Where to show off Modeling work?

[tirpider]

I would like to start a general modeling showcase thread.

A general pic only thread where modelers can share (show off) works-in-progress or finished models that may or may not be for the game. 

I'm not sure where it would be best suited though.
3D-Modeling, Animation and Texturing seems appropriate, but some of the models might not be destined to become game assets, so I don't know.

Then there is Art Gallery and Creative Endeavors.
This is probably the proper place.

Would anyone have any advice on which way to go with this?

[Ltin]

put one in both?
or maybe led can do some fancy forum magic and have the same thread in both forums at once all pointing to the same place.

I suggest you make the call--we can make a new board or sub board if you want. 

[tirpider]

Well, I just did some digging and found RC's General Art thread.
(General- ART Gallery)

We don't have a lot of modelers, so it would probably be best to add to that to keep things organized.

I should have looked a little more before asking

[Snake]

Well, that looks more for photoshop stuff. I think I like the idea of a modeling showcase in the Modeling board.

I would start it in the Creative endeavors forum. Just to keep things organized

[tirpider]

I think you are right about keeping it in the creative endeavors board.

I also think I'm using the gallery thread incorrectly.  A Gallery is a place for finished stuff, but a wip thread would be a place to show progress and solicit criticism.

hmm...

Ok. I'll Start a 3d WIP thread, then.. who is moderating the Art Gallery and Creative Endeavors board?  I'd like to ask them to move the related 3d posts I just made over to the appropriate thread.

_{(This is the confusing way I work.. sorry)}

-edit
Wow.. that was fast

[SleepKiller]

Well that turned out to be a bit confusing. You may want to edit the topic a bit. SMF doesn't seem to handle merging well.

[tirpider]

heh, thanks, SK.

That was fast

I'll fix it.

-edit.. fixed.. sorta.

We also have a 3-D modeling forum too 

[tirpider]

I know, right?

I thought about the 3D board first, but a showcase for wip didn't seem to fit in topically with the various technical posts about getting things into the game. (though now I am questioning it... again.)

I know some folks are doing work in other programs, and through my own efforts, I know that not all my work in XSI is going to end up as a SWBF asset.  So the Creative Endeavors board seemed appropriate.

It could easily go there, and I wouldn't mind if if gets moved.  I just had a vision to share with the world but didn't know which wall to write it on.
