3D Render Subsection? - General

Should we have a 3D Rendering subsection in the Art forums? 3D Rendering is a highly precise art with all kinds of variables to play with, and can make for quite lengthy and in-depth discussions. 3D art can be just beautiful too, whether or not realism is the focus of a project. There are all kinds of different ways to render scenes as well, and different render engines and modelling software. Some examples of the incredibly varied results of renders: [img]http://www.yafaray.org/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=3012[/img] [img]http://studiodistract.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/toon11.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.luxrender.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2295&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] [img]http://www.luxrender.net/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2076&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] I suppose it is comparable to photography - but perhaps even more in-depth.

nope

Way too narrow a subject for a subsection. No. [editline]02:51AM[/editline] Like, never in a billion years kind of no

there used to be a really big megathread on it way back when and that was sufficient for all the discussion that needed to be had on it

We really ARE approaching photo realism.

That'd be about as necessary as having a section dedicated to a game.

3D art thread.

[QUOTE=STOF;24010854]That'd be about as necessary as having a section dedicated to a game.[/QUOTE] We have those.

Make a megathread in creationism corner.

[QUOTE=Sharpshooter;24010928]We have those.[/QUOTE] I know.

Megathreads aren't good enough?

we got 3d art thread bro.

There's already a megathread about it.

The megathread doesn't move that fast, it's fine to post in and people will read what you say so no, I don't think it needs a subforum.

the digital 3D art thread, like everyone said already. in all honesty, i don't think there are enough 3D artists on FP to warrant a subforum. 'blenderaser':haw:

There's way too few people to make one for. Seriously, only about 50 or so people would participate. What would be the point? Just make a thread.

Just post the stuff in creationism corner. That's what it's there for.

[QUOTE=exhale77;24010843]We really ARE approaching photo realism.[/QUOTE] We already have achieved it in non-realtime rendering. Software can do, it's up to the artist to add all the little detail needed.

3d digital art thread bro. post there.

You should probably ask there. But I think the one thread for it works fine.

The 3d digital art thread moves at about 10 posts a day. And you're telling me we need a whole other section for it..?
