After an overwhelming response to the "Split the Category" discussion, I'd like to share a proposal for a new gallery layout with you all, to get your thoughts and feedback.

While the majority of people did vote for a split, A substantial number voted against, and a few very important points about not fragmenting the community were brought up.

From rummaging through the gallery and reading (and re-reading) everyone's replies, the issue seems to be finding things in the current gallery structure. So, instead of further fragmenting the community, we've restructured the gallery layout to make it easier to find what you're looking for.

Everything will STILL be under the 3-Dimensional Art umbrella. Daily Deviations will still be selected from all subcategories of 3-Dimensional Art.

Once we have the restructure organised, the next thing we'll do is start a discussion answering some of your questions on how 3D Daily Deviations are chosen, so please hold off on discussing them here.

If we can keep the discussion organised, I'd like you guys to comment on the following (though other comments are welcome):

:bulletgreen: Are any categories confusing/Can you suggest better naming?
:bulletgreen: Is this an improvement on the existing structure?
:bulletgreen: Should any categories be added or removed?
:bulletgreen: Any other feedback?


The stuff in brackets is just descriptive and won't be in the final title (though they'll all have a description).

Here's the structure we've settled on so far:
  • 3D Art
    • Sculpting Any finished 3D sculpt (mudbox, zbrush, sculptris etc)
      • Characters

      • Beasts

      • Robots
