Well, in that case I feel the name of the group is not quite there yet. There is more to 3D than just modeling. There's texturing, surfacing, rigging, lighting, rendering and of course animation. So one suggestion would be to just remove "modeling" from the name or replace it with "3D Art Techniques and Software", to make it more appealing to animators and other CG professionals - only a small part of this industry is actually modeling. (to be continued...) – hexygen Sep 19 '10 at 1:11

But if we go this far, I don't see a reason to exclude 2D Techniques and Software. I am trying to think of what is best to the people of this industry, and let's face it - we probably won't have enough traffic to justify more than one of these sites. It would be very difficult to proceed with a different site for 2D artists (compositors, illustrators, etc). I think eventually we must have one unified site for all, and since your proposal is much more popular than the other proposal it is safer to go with this one. So maybe you should call it CG as well. We're all on the same boat here... – hexygen Sep 19 '10 at 1:30

FYI, the proposal title has changed (and descriptive text) from 3D-Modeling, to 3D Graphics. Hopefully this will be more clear, to people seeing only the title, what the site is for. Also note that it is still 3D :) Although being more inclusive can be good, I simply think that 2D/3D is a very natural dividing-line for this subject. The software is different, and the issues/questions will be totally different - there's just not enough overlap. – Cyclops Sep 28 '10 at 2:16
