It's back! Now with extra grey!

This is the forth iteration of my personal portfolio website. It's a radical departure from previous versions, being a lot darker and moody (a sign of my advancing years perhaps?).

I decided to scrap Robbie the Robot from the homepage: not an easy decision, as he proved very popular. The biggest problem was that people would keep asking me "why doesn't he do more stuff?". It was all about file size... I simply couldn't import all those 3DS Max frames without blowing out the size. Shame that.

I've also increased the prominence of the Shop section, mainly because it's a nice little money spinner (yeah, I was surprised too!). And it gives me a good excuse to wade through the Sideshow website each month.

So, I hope you enjoy ai2.4 — if you spot anything loopy, let me know.

 

Cheers,

Version 3 of ai2 turned out to be hugely popular, and still rates as the one of the most visted sites on Coolhomepages.

 

Version 2: Robbie first makes an appearance and I get all verbose (text stuff everywhere). Still, not a bad effort.

 

Version 1... ummm... I guess I was trying to be too clever. All that Flash... makes my head hurt thinking about it. And it wasn't exactly the subtlest colour palette...
