🕑 Added 2023-08-05 02:12:58 +0000 UTCOK, HUGE thank you to everyone for the feedback and advice for how we're going to go about tackling Discord - It is now very apparent to me that organizing and opening a discord is going to be a substantially more complicated task than I originally thought - Combining the votes between Patreon and YouTube ended up leaning more towards "Keeping It Simple", and considering how complex a Discord really is, I also think that's also probably a much more manageable solution as well - So, I've decided at least, for the start, we're gonna keep it simple. From what you guys have told me, if we start with "Forums" we can change it to text later, but we can't change it from text to forum (I think) - So, what do you think about this for a basic outline?

Thoughts, ideas, recommendations? When I really think about the bare-bones of what I think would be nice, it essentially comes down to:
1- Fun place to share what you're working on.
2- Quick place to get some fast easy direction/tips/help
3- Place you can go whenever you wanna see if there are some new "ground-breaking" software and technology that you should really be considering integrating to your workflow.
Those are the main things I'd like to facilitate with the Discord, so, knowing that - What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback - And, just to answer your questions - To this day, my #1 viewed video each month is the "How To Install" stable diffusion video, and because we don't have a discord yet, everyone has to help each other in the comments section - So, I was thinking of having a discord specifically for it since there's such a high need for help there - And, in regards to the new technology - So, I do believe that from this point on, any tech/software that doesn't integrate AI into it's workflow will simply not be able to compete with equivalents that do. The difference in speed between 3D animating with AI in Cascadeur and manually in Blender is a night & day difference in time/quality. And, I imagine it's going to be the same for modeling, sculpting, texturing, video, etc - So, the most important future tech that will save artists time is almost always going to fall under the new AI software umbrella -

Those 3 main ones are good. Though I don't really see the "new technology/software" is the proposed layout above. Or was that supposed to the be AI category? Also, isn't Stable Diffusion installation just 1 of your videos? And currently I don't see really where I'd ask for help. Wouldn't expect it under the AI category. (There is also then a help&tutorial category which makes it a little more confusing). Besides that, the first category is good.
