OTOY Forums

Hi guys-
We've recently uploaded a new web site for 2014. I thought I'd see what you guys think of it. Almost all of the newer animations and renderings are Octane renders as I haven't touched anything else in the last 12 months. Our new reel is coming this week too.

This is a "one page" sort of scrolling site. Take a look, browse around and let me know how you like.

Thanks so much!

BTW- Seems to work best using anything BUT Chrome. (Don't get me started..)

Nice responsive layout! =)

haven't tested on smaller devises (like iP..) but at least from scaling down browser on my desktop notised that some wideos remain original size, what is not so useful when viewing small screen..

bit slow load at first, but I gues this is understandable considering all the info on one page, but maybe some optimisation could be done?

Biggest issue (not the visual one) I see with the websites structure - for the sake of SEO, You'd probably want to make a bit more inner landing pages with internal linking so the website would be seen by spiders/crawlers.

Anyway, overall really nice page with high end info
Nice to see companies putting Octane in production!

cheers

The side loads very slow. On a 2k connection it takes approx 10 seconds until the first content is shown.
If the site is Wordpress, you could try "w3 total cache" or else to make ist faster.

I checked on Chrome. The Videos resize correct here.

cheers,

not all, I'm on chrome too =)

loading time is a pain in.. for one page sites & the best You can do is simply optimise the content..

ok my opinion.
You have nice content but I don't like the one long page format.
For me the graphics were overpowering - too large. I know this is your work and you want to make an impression but it is too in your face. Just a little toned down and some white space.
The images used in the first landing sequence don't really have an interest point . I found myself defocussing on the middle of the picture and then moving and refocusing on the words which were too large to read easily.
The demo is nice but a little long. There are some more attractive bits than the one you can see in the title shot of the shattered letters.
The portfolio would be better broken into two pages of 12.
HTH
BTW You do nice work
