Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hello there.

Here is our new web site.
http://www.untothislast.co.uk/
Entirely made with Maxwell render beta, exept home page.
We are not satisfied with most renders, will have to work more, but for us it is quite a step to be able to produce realistice images economically.
We manufacture to order, so most of product display were never actually made.

Looking forward to the release to improve the general quality of the pictures.

C&C welcome.

Olivier

Edit : site corrected - broken links fixed. 12/11

great site and render !
i am not sure about the images size. they're not always the same and explorer reduce the size automaticaly with bad quality.

sorry for my english..

Terrific renders! I don't understand why you're not satisfied with them. One critique could be that you could have slightly colored lights in some of them to provide some variation, but still they look very good.

Btw, your site doesn't work with Firefox.

Very cool:

very good work, most of them are great renders. one minor critique: some images look a bit too much denoised, maybe you should have let them render longer (they don't quite match the overall quality).

and yes, as mihai said, firefox doesn't open anything apart from the main and catalogues pages. i had to use explorer, which is something nobody should ever do.

great stuff, i guess i will be the first greedy one today, ever think of offering the models up for others to use in their images, great way to market your product, they wouldnt have to be for free you could charge for them

Truly outstanding! Congratulations!

Great stuff Olivier, a bit more color might add to the athmosphere.

That website seriously needs a makeover though, especially if it's business related. The markup is cluttered over a huge area and not w3c conform.

Hello All,
Thank you for comments, sorry for firefox problems, will sort out.

I am not a web specialist (as you have seen) , What do you mean exactly ?

Thanks.

Very nice work. I like it. The rendrings looks great. Gratulation.

nice use of maxwell

Very good site and rendering.

Especially 3 images on the top page are so cooooooooool.

But I can't find the [home] button anywhere.

Nice renderings. But you could use a better studio lighting setup, some pictures have to many and to dark shadows.

Regarding your website, you should think of buying a newer webeditor, Claris Homepage is a bit to old for some browsers; or better said, some browsers are not able to work with simple plain old webcode.

Yep pretty ambitous...nice too see, and its looking good...some nice designs in there, too...

the image-maps lack the file-extensions - oh ooh

The World Wide Web Consortium (short w3c) releases webstandards to unify the way webcontent is presented. Since they don't have political power per se, it's a mere recommendation but many webdesigners follow their guidelines (WaSP might of interest to you too). The wiki on web-browsers might clarify a bit why those guidelines became so necessary.
The problem with IE is not that it displays false html and css correctly, but that i displays correct one wrong. This forces webdesigners to knowingly include errors, so called hacks, into their websites to support the broad majority of IE users, who have no idea about their browsers' shortcomings.

Writing the few HTML tags yourself and add a shared CSS file would imo be the best way to get an interoperable site that supports and looks similar on other common browsers like Firefox, Opera, Safari (Apple is big among artists), Mozilla, Konqueror, Omniweb, Lynx, Camino etc. and is smaller in size while looking exactly the same (if you wish so).

You can use tools like HTML Tidy and validate your (X)HTML and CSS online to assure flawless markup. Webdesign programs that parse the code for you are usually a worse choice sicne they tend to make the site unnecessarily bloated due to their lack of AI

I hope that cleared things up a little, i'm sure you can get a new site with your great content up and runing in no time, HTML is just a bunch of tags, no rocket science.
