Use Javascript ... !!

i peeked inside the code that MediaTemple uses on their site.. there is a link in it to a site wich has a free to use script with comments.. check it out (www.mediatemple.com)

If you have a basic knowledge of Imageready you could also make quite fancy dropdown menu’s and it’s not so difficult, when you have made it you just use Insert imageready HTML

I agree with ‘colourblind’, use good ‘ole javascript!

Hey you know somethin…? I think mediatemple.com and depthcore.com are doin something awesome with their backgrounds…yeah, ADHD in the house…How do you make such stuff? What program?

Cloggin, what are you talking about ?? Could you point it out ??

All it takes to make those 3d abstract images is a 3d program (3ds, Lightwave, etc.), Photoshop, and a lot of time.

underline the “a lot of time” .. ..

yo colorblind ...  at the risk of opening a can of worms…

is there a technique to those images or is just layering in the 3D app. ?

im not into making them, but ive seen them around for years.,..
is it just time nudging objects up and down in Max ?

Well, I like playing with compound objects in 3D Studio MAX, as well as some interesting materials and lightning .. !! .. you usually get the nicest effects by just playing ..

another place to get some cool javascript and stuff is youngpup.

i’ve used fireworks for drop down menus and had some luck with that.

I have an older Javascript animation / Nav code somewhere if anyone wants it. Probably not as good as youngpup or the others.
