A few items that have been bugging me.
1) Link all the Monthly 3D renderings together so you don't have to click back each time.
2) Under the Author's name show which Truespace Version was used and maybe
hardware used also.
3) The buttons at top have no smooth path through your website. Try to get to TSL from main page as an example. Another example: try finding recommended hardware from Main Page.
4) A way for teachers or students to order Truespace from your website. Show license limitations, what ID is needed, how much will it cost to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1. (even in emails I didn't get that answer).
5) Have you tried to locate ProTeam lately? I could only find lessons but nothing about how to join the group. I'm sure it's somewhere.
6) How about an INDEX?
7) You start out looking at features about 7.0 but all of a sudden you'll notice that you're reading about 6.0. (Top left of screen where Caligari Logo is)
8) I have used Truespace from the start (Calagari-Amiga) and want to see Truespace continue to grow. (As Stephen King would write "I'm your biggest fan"....but without the sledge hammer wacking the knees!).
9) A HAIR Plugin (the whole world is NOT using Nair!)
10) The example picture to left of VRay: click, dead link

2) Under the Author's name show which Truespace Version was used and maybe hardware used also.

I agree. I seem to remember when I 1st found the gallery, a few years ago now, that I was curious about the entry rules/requirements & there was something about either including the scene file & a brief description, or agreeing to provide them if asked. There doesn't appear to be any mention of that now.


3) The buttons at top have no smooth path through your website. Try to get to TSL from main page as an example. Another example: try finding recommended hardware from Main Page.

Sadly very true - another example would be finding prices on products that aren't a version of tS [eg plugins]. I discovered this the other day when I was curious to see if the price of tSNet had gone up with the release of a new [tS7 compatible] version [it hadn't]. I found it eventually, but that section of the site wasn't as easy to find as it used to be.

5) Have you tried to locate ProTeam lately? I could only find lessons but nothing about how to join the group. I'm sure it's somewhere.

You'd think they'd make it much easier to find, seeing as it's such an important part of their business model.

6) How about an INDEX?

Are you crazy? If they did that, people might actually be able to find their way around the site. :p

7) You start out looking at features about 7.0 but all of a sudden you'll notice that you're reading about 6.0. (Top left of screen where Caligari Logo is)

Yeah, you'd think they'd have fixed something like that by now.

I have another suggestion for the Caligari website.... how about hosting it on a server that runs faster than a hamster-powered 486 with a 14.4Kbps modem?!

I'd like to 2nd Alien's comment. Why is this site so much slower to load than most other?

alot of old stuff needs removing or updating..like bitmap genesis..that site is gone..the plugin never made it out of beta..http://www.caligari.com/Products/trueSpace/ts5/plugins/3rdParty/BinaryReality.asp?Cate=3rdParty


you can't find things very well here... I once was told three clicks should find you what you want..that is the sign of a good site.. those drop list menu buttons seem to work the best..none on this site..

and now many things can only be reached through the old forum buttons..yes I know, there is a transition period setting up for TS7 ..
