Shameless plug #982: 3D Artist Magazine!

Another bout of self-promotion (you love it really): I am great. And in other news:

Imagine Publishing today announced the launch of its new creative magazine, 3D Artist – the first new UK print 3D magazine in over five years.

3D Artist is aimed at anyone who has an interest in 3D art, whether it’s creating it from scratch or just admiring the phenomenal images produced by professional studios. Each issue, 3D Artist has inspirational workshops that reveal how professionals achieve their look, in addition to interviews and features focusing on the most exciting names and 3D techniques.

3D Artist covers all aspects of 3D, from phenomenal still images, right through to animation, game design, exterior and interior visualization and film/TV skills. In addition to speaking with established names in the 3D community, the magazine is also committed to shining the spotlight on up-and-coming artists. For those just starting out, the special ‘Workspace’ industry mini-mag has essential advice for choosing a 3D course or career. This section shines the spotlight on specific university courses, in addition to getting 3D professionals to reveal how they got their break in 3D.

“We are thrilled with 3D Artist,” said Jo Cole, Editor in Chief. “We wanted to produce a magazine that reflected the passion and talent of the 3D community. The result is a title that looks like a coffee-table book but is packed with inspirational advice and techniques for getting the best from 3D software. It’s the sort of magazine that you can dip in and out of, either for the professional features, interviews and tutorials or just to drool over the pages of artwork.”

To help build a strong magazine community, the companion website – www.3dartistonline.com –allows artists to create their own online galleries and leave feedback for other members. There is also a forum for in-depth discussions, and a high value CD-ROM that ships with each issue that features showreels and portfolios.

Issue one is on sale now, boasting a full version of Carrara 6.2 Pro worth £384. To discover more about the magazine, in addition to finding out about special launch subscription deals, visit www.3dartistonline.com.
