Wow amazing, I am impressed. How did you start the website? On what website? And how long did it take you. I would like to create a website, but not with a forum or anything, just about my stuff. :icon_tiphat:

Well initially when I first found out about the mod team they had a joomla based site. I use joomla for my team's website so I thought I could help out. They gave me the job of putting together a new layout. After a brainstorm session with them I decided it would be best to have a dark colored layout so any content like renderings or models would stand really stand out to the eye. The thing that took the longest which wasn't my job fully was putting the rendering together for the main background. Most of everything was already modeled in the shot except for the scene so they inserted the low poly models and then created a scene. In the final product I had to do quite a bit of additional photoshop work to make it look the way it does now (shown below).

peti, A few tips for you are get familiar with php and html since those are the two you would use most frequently. It was a bit easier for me since I knew html and had a year of C++ behind me php was easy. I don't know how familiar you are with those but if you want to make a website I would suggest getting either dreamweaver or msfrontpage or some equivalent. Seeing a preview ontop of raw code is very useful as you can see how the code effects the page in real time.

Thanks for all the compliments you guys.
