What about the artist?

[pat_mathis]

I just reliezed that there are no forum rooms for artistic aspects of gaming! Don't you think that it would be a great way to increase the community here? Things like Modeling, animating, texturing, music/sound, 2d animation, GUI's, scene direction, or whatever!

Not to mention it could add onto the available referances with book reveiws, leasons on shading, perspective, anatomy, and such.

I understand that there is already one metric butt-ton of pages as such out there, but how many specificlly for the purpose of game development?

So, wadda you say, go or no go?

that question can only be answered by dia... i haven't seen him around the last days though...

The question I would ask to this is how much traffic would the forum get? if it only gets a post once a month then it's not really worth opening a seperate forum IMHO. I've rarely seen any artistic posts. That's basically because this community is programmers mainly.

just my opinion.

Yeah, this site _is_ devmaster. I think expanding the focus will only dilute the site.

[Dia Kharrat]

Yeah, I believe it's better to keep focused right now. If we get enough posts related to art, then we might consider opening a new forum for it.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Alright, I guess that all makes sense. I just figured that it would be a good way to get programmers and artist to know eachother as apose to "Let's make a game! Um... know any artist?"

well I better get on thoughs art related post :D
