I agree with renaming the 2D-3D section. "Tech-Talk" is a good compromise. It's what it's always been used for anyone. It's where people discuss all the technical aspects of game modeling. I don't see any reason to keep calling it "2d-3d." A differnt name would make its purpose a little clearer to any visitors unnacustomed…

Problem would probably be that polycount is known as an artists forums, so attracting programmers would be a little harder. That being said I am probably going to pimp a program either today or tomorrow.
There are a number of polycounters who are code-oriented already, and many who experiment with different coding. It'd be nice to have a dedicated place to discuss shaders, scripting, technical rendering/graphics discussions, etc. Its already covered in the 2d/3d forums, but I'd rather have a dedicated forum for it so its…
the renaming to technical talk is a good idea indeed, cause the forum was always the place for exactly that, and although imo it was kinda clear (even more if you look in its threads before you post), technical talk is easier to get. While I am more coder-oriented these days, I think polycount should not give up its root…
