Glad to see you tinkering with Wings3D. The forum looks very nice. Is there any way to add a link to the old forum here so that the knowledge that is there is visible to new users in this forum. I am sure there is a lot of junk in the old forum but I am sure there are quite a few gems there as well. Maybe there should be a section in the new forum for pasting the gems here???

I noticed that there is no AutoUV section in the new forum. That may no longer be needed?

It would be good to have the Plug-ins section in the new forum. I guess that sort of thing could go into the programming section but I don't think new users would ever look in there. Just thinking of where to put my YafaRay thread...

When I hit the link in the e-mail for activating my account here I was automatically logged in. I never had to enter the Activation Code....

Thanks!

I just noticed the Design & Development section. Will that be the new plug-ins section?

Thanks for the comments oort, and welcome to the new forum

Yes, I was thinking that the Development & Design sub-forum would also be the home for plugins. My intention is to expand the topic a little to include feature request discussions. I found that the Plugins sub-forum on Yuku seemed very focused on tool additions. I feel that broadening the discussion to all aspects of Wings could be beneficial to the project.

But yes, you can put your Yafaray plugin discussions in there

Re: the old forum

Yes, there is a lot of good info on the old forum.

Initially I wanted to port everything but there were problems with that. So I figured we could start fresh and port stuff over to this forum as needed. Most info only comes up when people ask about a particular featuyre or workflow in Wings anyway. Plus, it would be far too much work to copy and paste old stuff here which would just sink to the bottom of the forum as new posts appear. So I think we should just add things as they ciome up.

Also, we won't be closing the old forum for the time being either. And once this forum has seen some use, I believe that it will develop its own content.

I added a link to the old forum on the Community page of the home page which is linked at the top of this forum, but I could add a link titled Wings 3d Forum Archive at the top too.

re: AutoUV section

I imagined that questions regarding autouv could simply go in the Interface sub-forum.

I suppose a variety sub-forums could be added as needed. We'll have to see what's needed.
