[ Tools I use ]


My Homepage was designed with the following tools:

The Homepage Wizard



     Corel Draw 5.0 , Photo Paint 5.0 & Kai's Power Tools 2.0

In addition I use:

Adobe Photoshop 3.05,  Fractal Design Painter 4.0,  Macromedia Extreme 3D,  Asymetrix 3D F/X,  Ray Dream addDepth,  Ray Dream Designer,  Micrografx Designer,  Corel Xara,  Corel Draw 6.0,  Photo Paint 6.0,  Kai's Power Tools 3.0  and some Text-Editors for the HTML-Code.

For most of the graphics I use Corel Draw 5.0, Corel Photopaint 5.0 and Adobe Photoshop 3.05. In addition I use a really good plug-in for Photoshop and Photopaint called "Kai's Power Tools2.0". With this plug-in I created the rainbow colored bar and most of the headlines on my pages. Kai's Power Tools is the best plug-in I know and contains more than 33 really cool filters.

For the raytraced graphics I used Asymetrix 3D/FX. With this program you can create stunning 3D effects in just minutes. In addition I use Ray Dream Designer and Macromedia Extreme 3D. I used Asymetrix 3D/FX for the gold accents on my lettering on the first page. But you can use every other raytrace program also, like Corel Draw 6.0 (Ray 3D), Macromedia Extreme 3D, and so on.

Most of the backgrounds, buttons and divider bars are created with Corel Photopaint 5.0 and Kai's Power Tools 2.0.

The HTML Code is created with a simple text editor. I use Wordpad in Windows 95 and Write in Windows 3.11. My first Homepage was created with the Homepage Wizard. The Wizard is an extremly handy way to create your first HTML page. The Wizard doesn't support "Frames", "Tables" and other HTML3 features. If you want to use HTML3 features on your site you have to enter your HTML code with another HTML editing package or a plain text editor.
