I’m not sure if we have another portal person and it isn’t fair to throw everything on one guy. I love this player render idea but I just don’t know if we have anyone to even do it right now. 

Will really came back did a bunch of cool stuff and dipped lol

I wouldn't mind chiming in. Doesn't seem like a hard/unreasonable ask at all.

Yes, thank you @Spartan for adding the render field in the forum profile.

 

However, I foresee this initiative better served as part of the new player creation process. A new member may setup their forum profile and fill in their render, but placing it in the player creation process forces a choice to be made for every single new player.

 

I don't want it to actually be presented on the portal anywhere as it's useless clutter, but simply getting the person's render entry into the forum thread that gets created in the 'Create a Player' sub-forum would be perfect. This makes it both somewhat temporary, and really only applicable to a brand new player. People who stay active in the league will likely update their forum profile if they want to specify a render, but I don't see many NEW members immediately going and doing that.

 

 

I foresee a beautiful future, where VHL gfx people can simply go to the CREATE A PLAYER sub-forum, find a new member who has recently created, and make an appropriate signature/graphic for them, posting it as their weekly PT / VHL.com, while hopefully tagging the new member in the thread so they can see the graphic made for their player, so the new member/person can see the community involvement that comes with participating in the VHL.

 

 

Again, I'm not expecting this to be done tomorrow, or likely at all, but that's how I think this would be perfectly implemented.  Thank you again Spartan for taking the time to half-implement this, as it's much better than nothing.

I didn't even know what was being referred to when I first joined and saw people mentioning a "player render".  I'd say as long as you can skip it that would be fine.  I like how it is now as I don't really care who a new create picks as a player render if they go inactive immediately.  Stick around, fill out your profile a bit and maybe make yourself at home, then we can worry about what player render you think others should use when making graphics for you.

just an FYI that I only have access to the forum change, portal change is over my head entirely and I don't know that we have developer availability at present to implement it, but it's something that can be brought up in the future when availability is there
