Keep the ideas coming, many of them are good.

If your are not able to attend this Friday's meeting, please let me know what you wanted to contribute to this community. I'd also like a few name ideas from you to be decided on for Friday.

We don't have to have FIRST in the name; it could be an acronym; it doesn't have to be. The name could be made up long as it's coo.

Thanks peeps-

Personally, I would like FIRST to be in the name of it... it'd be easy to remember, and most people already know what 1/2 of it would stand for...

I like TARGA though I think I like it better as ARGA (without the "the"). I also tend to want to stay away from having FIRST in the title. We can always include it in our mission statement but Haveing an acronym in an acronym is a bit much I think.

How about:

ARRRGH!

Advancement, Recognition, Respect and Resources for Graphic Happenings!


Sorry - couldn't resist...

You know just find a word that you like first...then put something to the letters....that is how things like F.R.O.G. and such got started. also, I think it would be good if I were to join. It sounds like a great plan and I can definitely do CAD. I am still learning Inventor and 3DS MAX though. I have a web site too with a friend.......www.rpgwelt.com

it is only 8.75 a year. the only really expensive part will be getting a server. the free ones break down....a lot......there are tons of them but none are very reliable. still it is better than paying the huge prices for a server with not much space.

Hello,

I am definitely interested. I will be at the meeting tomorrow. My AIM screen name is "Neo3DGfx"

[JabzX]

I'm just reminding all who check the boards that there's a meeting today at 11 (est). It'll be on-line. I hope everyone who wants to participate and can come to do so.

Thanks-

[JabzX]

Well, this last meeting was mostly focused on a name and the site/money for hosting.

The majority of everyone seemed to like The G-3D Project or G-3d: The Guild for 3D Design/Development. So thats the name so far unless we vote and change it later.

I'd like everyone to help look for a good (free) server. We probably have it under control server wise but if everyone looks, we might be able to find a better deal.

I'll probably talk about our next meeting (same day and time) later on; I'm quite tired. Start to work on your contributions to this "guild." You will probably get to talk with others in your group to see how they are doing things to get a better understanding on were we are.

It's still not too late to join us. If want to help, contact me.

Thanks-

I forgot to mention this at the meeting.

I fond that while searching for webhosts.

[HUMMERIC]

Sorry i'm so late and everything, but I definately want to join. my AIM is ILuvHummers40 although im prolly gonna get a new one soon. The meetings are fridays at 11:00 PM (est) right?

[Trashed20]

well, i know that you guys said you were going to do a temp site but you were taking too long so i made a phpbb forum that we could use if you want. http://members.lycos.co.uk/g3dfirst/
Organization is a good thing

[JabzX]

Well, peeps, if you don't already know, we need a logo for our guild, so we are having a contest to see who can make the best logo. You have until next meeting (this Fri.) to create a picture preferably in .jpg form. Your imagination is your only limit.

Good luck to you.

[Trashed20]

image dimensions and file size limitations? just os we get the most time put into coolerthings that would work with a site. someone might make a hella-cool logo at 800x600 that is 700kb which just wouldn't work for the standard user. so what should the sandard be?

[JabzX]

There are no set limitations, but I wouldn't recommend something so large, I believe we're thinking of something small and could go in the top corner of our site. I'd try to make something as small as a signature picture.
