do you also allow people to sell there ? you could say allow users to sell but by agreeing you take a percentage of their sale for using your web services @Wjbender: Yes. I just have to update my EULA first. I really hope you figure out the real terrain and the like.. that would be very cool to see! @DLively, I like the frontpage, the other things could use some work. Some pages are not consistent, the different pages differ from style. Also some text is a bit hard to read. Never do black on a dark background (dark green in this case). I would make all the text black except the title+subtitle of the site (the one in the top left corner) and make the background completely white like you did on the news section. Lastly change button appearance when the mouse hovers over them tongue . So in short, I would suggest making the 'shop' and 'free' pages similar to the frontpage. gl and good job so far laugh
ps: I like the first pic with the editor stuff. @Reconnoiter: This is awesome feedback. Which pages do you find inconsistent, more specifically; which two pages are you comparing? In short; The main page is mainly its own thing. The rest of the website will be similar to the resource and webstore pages. On that note, all resource and webstore pages are consistent with each other.. afaik  And the rest of the website isn't entirely styled yet. TBH, I had an old design and domain 5 days ago -- So on monday I purchased my new domain and gave my website a facelift. By tuesday, I was uploading models again. Its not completely styled yet either  I like the green background, however I'll take some of your advice and change the text color to white instead, to make it easier to read. After reading your comment and looking at the text I have to agree with you its straining on the eyes. and I'll change button appearance on hover .. Thanks for your input and suggestions! You've inspired me @txesmi: Very Nice You're making good progress

I've started a project this week called SolidLayout. It's a layouting engine combined with a custom layouting language like HTML/XAML. The current status is: Attributes are bindable or statically assignable, layout supports two basic layouts: Stacking or Docking. Here is an example of how to declare a UI layout as well as how it looks:
# Demo Layout
DockLayout {
Widget(dock=right,width=50,height=100,color="#0000FF",horizontalAlignment=right);
Widget(dock=top,width=100,height=50,color="#FF0000",horizontalAlignment=right);
StackLayout(dock=left,stackDirection=vertical) {
Widget(width=100, height=30, color="#FF8888");
Widget(color="#88FF88", horizontalAlignment=right);
DockLayout {
Widget(dock=top,color="#000000");
Widget(dock=top,color="#444444");
Widget(dock=top,color="#888888");
Widget(dock=top,color="#BBBBBB");
Widget(color="#FFFFFF");
}
}
Widget(color="#FF00FF",horizontalAlignment=stretch);
}
 I know the example is pretty lame, but imaging declaring Gamestudio PANEL/TEXTs with a layouting engine with bindings of properties via Lite-C variables. Right now the project has no Lite-C compatibility or even windows, but those will be my next steps as i think gamestudio integration will be pretty simple, but also useful. I will keep you updated Also here is an example how a Gamestudio layout could look:
# Simple main menu with stacked elements
Blank {
Panel(width=150, height=300, horizontalAlignment=center, verticalAlignment=center, bgcolor="#888888") {
StackLayout(verticalAlignment=center,horizontalAlignment=stretch) {
Panel(height=30,bgcolor="#FFFFFF",event=[startGame]) {
Text(text="Start Game",flags="CENTER_X|CENTER_Y");
}
Blank(height=5); # 5 Pixel Distance between elements
Panel(height=30,bgcolor="#FFFFFF",event=[loadGame]) {
Text(text="Load Game",flags="CENTER_X|CENTER_Y");
}
Blank(height=5); # 5 Pixel Distance between elements
Panel(height=30,bgcolor="#FFFFFF",event=[quitGame]) {
Text(text="Quit Game",flags="CENTER_X|CENTER_Y");
}
}
}
}

would be nice to see that big head leaning from side to side while rotating vehicle fast. It is planned, yes. The engines will rotate a bit too. Thanks!

Which pages do you find inconsistent, more specifically; which two pages are you comparing? , glad it is usefull, I will try to answer your questions even though I lack real website building experience (I only have made a simple site once and did some tuts for lateron). I was comparing the main/frontpage with the other pages. The frontpage had a 'less is more' feeling with most of the text clearly readable (black text on white background = nice contrast). The pictures switching is nice too. Nice logo too, but ugly buttons  (I would remove gradient difference on the buttons and instead go for something simple, maybe black+white, to play it safe  ). I see now that you have added some stuff (/buttons) which makes it a bit more messy in my opinion (is too clustered beneath each other while having a very big empty place to the right that you can use). I do like how you positioned the menu/shop/free buttons at the very top of the page Now the resource / webstore pages. Click on them and you get a similar layout with extra green bars beneath. I would make that white. You can always make eula text bold or color it so it is more striking (/not easy to ignore). Perhaps add some images here like you did on the frontpage for a nice look. When you click a resource, let's say bathroom page 1 it adds additional stuff beneath the page. I find this awkward, I think it would be better if it goes to a new page or places the bathroom stuff more to the top so it can be seen instantly without having to scroll below. Or maybe auto scrolls to the right position. So when you click e.g. Bathroom, you see the available items. What I think is nice is the information given here for each item (preview images, link to watch it on youtube etc.). What I think would make it more clearly would be some thicker border around the descriptions and thick borders around each item (+ a bit more whitespace below and above items). Speaking of borders, the buttons could use some nice solid borders too  . Its not completely styled yet either wink , yes most of my suggestions has to do with styling and visual layout (or whatever it is called) I think, so some points you probably already thought about My experience is too limited to give advise on technical points

Came out looking good, Spawn. This was a good one, I was happy to trouble shoot it. But it was all your framework .
Way to go Bro!

Reconnoiter. I ended up taking all your advice. It actually looks pretty good now EDIT: I'm not sure what Im planning for the empty space on the right. Maybe new stuff... Ideas are still brewing. I changed the layout because the old layout didn't allow enough room for what I wanted to do -- So nothing was planned :3 You are the end user, so your advice is necessary. http://www.cgforfree.comRealspawn: Looks legit

Dlively can I suggest you retake the screen shot on the front page(picture 2), the one of the room. However this time set d3d_antialias =9;
That is my only real feedback, otherwise Great site!
