[patme]

Hi everyone:

This is a site I've just finished, it is about cesar pelli and the petrona towers, the tallest twin towers in the world. Some writen information is in spanish but soon it'll be in english.

I like certain things about it. I really like the intro. Great job on the animations. What did you do the modelling in?

These are the issues I have with it though.

1. The Skip Intro button isn't there throughtout the intro. Think about the people who are visiting your site for a second time, or the people that don't like intros. Basically your forcing them to watch the whole intro if they want to see your site. That can turn people away quickly.

2. It doesn't look like you've embedded your fonts. On my screen the text is barely legible.

3. The main window is too big. You have to scroll up and down if you want to see the whole picture. It becomes annoying when I'm trying to go through your gallery having to scoll for every picture.

4. The design is not much to look at while everything is loading. It's kina bare and bland. But that's just my opinion, I like flashy things, so don't take it personal.

Intro good, but the rest of the site is lacking what you provide in the intro. Spend more time on the site itself and work out those issues as mentioned above. Keep at it!

I think the intro is nice and well done... just too long for me.. and a little boring sometimes.. I personnally would just cut the less interesting parts and add one primary color to the white/grey/black layout to make it more attractive :)

Thanks for your time. Im writting down (and paying attention to) all the things you're telling me.

Someone ask me if I do the modeling...yes I do it and the music score too.

Please keep on telling me what you think about everything the modeling, the intro, the images, and the music score.


THANKS

If you could (A) make the intro interactive in anyway, and (B) make the rest of the site a little more coherently connected to the intro, I think you'd be on to something. But I think non-interactive intros, at least ones that are as long as yours, are pretty dead.

Since you seem to already have the thing modeled in some format, you could easily add something like a rotation widget that would allow the user to see the towers from different viewpoints...

Good luck.

I liked your intro, it's really nice.

And I also would like to see the towers from different points. I think it is a good idea if you can interact with them.

Thats was my question. Whats the point?
I tend to disagree with everyone saying they like the intro. Maybe Im missing the point, but what in the world do all those graphic symbols have to do with 2 buildings? The intro was waaaay to long. After it started I had to refresh to get back to the skip button.
In the site there is nothing to explain what it is. All there are is images. And I dint want to want 10minutes for the videos to load.
The modeling was good though :)
