3D Modder Rankings
Seeing that many things are requested here in this forum, I would suggest extra rules in order to make being an awesome person more attractive, as we want to foster a positive helpful community. Gimmie gimmie gimmie, plz does not really warrant many's attention, so how about the following:
Whenever a community member crafts something entirely new which the community enjoys, said community can give that person 3D Modder Credits depending on the amount of effort and quality of the work produced. These points add up and give optional Forum Badges depending on a person's total score. In that way at least it will be easy to recognize awesome community members easily.
I'd suggest the following guidelines, but as I am not a modder myself, I don't know if these things are fair. Discuss in this thread how things could be improved!
Example scoring:
- 3 points for a base car model + 2 points for each variant, including the base variant (i.e. a car with three variants in total = 3 + 3*2 = 9 points).
- 2 points for a set of grilles or vents with many variants
- 2 points for a set of headlights/taillights with some variants
- 1 point for a high-quality custom badge
With this baseline of scores, other things can pretty easily be judged. As no single entity should be the judge, and no incompetent person should be the judge either. I would suggest that only 3D modders can give out these points and at least one other 3D modder has to agree to the scoring. We want to keep the quality high. Whoever has more than a certain number of points in the rankings is counted as 3D modder. This means the quality control is built into the system and scales well with the general interest in it when more and more 3D artists join the community. Initially we would designate a few people who already have proven themselves to be able to "give points" to others.
Alright, so what do you think of this system? What can be improved? Is this something you guys want? Also, who can make some appropriate forum badges for this (for some points )?
Cheers!
