There are some area's where the boards do overlap, but I think it would be best to wait and see how the new board forms before anything is attempted. Their board may end up faster than ours and our threads wouldn't be able to keep up.

Its possible that they might not even want us there, and would cause more trouble than its worth to force us upon them.

No, kill it before it grows and destroys us all.

To be honest, moot, Both /ic/ and /3/ could technically have the sub-catagory of graphic design so no it doesn't make sense to lump graphic design just to 3d or 2d artwork. I think the /gd/ board in a month will be slower than here, what I'd like to see is a board for 3d, 2d and critiquing of artwork in general.

also when's /trap/ coming?

I like the idea of a separate /gd/ board. It's not like there's some overlap from /3/ that it's going to steal, and I'm a firm believer in the value of slow and niche boards, so whatever /gd/'s speed turns out to be I'm fine with it.

I suppose I wouldn't terribly mind a merge if that's the final decision, but I don't see any hugely good reason to do it.

I would leave the two separate, both make heavy use of photoshop and there is crossover in the form of compositing but beyond that the two fields have little to do with each other and so the communities would not merge in a beneficial way. If /gd/ does not pan out and needs to be close for whatever reason then I would see it as making sense for it to be folded into /3/ rather than just going dead.

Since Graphic Design is technically it's own thing, it's best to keep them separate. 3D and 2D may be incorporated into graphic design, but not all 3D and 2D is graphic design. We'd get the same mess like we do in /hr/. If /gd/ threads were more popular, they'd bump /3/ threads off quickly (especially when you consider how slow /3/ can be. O /hr/ frequent reposts of celeb threads quickly kill smaller niche /hr/ threads.

With the speed of /3/ (and the fact that I've already seen a fair few /3/ threads on /gd/) I'd say they should be merged - but at the same time 3D is a rather large banner and it'd be asking /gd/ to take quite a fair amount of topics on board.

This. Don't merge the boards, graphics design is a very loose term and tons of shit falls under it so /gd/ is most likely going to end up being a lot faster than /3/ because we're a lot more specialized. Our stuff would get drowned in fucking threads about Helvetica and hurr how do I x-ray in photoshop, etc.

Plus, I like the little community we got going here, we're growing slowly but we're growing (at least I think we do) and merging boards would destroy the board culture we have.

The discussion and tone on /gd/ is quite distinct from /3/ to begin with, and the clusterfuck that would ensue if they were merged (mainly due to a lot of conflicting ideologies) would result in nonstop shitposting.

/art/ and /des/ or something similar (both as one board) makes more sense to make. /3/ and /gd/ kind of cover pretty narrow spectrums of users as it is.

we've had a few noobs post on /3/ with questions about 2D Graphics, but not very often.
I think /f/lash should get a make-over to allow posts like every other board. /f/ could do great things, if people could start threads, and have discussions on the subject.

/h/ get hit all the time with threads about animating flash games. you never know if those posts are going to get banned or not. /h/ constantly has threads about SDT, and other flash games, that don't really belong on /h/, but there's no place for threads on /f/.

I really just wish /3/ had more activity.

As it is, using this board feels more like I'm using email or a forum PM system with long waits between replies if there even is one.

If merging meant more activity and likely more users getting interested in 3dcg, then I'm for it.

My only fear is that 3D topics might become an extreme and eventually forgotten minority on the merged board, with 3dcg related threads/post/questions going unheeded.

If there was a merger, would it be /gd/ or /3/ that is integrated into the other? Or would both be erased and a new board created to take their place?

I saw many times people asking questions about 3D on /v/, /g/, /ic/ and /gd/ and then being told to fuck off.

I was one of the ones to discover the board shortly after its birth, but only because I was getting into 3D at that time and just was like "I wonder if there's a board for 3D".

/f/lash isn't a board that creates content though.
You would be hard pressed to find someone in /f/ that actually knows actionscript 2 or 3, knows how to decompile flash, use Flash to create vector animations or 2D art in general.
Really /f/ is just another porn board. On extremely rare occasion you'll get OC made by the community (porn), and even rarer you'll get non-porn OC like the Metroidvania Flash port.

>>342359
People also have no idea we have a torrents or rapidshare board. I posted a leaked build of Windows Blue there a few weeks ago and then linked /g/ to it and the whole thread was surprises.

>/f/lash isn't a board that creates content though.

it could be, but it's handicapped by the format.
can't post without a pic is one thing,
can't talk about flash without posting a flash is another.
Imagine if /3/ required you to post an obj to start a thread. 99% of the post would be eliminated. noob questions would be completely gone from /3/ if you had to know how to make OC before you could make a post asking for help.... this is exactly what is wrong with /f/ there are a few "privileged" /f/lashers who post there, the rest is a lot of reposted crap. you're right, about /f/ being unproductive. I disagree about few people knowing how to decompile flash, or the number of flash noobs being any greater percentage than /3/noobs.
/3/ has some issues... constant arguing over what software is best, and at the same time hating them all for their limitations. I've used them all, and anyone here will tell you that none of them are good enough, for what we want them to do. Part of that is hardware limitations, but despite vast advancements in hardware, we will not see photo-realistic games
for another decade. pissing about it won't do anything to change that. frequently there are posts on /3/ asking for critique and without fail, butthurt 3tards mad about photo-realism not being a reality, will trash the op for his model not being good enough, when it already exceeds anything that would be functional in a game today.

Being in the 3D industry I hate to say it, but Flash kicks ass where 3D fails, especially for web content. More and more of what I do these days is headed towards web or mobile, and most of that is 3D converted to flash. I'm not saying this is the future of 3D, but it is the now. Most people on /3/ don't even realize that 3D is built on 2D, and uses the same technology. look at all the posts in this thread saying "2D and 3D are very different" you could actually improve your 3D ability, by mastering 2D first.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_computer_graphics

A model can be displayed visually as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering. A model is not technically a graphic until it is displayed. Many 3D artists never render their models, because they know the real world can't handle their awesomeness, or it would be demeaning or degrading to exploit their models in a 2 dimensional manner.

I don't really support the idea. /3/ is a slow board with little activity, but I feel like merging with /gd/ would make 3D content on 4chan even more marginal. Generally 3D and graphic design are both broad subjects that do overlap, but mostly they're separate fields of expertise with different set of people.

I guess I'm just worried that 3D has no place in /gd/. Can't really argue much about the overall quality of the board, but as it still exist, it gives the opportunity for people who are 3D orientated to find other people who are mostly orientated at 3D and not graphic design.

Due to the popularity of 3D printers right now there are a lot of people interested in 3D modeling. /diy/ has threads regularly on 3D printing, but that doesn't mean /diy/ and /3/ should be merged.

/po/ is literally 3D but nobody's talking about merging /3/ with /po/

photoshop has dominated /r/ for many years. /r/equests for photoshopping flood the board daily, but that doesn't mean /gd/ and /r/ should be merged. /gd/ takes some of the load off of /r/ and is a benefit to users, where /gd/ hosts tutorial threads for people who want to learn to photoshop.

CAD / CAM including 3D printing, are very different from CG rendering which is 2 Dimensional, including CG Video, and Architectural modeling, with rare exceptions.

It's true that 90% of 3D is 2D but that remaining 10% sets 3D apart, and deserves it's own place for discussion. I agree that many users of /3/ could learn a lot from working in 2D, but merging /gd/ and /3/ isn't the answer.

/v/ is on the client side, while /3/ is server side
merging these would be destructive.
As it stands, /3/ game modelers are often berated for their efforts by the /3/ users who just make pretty pictures. Games have to render frames per second, while artfags spend hours rendering a single frame. A compromise of quality has to be made for realtime functionality.
These conflicting disciplines are presently at odds within /3/ and might be better off separated. Keep /3/ for the artsy SFW crowd, but add /3DD/ for the hardcore 3D users.

3D Erotica is huge on the web in both Hentai and Western styles, but theses artists are currently barred from participation in /3/ due to the SFW restriction.

Why did moot make /gif/ a work safe duplicate?

Have you ever actually browsed /r/ or /soc/? When it comes to the erotic section of a subject, it tends to overwhelm other areas of conversation.

I realize you have this strange idea in your head where people come together as scholars and teachers to dissect the art of re-skinning tits on a video game characters, but you should be a little a more realistic.

/d/ has had some fairly good discussion about the BDSM scene, including telling people what to expect, and so on. That's a board focused on NSFW.

Technically /tg/ is SFW, but that doesn't stop the occassional monstergirl porn spam. Which no one even cares about.

The issue is the random faggots on NSFW boards that derail everything they do not like by posting porn. That's why it was banned in /pol/.

daz and poser stuff isn't all about porn, it's just used for that a lot because a)that's what most people are interested in. b)because animating a clothing model in sync with a body is challenging for noobs, but it's easy to pose a nude in poser.

You have probably seen movies that had daz/poser models in them, and didn't even know the were there.

/3/ is gud where it is. GD mixing would be bad because there are too many ass hats with a cracked version of photoshop that feel the need to tell everyone what they're doing is wrong, there is just too much shitposting on that new board already and it would be frustrating if you wanted a thread about real 3D stuff but you can't because there is 20 threads about fonts and what jpeg you've been working on.. A game development board could be a cool idea, juts either make soe kind of sub-board merge with /v/ or... shit... /v/ should already have this covered that board is quick enough

One problem I forsee is that /gd/ and /3/ will have differing opinions on certain software.

For instance, GIMP. GIMP works fine for painting unwrapped models and actually does a few things better than shoop. But for serious graphic design when attempting to make a photo realistic edit, GIMP is pretty lacking. /3/ is fine with it, /gd/ hates it.

I'd rather the boards stay apart for things like this.

I was once like most of you. I believed in 3D like most of you do. More to the point, I wanted to believe in 3D, and for a while I had convinced myself there was such a thing. It's pretty simple x,y, and z right? If only it were that simple, or that complex if you prefer. As a child growing up with black and white television. I knew that a single beam was capable of painting a picture on the screen of a CRT. Modulated to produce shades of grey, pixel by pixel, line by line, forming a picture on the screen. It was obvious at the time that it was no more than a photograph, a so-called 2D dimensional representation, consisting of x, and y.
By that time we were all familiar with the illusion of motion pictures. Flip-book animation had been around for centuries, films were quite common, but aside from a few less fortunate impressionable minds on the planet, there was no doubt about it being x,y,t.

Through drawing we attempt to give the illusion of form by shading. In pic related example, many brainwashed 3D cult members might refer to this as a cube. The artist's sorcery gives that impression, but it is not. His arrangement of 3 diamonds, and use of shading deceives the weak minded. Look closely at what this sorcerer has done. His shading of the diamonds intentionally separates them into distinct illusion planes, each having 2 dimensions x, and y.
No smoke and mirrors, no slight of hand, it's merely faulty wiring in your brain that confuses you to believe there is substance. These 3 diamonds are not squares, simple geometry will prove this, yet you've convinced yourself otherwise, and have chosen to believe in 3D which does not exist, nor was that the artist's intent. The artist would have you believe that each of those diamonds was a 2 dimensional square. Knowing this could improve your ability as an artist, but has this lesson changed your belief system? Are you starting to realize that you have never actually seen a cube in reality, let alone art?

That's not how you're supposed to read 3D.
That picture of yours is as 2D as it gets, allright.

You read 3D through a fucking array, though, not an image.

The purpose of 3D graphics is the end result: the 2D depiction. But they are not one and the same and the distinction is quite clear. You should learn to appreciate the beauty of true 3D.
