Better Channel Name for Setting up external assets for use in Unreal

[sonic breach]

I feel like im asking things like how to best set up textures, rigs, models ect in a channel that loosely meets criteria

[wind sequoia]

#graphics #animation ?

[sonic breach]

I just checked the graphics description and I didn't realize that with the name of graphics that it was the channel i was looking for. If anything maybe the name should be changed because it wasn't intuitive to me but it could just be a me thing of course

[tiny steppe]

I'm a bit lost as to what's confusing?

What would you call textures, rigs, models if not #graphics ?

The description seems fine imo

[sonic breach]

When i see graphics I think of rendering, post processing, and other screen based effects, not so much objects in the game world. The description is fine once you read it but with so many channels one may not go into it and check it, especially when they expect it to be something else.

[tiny steppe]

Those things are certainly also #graphics but I don't think that most people would think #graphics means only post/screen effects

[sonic breach]

Maybe most people do or maybe not like me, and again the other part of it would be that of their was something more about setting up before entering unreal. The unity discord has a channel called art-asset-workflow which just simply makes sense intuitively to what you would think it is

.... and again the other part of it would be that of their was something more about setting up before entering unreal. ????

Our channel has a more general name because it's about more topics than the very narrow niche of the "art asset workflow"

[sonic breach]

I don't think it's that odd or niche if the unity discord also does it. If it is though and you want to include it in another channel that's fine, just that the channel name may not be intuitive that that is where it would be discussed.

I'm just giving my own feed back. I think the name is fine. Neither of us run the server

[wind sequoia]

Unity does a lot of things. Doesn't mean we should copy them. 🙂

[sonic breach]

Yeah but it doesn't mean we shouldn't either if it can benefit the server

[wind sequoia]

Well, no, people do ask every so often and we direct them to the rigth channel.

Then again people still post unreal feedback to this forum instead of just server feedback and it hasn't been renamed, so..

[sonic breach]

Yeah and if people need to be redirected or are posting in a wrong channel then maybe renaming or something else should be looked at to fix the problem

[wind sequoia]

Unless it's like everyone doing it, they are unlikely to view it as a problem.

[sonic breach]

Yeah but might as well try for change by asking, never know till ya do and all that

[wind sequoia]

Oh absolutely. I'm not trying to discourage you from giving feedback!
