Am I allowed to rant? Non-contributing community members. (Uh oh!)
Oh I am? Nice! It's Friday. I've had far too much caffeine already and feel like writing. I hope you all don't mind. DISCLAIMER: No one specific post, artist, or activity prompted me to write this. I have wanted to for awhile and finally sat down to do it. 3D game artists who use communities to shill their artwork, while… -

Also: I realize I cannot stop people from doing this. And honestly, I am ok with that. I just wanted to rant a bit and hope I encourage more people to share themselves with the communities out there beyond their beauty renders and wireframes. -

This would be fairly easy to start, if the leaders and community members who post badass art put a little extra words in their posts, and set an example. It doesn't have to be what seems to be the standard "DO THIS OR REPORT THEM" mentality of a few recent threads, its awesome when people include it in their threads, but… -

I'm at an odd point on this thread, mainly because of my focus being fx. When I posted up my reel after being let go from Cryptic, I had a few people ask for tut's. I'd love to do them, but the fx system I know (and care to work with) I no longer have access to. Now, that being said, my slow crawl back into the game… -

"Another generic sci-fi goblin hallway chick wip" I have wanted to create threads just ranting about bad thread titling. Not that I am great at titling my own threads, but it really bothers me. On a more relevant note, I'm glad I've been reading this thread as its been going. It's definitely made me think more about how I… -

I think this thread has defenitly gone south and pissed a ton of people off, who at one point in time may have been some of our best members. Polycount is a brotherhood not just a site, we wear green and black shirts to work and in public. Some of us even wear them to bed. I know that I am just a mere novice in the game… -

One thing about the +1 thing, I've been on a few forums that have the 'thanks for a helpful post' thing, and you will see a mid-level artist posting up something that is good, but full of flaws. The first ten posts will be people saying "OMG soooo perfect!" & "jizz+pants etc." The original poster will reply to each of… -
Re: Am I allowed to rant? Non-contributing community members. (Uh oh!)
I wonder if a +1 button would help reduce the clutter. If all you want to do is give an OMG/pants explosion then just +1. if you have something useful to add then post. -

i think some people are getting way too defensive and serious about this thread. as the topic says, it is a rant :D being proactive is good, but no one is obligated to document their work flow for various reasons. INSTEAD, when you see a hit and run thread just get the guts to ask the art questions if you have any. -
Re: Am I allowed to rant? Non-contributing community members. (Uh oh!)
I think the other flipside of the coin is people actively encouraging people posting for ego stroking/ass pats. people who just post jizz images or "OMFG SO AWESOME FAP FAP FAP" are not really contributing at all. a single sentance reply is kinda useless and a lot of the time seems to be just there to up their post count,…
