Now that we are at it, couldnt a new row, or just one bigger preview be added?, one that shows randonly the all time most popular art, think on the lizardman or barbarian models that are buried forgotten and invisible to new users.
A workaround around this would be to show and link to them on the empty brackets for publicity on the left of this site.
salt_flower did, but you see, not anyone have the energy to counsel one and every new amateur artist posting their art here. People try to keep the comunity feeling by not badmouthing every extruded cube posted around here, the silent treatement is their response.
The main problem is that anyone can post whatever they want and clutter everything, blendswap rules are nice and could be enforced here, so these "ofenders" first post their work on the forums and look for guidance/advice before releasing; but the problem is everyone thinks their own art is great (even if its the ginger bread man from blender tutorial).
Really, lattest art needs some kind of change. Cause rigth now, is just a dump for whatever people want to send. As much artist friendly we are, there should be a point where something gets denied and deleted
twin_mice is good you start learning with this kind of simple models, but you already made a few of them, why dont you try making a more complex one? photo reference is crucial here. But if you just repeat the same models you are not going to improve at all.
"Maybe there could also be some process where people decide on the best art on this site, and then a random selection of that gets shown to people on the front page?"
We need that urgently, base it on number of liked times or total download, it doesnt matter, both should be close. But our best content shouldnt be buried by all the relatively new art.
Yes, absolutely, noone new knows the amazing barbarian, lizardman or dwarf models we have. Those are professional quality assests, and are lost among piles of other art, a "best ever" showcase could be created, since even collections are starting to get all messy and cluttered
maybe you are too enraged and going over the top, but i agree and think this page could use a puntuation system or a dedicated approver like blendswap does ( all art needs to be approved before being shown in main showcase) to keep quality to a minimum.
thx ill give it a try
Im sorry to hear that, i think you are the most active flare developer at this time.
i can only aplaud your iniciative, just one question, are CC-BY and CC-BY-SA also admited? (since they are less restrictive than GPL, i think)
