Discussion Thread</span> Well, this is the discussion thread for Transparent Pixels I finally got the crew going again. After Whit3 Boi(now iPro) decided to quit the crew, he turned it over to me, but at the time I didn't meet the requirements. Now I do, so I started it up. Thanks to Barbarian for accepting the position of coleader, and to .th1rt33n., .Pulse, and Semper-Fi for being the three needed original members. Anyone is welcome to join if you meet the requirements in the application topic. Please keep all discussion not related with applicants to this topic. Anyways, we're planning on doing things such as render packs and render competitions. You may have noticed I have quite a few credits, and I'm planning to put many of them towards this crew.

Well guys, I have a bit of an idea, but I want to see how everyone else feels about it first. I'm thinking that we could have our crew and everything, and maybe allow 10-15 people, and then have "interns" or something, which we could allow even more people, and the members of the normal crew could help the interns to get better. Just an idea, wondering what everyone else thinks.
It sounds like it's more of a mentoring kind of thing. Is that what it's supposed to be? If you really mean intern, they'd have to be doing something for the crew (like contributing to render packs or w/e projects we have going), as that's what interns normally do at jobs, etc. From what you've laid out so far, it sounds like an Ok idea, but we'd need to know more specifics of what the idea as a whole entails before deciding.
Well, I'm sort of thinking both. Like an apprenticeship sort of. I was thinking like their good ones could go into render packs, or we could have special apprentice render packs that we'd give out free and the others would cost 10 credits or something like that.
oh haha, that too. i meant that we'd do render packs where the apprentices did the renders in them and then give those ones out for free or something. but yeah, semper-fi, i think you have a good idea too.
alright i know we're not a gfx crew but i think we should start out with a little competition..i think each of us should render a picture of our choice and incorporate it into a sig and the person with the best render/sig wins!... just a thought...no idea what prize would b it could just b for braggin rights or soemthin but yeah thats what i was thinking just somethin for fun...
well, were allowed a discussion thing, so im thinking of setting up a forum on my site where we could do stuff like that.
First Project: Render Pack #1 Projected Release Date: August 1, 2007 Info: Basically, you might of read this on the forum before I was forced to delete it, but each member of the crew is being asked to complete 5 renders. Upon completion of these renders, you will email them(not PM, but if you need my email, you can PM me for it) to me by July 26, 2007. Upon returning from vacation(July 26, 2007), I will compress all of the renders(5 * # of members of our crew) into a .zip archive, a .rar archive, and possibly a .tar.gz archive. Render packs will be uploaded to rapidshare, megaupload, and possibly other places as well, unless someone would like to give us dedicated storage for them as my webhosting doesn't allow filehosting. Estimated filesize for download will be ~ 60 MB, quite possibly more depending on if we have more members by then. As of right now, I'm thinking we will release the pack for free, but this might change depending on members' opinions. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me, but get those renders going.
