See you at GDC '08!   Artist Publishing Tip #3: Improve Model Thumbnails Multiple thumbnails are important so a buyer can get a more complete view of a model's qualities. Artists should utilize their thumbnails to display different angles and features, details and lighting. Wireframe views can also show off geometry and precision; some buyers won't purchase a model unless they can see a wireframe view in the thumbnails. The more you can show buyers about your model, the more they'll know if your asset is right for them!
