Hi

You are very talented 3d designer , But i think that You need to make some equilibrium between your great works and your web site layout.

can you elaborate Sultan. Are you saying the site is overpowering the work? I'm not sure what you mean. Thank you for looking.

I mean that the layout devalues your art work .
The website needs to be more alive .

you know, you're right. I guess never really thought about it. My work is nestled too deeply in the site. That should the first thing you see when you look at it.

Thanks for suggestions AK.

I agree with Sultan. I think your intro page hits it right on the money, though. REALLY attractive, caught my eye. I think it would look really cool however, had it been centered on the page. (The intro page) Instead of flush left.

You've got a great use of gradients in the intro page and a good balance of lights and darks. Find some way to carry that across to the rest of the page and little by little get rid of those solid color headers and footers.

As far as your work, truly amazing. You do beautiful work, great renders! What is it you guys use now a days? Does anyone use 3d max anymore? lol

Great Job!

Thank you Sevenlee. I appreciate the input. Your right about the main pages, they are very plain. I'll remedy that the next time I revamp the site.

Most of what I use is Lightwave and 3D Studio Max. As far as the industry goes, Max is the leader for video games, and Maya (or proprietary software based on Maya) is used in the 3D movies. I don't think Lightwave is used that much, but I love it's modeling tools, they're second-to-none.

Thanks again

great 3D art in your portfolio! Speaking about the site, I think it should be somewhat lighter and brighter, as you have mentioned your works are too deep inside for right now.
But the images are great!

It would be nice to see some recent designs as most of the stuff is dated 2003.
