Finally… i have a place to put my things, i worked out some more html, this time to include graphics, bit of help from a nice little tutorial on doing tables and stuff for make shift gallery etc. Its all still in the works and such. But just was quite excited since ive never had my own website before 
graphics are blender and photoshop
love to hear your thoughts =)
( clickity click the pic =D )
wooo… I’ve always liked your work. Did you ever do an animation with Sub Zero? I remember a simple one of him breathing… Maybe he and shinobi should have a fight 
Nice to see the CGTalk thread too! Congrats
thanks man =D
Maybe he and shinobi should have a fight
uh… we’ll see eh 
i still have about 1000000 things to add to gallery =) i think ill do it tomorrow though heh 
Great site, love the design, very clean. Got to say you have some amazing work too, Nessa has to be the hottest blender model I’ve seen.
You’re amazing for your age, definitely have the talent to make it. You’ve inspired me to work harder, especially since you’re a year younger and much better than me. 
Your website looks pretty good. But I do have a few crits, mainly about cross-browser compatibility.
before you get too carried away, I suggest you look into learning CSS. This will make your life much easier.
using Firefox with Adblock enabled, I couldn’t get to your home page. This was just a simple matter of turning it off, and while I’m well aware of the need for ads, this may turn people off. Is there another way you can serve the ads?
-opera with pop-up blocker just wouldn’t load the page at all. Turning this off fixed the problem.
-IE with google toolbar pop-up blocker enabled worked fine.
the images being swapped when doing the mouse over for the navigation links need to be a bit more consistent. The home text moves down, online gallery text doesn’t move, resume and contact me text all shrink to the right.
try to avoid using the “pre” tags for large chunks of text (your resume). It’s not a good web viewing font.
If I wanted to be really pedantic, I’d recommend not using tables for layout and frames at all but that’s just me.
thanks for the insight =D
oki, i have used pre for resume, with a +1 font enlargment. Just testing tk so its easy website name, ofcourse there is no need for ads, nor did i actually know .tk did those =(
but, http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/leewj/web/jd014.html is normal link =)
this is ofcourse by no means perfect, but, i am simply trainig myself in html and such, but more importantly just something that can gather my works, i am very new, but i felt i should try to at least make something as appealing as possible. the resume is only first draft put into html view, there is doc version downloadable too ofcourse. going ot be adding new headers for different pages and working around new fonts etc tomorrow probably
thanks again
i still think your sub-zero is one of my favorite characters done with blender.
nice site, hope you have lots of success with it.
Your work is absolutely awesome, LohnC, and I’m glad more of the world will get to see it. The website is looking very professional already, and I’m sure it will get better yet. I look forward to seeing more!

Well your site kicks the hell out of mine. Nicely done. 2 thumbs up
Nice and clean design!
But I would suggest you use more CSS 
And add something like “table { border-witdh: 0px; }” into your css file, because for some reason the “<table border=0>” don’t work and I can see the grey borders of the table (I’m not talking about the frames of the images, but really the table)
I agree, looks nice and clean. Nice header.
Do you know that at Dot.tk there is a button called MyDotTk. When you login there you can change some settings. Go to “dot tk linker promo” and you can turn off the pop-up :D.
Love your characters, they’re all amazingly modelled.
thanks so much guys glad you like it =D
i wish i new css, and i wish i knew anything really! heh, im really auite new, my father does a lot of web stuff, so i think i may use his wisdome a bit here, but i really dont know too much.
Roger: whoa thats how! hehe thanks mate =)
LohnC,
You have a great deal of artistic talent and skill. Your website looks very nice and the images in the gallery are outstanding. I can only dream of modeling the way you do.
While reading through this thread, Fade and Rore’s comments regarding use of tables and learning CSS struck a cord with me. I use XHTML & Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) on a daily basis. I’ve moved completely away from using table based layout and inline presentational markup for designing sites.
I can tell you it makes it easy to change the look and feel of a website once you understand how things work (or don’t work). I think you could master it over time, just as you have mastered 3D. I’ve compiled some links to help you learn to use CSS.

This presentation makes the case for using CSS for page layout.
This is an excellent tutorial for learning CSS. It is written in a way that is easy to understand. One of the best you will find online.
CSS from the Ground Up
This was the first tutorial I completed when I decided to start using CSS for layout.

CSS Beauty is a design showcase of sites that show what is possible when using CSS for layout.

CSS Zen Garden is “a demonstration of what can be accomplished visually through CSS-based design”. There is a book based on the project.

Good luck I hope it helps!
I like your website and work. I especially like the assassin… it made me say ooh! outloud when I saw it. Very cool.
Better late than never, Nice site and great stuff you’ve made!
nice site looks good no c&c from me. but man i am telling you what you sould make some tuts you would be AWSOME at it with models like that
Nice site, and work, but I have one suggestion. Lose the music that plays. Most people don’t like being forced to hear music when they want to view a website. People are listening to their own music, etc., and don’t really want to hear it. In addition, it’s one more thing for the few people still on 56k to download.
Also, there is a minor typo on the resume. It says “Member of ‘CG Society’ - Australian Chapter ’ www.cgcociety.com '.” Should be “www.cgsociety.com.”
thanks so much for replies guys! heh, i thought this thread was down the hatch so i was just playing around with some things hehe, so exuse the music and such, i infact had a WMP one there before that you could sotp and it just plays for about 5 seconds, so im going to replace it back, if at all.
I think once i have used this to show for my job possibility, ill really look into it all and work on a proper site then, but this one was great practice hehe, and something to compile my stuff in.
thanks ec2 for those great links! and cheers for the typo holla emtilt =D
Hey, good stuff, new old stuff! Lol, I was laughing hard at this:
MotionRide: 24 hour challenge
Started 7 hours before deadline
And then I look at the quality picture… quite amazing.
Most things look good, but one thing that bothered me may be the way the thumbnail images are presented. They could use more than a table in my opinion.
On my website, I presented my desktops on a metal platform sort of thing, if that makes any sense. Take a look:

I agree with those who say CSS would be good for your website. One major downside: Internet Explorer is horrible at interpreting CSS (and HTML 4.1, sadly enough). It is in my knowledge that most people use IE, which makes it even worse. My website doesn’t function too great on IE, but its a mac GUI website, so most of my viewers use Safari or Firefox anyways.
Anyways, good work, can’t wait to see that animation!
(Oh, and I have two friends who own their own servers. If you’d like, I may be able to get them to host any major bandwidth-consumption you need up on the web. Oh, and check your private messages :))
Agreed. IE does have plenty of issues with support of W3C web standards. Many are documented. Position is Everything and QuirksMode are good sites for IE and alternative browser quiks.
