A masterpiece! Wow. I love your work. In fact about to be purchasing something from gamesitetemplates.com for my site. I have to say I'm a real fan of your designs, they embody everything I think the web should look like. It's unfortunate that less people feel this way & continue designing horrible, boring, ugly websites & stuff like web 2.0 designs are the most popular. Really sucks, especially when stuff like this can be made! ^_^

the design is amazing i love it I really do the only thing that I see as a downside is the buttons I would change the sharp edging and color contrast make something less boxed I mean the website template looks great but all the of the text and buttons make it have a year 2000 feel so if you changed the font type font colors and button design it could be perfect.
Other than that I love the design and I hope you like my insight

Cool to see it on DA!

This is great work. I'm particularly interested in your design process however since I went from programming 3D games to web design. Let me try to figure this out:
1) You draw the layout on a piece of paper (concept art).
2) You then create the 3D models in a 3D design application such as 3DS Max/Maya/Lightwave.
3) Then you render the 3D models to a 2D image by positioning the camera directly in front of it.
4) You import that image into photoshop/flash.
Am I right? I would say using a 3D application is extraordinarily advantageous since it makes your site look different from the 'competition'.

right on target man, yeah the 3d make it a bit "unique" i guess, but it's a very time consuming/expensive way to design.
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
Time consuming, but worth it, I'd say. It makes a huge difference. I'd wondered if this was how you were doing it. I actually have been trying to teach myself how to use 3D software such as mentioned, because I want to make incredible stuff like this.

Care to recommend any books or tutorial websites that are geared towards the development of 3d web design?
I'm extremely curious about 3D web design as I think it's the future. Call me crazy I guess.
