I don't think the Showcase/banners are necessarily intended to show off all the awesome work that goes on here, one look through 2 or 3 pages of the WAYWO thread is enough for someone to realize that there is a huge amount of exceptional work which deserves to be seen. Not to say that the ones which are currently in there…
I believe Polycount mods are busy guys, and this way there´s some threads that deserves to be highlighted in PC showcase, but are missed, simply because the right people doesn't see them in time. So, I'm starting this thread to everyone point out threads that they think that has exceptional artwork, and are inspirational.…
I'm in 100% agreement with this. The Polycount showcase should be about stuff that's on Polycount. PC has been known for a while as a place where you can go to post WIP stuff and get critiques. I'd like to think that the banners showcase the work that comes from those WIPs and critiques.
I think the banners should stick to personal projects IMO. Anyone can easily see art for games but its the personal work I think that should be showcased and made into a banner. Not to say the work above isnt fantastic, because it is, but I just personally think it would be cooler to showcase personal art projects then…
Agreed with the personal stuff only. There might even be legal issues with commercial stuff. That said, there should really be much, much more stuff in the PC showcase...
It might help if you made a showcase banner image for them, less work for the mods to hook it up. But, yeah, it would be cool to have more of these in rotation.
Hehew, no thanks.. I've been working 10, 12h a day six days for week. On free time I prefer to work on my personal stuff and go to the gym. If mods decide to put these threads on showcase, they will add proper banners themselves.
It will be easier for them to decide what you want them to decide if you decide to help out. Just a suggestion. Remember that the mods are volunteers, not paid. You don't have to, anyone who's interested could do it.
Agree, personal work with decent wip progress and info on construction should be bannered. Stuff that is wow, but also helpful for people to learn from. Thats the spirit of what we want to see on Polycount, so thats what should be held up as examples of great work imo.
