is still around. Is it the same place it used to be 10, 15, 20 years ago? Obviously not, for better or worse. If you…
