Actually that's not a bad idea. I was looking up the Flow Maps thread earlier today and I found it interesting cause the guys in that thread were working together to get Flow Maps working in UDK and this one individual acted as a tutor and tried to encourage the rest of the guys to figure it out. He knew the answer but he…
+1 to this. Think it would help a tonne with the whole documentation process, for example when Racer did his livestream for the RC Buggy was just interesting hearing him talk about his approach to texturing the model. Might be not doable with audio since the person will probably be distracted but an idea. I'm all for this…
So a few professionals getting together to organize an art project that will also be professionally documented is ass kissing self promotion? Settle down rascal. It just means that the project will more likely be finished and that there will be a lot of great documentation for the community to read through. Look at the…
No, you're right, it is still that. In my first post I wasn't saying that those days are long-gone or anything. After all, I'm still here. If I saw this community go down, then it's quite simple, I'll just stop coming here. It's just a forum... But what I was trying to say is that the trend is towards that. We're not there…
If you read everything I wrote, it was an example of people. Not people I am thinking of specifically. I literally sat there and put down the first names that came to mind when I thought of 'technical, sculpting, character, environment, texturing...' I went back and checked to make sure, but I never referred to this as a…
I think the only thing that would make it seem "douchy" is if you assumed people would get butt hurt for not getting "picked", or that if you assumed the people who did get picked would for some reason act like any different as a result. I'd like to think the community is more mature than that. I really don't see what the…
I think people are getting a little too caught up in who can and who can't participate. Read the thread title (Lurkers, Professionals and Students - OXY, I'm looking at you). This isn't a matter of watch me and my industry buddies make some artwork for you to fap over. It's an opportunity for the vast talent of Polycount…
Polycount Art Project (PAP) I've wanted to do something like this now for a while - a project where people from Polycount contribute to an art project. I won't give project ideas away just yet, because I'm really just interested in gauging reactions to such an idea. We've had an un-Official project going on for a while now…
I agree with others that there are a lot of structural problems with the idea and that, between work, personal projects and just general busy schedules, it'd be like herding cats to try and get a bunch of people together to work on a single project. Here's what I gather so far about what people DO WANT: * To see pros and…
pretty sure he said they were hypothetical examples and not people he's contacted. I like the idea of a community project in the sense that while it's mostly the best of the best participating, the rest of us would get to watch and learn. and where else would you get to see a joint effort from such a group of badass…
