I have to say I do like his old pages better, but it's pretty cool. I just liked the old interface on the HMTL page. Never visited the Flash version much.

I like Anders, have for years. The thing is, he lives here in Sweden, same as I do now, but *way* up in the north of sweden. Kind of a bummer, we've never yet gotten together, though we've planned it several times. (My fault, probably. Flaky flaky.) One of the things I like best is that he's a swedish designer yes, but his designs don't follow the usual swedish mode, flat, clean and distinctly *not* 3D, heh. I like this new site.

Well, I was about to say that I like the site. Its not my type of site but its obviously a nice site and you cant take that away from him. Why does he hafta launch a new window though when you click on something. Grrr. Grrr at you Anders, but grrr in a good way <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif"> Even with the launched windows its a nifty site, I do like the older one a little better though.

He does kinda have pretty crappy tuts though. They're just not as good as the Docs, Phongs or Marks.

Yeah, I thought that too. Great site but the tuts aren't exactly the greatest. Plus he uses a lot of filters which I don't own. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/frown.gif">

I would love to see a tut on how he makes those delicious jewels in his interfaces.

Haven't even looked at his tutorials. Mebbe he's savin the good stuff for the CD he's hawking, cha-ching.
I'm impressed with the menus that jump out of the green shiny thing, hard to beat menus that jump out of a green shiny thing, I think lynda.com has a whole DVD devoted green shiny popping menus or something. Maybe not.

I would never buy his CD. He's a great designer and all but the majority of his tutorials consist of using plugins which like someone said I just dont have and why would I want a tutorial on making glass using a third party filter for glass? Makes no sense at all. On the topic of CD's did anyone purchase DBM's CD? I heard such bad things about it I was just curious if someone here had it...

I didn't buy DBMs CD, but I bought the Andy Art CD a long time ago. I may buy the Qvicker CD. I like to buy things that support the artists that I like, I buy art prints the same way.
Who knows I may learn something new that I hadn't thought about before, or by going through the tutorials, I may see something in a new way even if it does use third party filters. I don't like tutorials that are poorly written, have spelling errors, or perform no real function. Those really pi$$ me off.
As far as the DBM CD, I might have bought it but I've no idea if Mark is a web artist (he doesn't *do* web design), or a radio personality, or a musician, or what the hell he does. I can't put my support behind him. He rarely speaks on his forum, doesn't *do* feedback, I can't figure him out. I like Phong, (even though he needs a kick in the inspiration gene), and if Phong were to make a CD (even if it sucked) I'd buy it because I want to support him as an artist. We as artists need support from our peers more than from the public. I usually find myself designing for designers than for the general public.

Wow! Anders is back? Great. Gotta check it out.

The new design is great. I love it.

Hey, I wanna do a CD too!!!!! Hmm, what could I put on it, though? Everything I do that I think is worthwhile, I post on the net, hrmph. I've often thought that if I ever get three months (or 6 months) off, I mkight take the entire OZONE website and make all the bits and pieces work without a browser, instead do them as a Director production. That might actually have some value. Until I actually *do* have something that's big and new enough to have value all by itself, I probably won't do it as a CD. Personally, I don't think I've bought anyones CD yet, I have a hard time picturing them not being exactly like their websites.

I love Qvicker's stuff. I've had Qvicker in my favorites folder ever since I first saw it. For what it's worth, Qvicker, you got my admiration.
