Recently I was talking to my buddy and we were talking about how certain forums and communities feel. His feel for polyocunt, I quote "It is like a seedy bar filled with professionals. You walk in and there is a dude smoking a hookah glaring down at you. Several guys at the bar look over with menacing glances. In a corner…
Polycount used to be a place I could go for learning and technical advice. I learned a whole lot about game modeling from polycount. These days game modeling has branched out considerably into a lot of sub-fields, and finding technical advice on polycount isn't as viable as it once was. Back in the day, you made models for…
Polycount is important to me. I've met a lot of people on here who I've then met in real life. Those connections and relationships can develop into long lasting friendships, or at the very least, acquaintances whom can help you in the industry or just shoot the shit with in IRC or chat. Polycount is also a place where you…
Polycount to me is what college should have been. Polycount is the catalyst that aspiring 3d artists need to break into whatever industry they are trying to get in to.
Polycount is where you lurk for years being too scared to post work. When you think you're good enough to post work on polycount, I think it's an indication that you're at a properly competent and confident level with your work.
took me way too long to turn my attention to polycount. not sure what I was waiting for though....that CGtalk became like it was in '98 again? At least people at polycount aren't that thread-lock happy :)
I'm a long time lurker, since 'constant costume party'. Don't post too much, but I visit polycount almost everyday. I love talks about games, art posted here, and sick sense of humor :D Polycount rocks ;)
Polycount is one of my favorite places ever. I remember the day when Gwot, Wrath, and Alphawolf were some of the only professionals on here. Slowly but surely, everyone here got better and better. We all helped each other get jobs. Now we're all sitting pretty, making dick and fart jokes on irc trying to help others get in…
Polycount is where I do stupid rants when I'm bored? No but really, it's a cool place because it feels like one of the only remaining forums that isn't flooded with myspace kiddies in an attempt to be "the biggest forum ever!" but also not so stuffy and 'serious' that you aren't allowed to speak frankly. Man, I've watched…
Ok I'll be serious for a second. Polycount is a bit like having a few more brothers. Some are older some are younger all into their own thing and at different stages, but there's a common bond that no matter what they say or do, I'll sit down and have a beer with em and talk about stuff we can agree on. I also like that…
