Mmm, but how to define a newbie? Anyways, the idea is reasonable, maybe we do need a seperate part for the 'look @ my first model ever' posts, no offense to anyone, but it makes the forum look better ... The gallery page (what shows off 3dgs visual capabilities) has a direct link to showcase I and II, however in showcase I it's mostly models being shown, not the engine itself in action. Fair enough models are usually part of the work in progress, but spike's got a point ..
Cheers

part of me feels like this is not needed, because isnt the definition of Showcase 1 works in progress. This dosent discriminate by saying "Good works in progress..." because lets face it, were not all good game designers here. Plus, we have all paied the 50+ dollars for the engine... so we are all entitled to show our work equally. However, on the other side, I kinda agree. To have a section specifically for first-timers may work, but part of me thinks the forum wont get any attention, simply because its basically a compilation of sub-par work. Maybe Im wrong... Anyways, those are my thoughts, do with them as you will . Regards, Raddaddy Edit1: I also agree that it will be hard to efficiently define the boundaries of the forum.

Yeah, I agree, trying to define who's a newbie is actually not a good idea, we don't want to scare anyone away, nor offend any of the new guys. Not every new guy is a newbie, not every guy that's around since 2000 is an expert modeler either.
However a separate forum for all these modeling showcases would be somewhat nice, or maybe we all should add a [MODEL] tag or something. And a [GAME] tag for a game that's showcasing some work in progress. It's a choice between yet another sub forum, or add tags I think, maybe tags are the way to go...
Cheers

Yes. I agree with Firoball. I also hate such topics especially in combination with thousands of "!"
Stuff like "PLEEEAAAASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!" or "yet another modelling approach..." or whatever is nonsense.
We could also let it like it is but with a better moderation of Showcase II and maybe an additional Gallery like this:
- shows only very good projects - nobody can answer / reply (except the original poster) - an art moderator has to kick off or has to set it free

Well it may not be easy to define a proper title. This includes those who don't know anything about defining main ideals, purpose of a topic, identifying a conclusion, etc.
It's all about "reading comprehension."
However, if a topic is pretty simple, and if a newbie shows his/her first model to the community, for example, like a high-definition TV, then a topic starter can be a little more specific other than "my first model." What they can mention in the subject is "my first model: HDTV" or "My HDTV model -- have a look."
I hope you get my ideal.
