This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Cut it down to 3 or 4 forums and target a more specific group of people. Then give them a reason to join and you may just stand a chance.
Just my 2c. Good luck

If anything a 3D forum with wip, finished work, help, etc sub forums would work. And on the new thread creation page the user is required to choose a software package from a dropdown menu as to what the thread is related to. That way there's a tag on the thread (maybe on the left?) so people know what they're clicking on.
From a design standpoint, I like the graphite look but the green for the borders is really saturated and I find it to be distracting, especially with the layout being so wide, I almost didn't see the white text in it. The wide layout is creating a huge gap between the centered text and the left aligned text, it creates a disconnect. I don't know about the banner text, maybe something simpler, and you need a logo meng.

@DaveRave - If you mean what do I find lacking in SM, absolutely nothing, just kinda wanted something to call my own
@Gonna lump the rest into one (sorry) - Thanks a lot for the suggestions, once again I'll get onit once I'm feeling better. About the theme, I cant do much about it at the moment. They have a bunch of themes to choose from, and you can only personalize it if you buy a certain package (which I'm not going to bother with unless something actually comes of this). As far as the categories go, I thought it would be better to have all the sections right away, instead of trying to expand later, but I definately see what you guys mean about it looking empty and people moving on, and will address that.
Thanks a lot for the help guys

Thanks for the suggestions though, guys. And if I do ever start a forum and go through with it I'll definitely dig up this thread

That's the same conclusion everyone that has tried it has come to.So, I've spoken to someone who had the same idea as I do now, and I think I'm just going to abandon this. Seems to be way too much hassle for no outcome.
Thanks for the suggestions though, guys. And if I do ever start a forum and go through with it I'll definitely dig up this thread
I the only way to make it work is if you have something else that is popular that's linked to it....
Does this extend to your blog?
