I'm missing high resolution images to see more details of your materials and modeling.
But anyway, your work is stunning, I like every single pixel of your images.

Nice one Hyltom! The gallery is looking very good, and obviously, your design and renders are stunning!

...however, I'm not so fond of the tiny pixel fonts with the custom scrollbar that's hard to grab.

Regards,

- Björn

Thanks a lot for all your comments.

I have posted this announcement in the hurry this morning so I didn't not have time to give more explanations.
To clarify, the website is base on a existing layout that I have modified (change the background, some colours...). My knowledge about flash is quite limited so I haven't changed much. I agree with you Bjorn about the font and the scrollbar. I have tried to use another font but I couldn't make it work so I have kept the original one.
About the gallery, there is a mix between maxwell render and real photo...all are not virtual :wink:
Iker & dd, i will try to had some close up and HD pictures...also I will certainly add some small video in the future but for the time being I have to respect some NDA.

The content is really good as always. Like others said the font is hard to read, scrollbar is hard to grab. One thing that jumped out at me is it took me a few seconds to find the navagation bars down in the bottom left. Is there a reason to have it there? Its kind of out of the way and lost from whats going on in the center. Maybe its because my monitor is so large that having it down there seems strange. It does scale closer to the center when I resize my browser window. That is one of the great things about flash is the scaling. Overall very clean and simple which is good :)

I would place the logo close to the menu for example to be seen in every moment of the navigation, because if you are in other area, apart from "home", you can't see "where" you are.

Thanks again for all the comments that have been posted. At first, it was not in my intention to bring any update to the website (change the font, enlarge the scroll bar) as I had no idea how to use Flash and I believed it was very complicated. But a trainee (thanks William) that work with me since few weeks has explained me few things about flash that make everything much more understandable to me. Then I have decided to make these few changes. So I hope the website is better than before.

On the next update, I will try to add the "hyltom" logo near the menu bar...still have no idea how to do that! :?

I forgot to mention, maybe you have to clear the cache from you browser to see the updated website.
During the weekend, i have added the logo as mentioned by Iker...small thing that took me over 4 hours :oops:
My next step is to find a way to add multi-images inside one project in the gallery...sounds like a lot of fun!
