Hm, this is actually not news anymore.. I'm just writing some bullshit and refer to non-terragen subjects ;-)
If you haven't seen my new mdbsite yet............
I will still make a new terragen site!

Here is the proof!

August 20, 2003
A dew design is ready, now I
only have to build it...
I think the new, refreshing site ;-) will be online in about.. say one, two months...
If you've already seen my works, and my latest postings on rstiy, You can always visit
Chemical skies...

July 2, 2003
I just put the site back online..(it was online all the time but I just changed index.htm!)
BUT!! I WILL create a new version and NOT update this old version.
I don't know when I feel for it so stay tuned....and visit my R'sity gallery.

Are you getting tired of this ?....

May 1, 2003 - Importand- read!
You will probably have noticed that the last updat was 'a long time ago'...
Now here's the thing: at the moment I have not much time for it, AND I have plans for a drastic change of the site!

So... will this site be updated again??
I think...NOT.

Will there be a NEW terragen site soon ?
Ehm...not a specific site, but a section with my best terragen works in 1024 format I think.
In every case most of the images that are online right now will be gone.

Will MDB's Terragen site ever return???!!?!??!??!
This can take long, but maybe I will put it online again, just like it is now, to view, if you like.

WHaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy????
Becouse my site (including mdbsite) 'eats' bytes!!
I can't affort that right now.

On a certain point this month, the whole mdbsite will be.. WHoosh!!
removed by be, and all you can see then, is this message :-)
And this may take some months for the new version to be up!!).

I will be posting a terragen pic on my R'sity gallery from time to time, click here to view them.


March 6, 2003
After a downtime of the site of more than a month, I finally managed to put it online again.

So there are 11 new images, 6 of them are in the Post-pro gallery !

January 19, 2002

Fixed little fould that appeared when leaving the site. (Found it on other computer)

January 2, 2002

Click here

August 9, 2001
Updated movies section, now with thumbnails...
A new movie will be added on august 15. (I hope, it's rendering at this moment !) Screenshot

August 4, 2001
Changed the size of some images that where worth it. (to 800 x ?)
And some other things...

August 1, 2001
9 new images (2 in post-pro) including some images I did not show yet in case they would be useful
for a contest entry..

July 15, 2001
There is also a movie section, with 4 movies now, becouse I have 10 MB more to waste :o)

July 14, 2001
Yep, the new design is on. I hope you like it.
I don't know.. The menu works fine, but is not perfect. Grm..
Let's say I'm still learning. I can now update a gallery fast, but there are other things now that take a bit more
time to update... I believe... But it's still much faster.

There are several new things:

- MDB's unique navigation system (...) :
Clicking on the left of an image brings you to the previous;
Clicking on the center brings you to the index;
Clicking on the right brings you to the next image.
If you want to, you can navigate from the first to the newest image (or reverse) this way.

- A "more" section with a monitor test and other MDB sites; (....)

- An about section with some information;

- And new images are now directly in the gallery with comments.

Enjoy (or not)
