CSS and HTML is all you really need ....or just html if you don't need formatting or don't care about semantically correct code. These can be done in any text editor. The rest is only if you need any kind of app incorporated into your site or to pull data from a database (blogs, forums, chats, stores, etc.). Programming and specialized IDEs are when it gets convoluted...Visual Studio for .net development comes to mind.

What I said was mostly intended to be tongue in cheek. I thought the pandimensional quasi hyperdimensional physics thing would have given it away. ;)

I agree for basic pages css and html would suffice.

I have done some basic some basic stuff up to and including stored procedures. The only gui development app I have tried to use is dreamweaver.

One day I need to actually work on my webpage.

Yeah, I just started re-designing mine. The hardest part for me isn't the coding or the graphics, really...it's figuring out the content/organizing/purpose. Content is king and it really dictates the site's architecture. For example, you could be making a portfolio to simply direct people to that you've already been in contact with. You could create a site to generate freelance work on its own (Hire Me! type of sites). Maybe you just want to include everything to do with you...a vanity site...that includes portfolio, hobbies, tutorials, etc. Maybe that's too general. You have to choose the tone of voice as you write...1st person...3rd person....casual...formal. All valid but different approaches.

I can appreciate the folks that build sole purpose sites- "I'm a modeler, these are my models, these are my modeling tutorials and contact." Easy peasy! It gets a little more convoluted when your career path has veered all across the creative map and you have to figure out the best way to represent everything without losing the site's focus. It doesn't help being indecisive either. Hehehe.

Hi guys

i have worked a bit on anaglyph 3D I could have posted it in a WIP thread but it is more of a gimmick and I actually had some fun results.

On my website is a short anaglyph 3d test which I have comped in fusion ( for some reason I couldn't get a total image straight from Maya through batch instead I got left and right camera's)

I rendered out with motionblur and twiddled with the camera paralax settings to get to know how it works.
It's by no means a finished product, it's really a test .


Below is a still which actually had a nice effect to it

Well since I have some spare time ( holiday ;) ) I decided to update the website again, since the html coded website (bliep)-ed, I have decided to go with Wordpress, I don't understand half of it ( oh god I do hate sifting through php files looking for some context to change stuff ;) ) but I am getting there.
I basically use it as a CMS, since Joomla and Drupal gave me a headache :).

There is one thing I hope you guys can help me with :
If you go to this link :

You"ll see the w.i.p. of Indy I am working on, thing is I want to be able to post on this page ( basically adding some forum functionality) but I don' t know how to do this, I know I can assign posts to 1 specific page, but I want to be able to select the page I want to post at and not on only one, since I will be adding more wip in de future, hope it's clear ......did I mentioned I hate webcoding?:help:

C&C is of course welcome
