Actualy now that you guys mention it shouldnt the forums structure more conform to the order in pipeline..
So it would be
new user
general
modelling
rigging
animation
--- afterthis it gets hard to say what the order should be
dymanics
cloth
paintfx
fur
rendering/ shading
mental ray
scripting
api
games
wishlist
on that note we could consider subsections and collapse for example
rendering subgroups
general rendering
shading/lightning
mental ray
Maybe a category effects wich would have
dynamics
fur
pfx
and development wich would include
scripting
api
games
and wishlist after all this not before wich would lead people to se it in a workflow order... No idea of wishing things if you havent examined your entire workflow for example.
