Need Ideas and Opinions for Chaossquid!

[instinct]

Hi everyone,

currently Chaossquid is almost stalling due to many reasons. Tho i was very busy at work i have thought about it a lot. I got 2 days off currently and will rework it. Add a new template, update the components and make it more featurecomplete. But i think we have a problem with beeing so "closed" as this puts a lot of people away that we could benefit from. I understand that a lot of the contributers do not want their Assets shared amongst warez users, so my proposal would be a kind of "dual access" scheme. There could be a private area that is limited to proven legit vray users, and a completely public area for everyone to contribute and benefit. Would that still be okay for you ppl ? What are your thoughts on that ?

Regards,
Thorsten

Marketing is a big one.

When I wanted to use it the other day it took me 10 minutes to find a link to it, so I cant imagine many new people are going past it on a regular basis.

a lack of uploads isn't helping.

back in my accurender/accustudio days a great way to get uploads was for a competition to see who could create and upload the best items, with prizes supplied by sponsers.

good points there. Actually i just thought about the name as well...IF it is taking up a lot i wonder if the turbosquid ppl will like it that way..

well there is no problem using blahSQUID , as the squid is a general tech nerd term for a cache of things, like web cache or in our case a model cache, so unless you call it something like terbohsquid you should be just fine
