Hello and Happy New
Year to all of you
from all of us behind
3DCreative Magazine!
We trust that you all had
a great Christmas, and
we hope you’ve all been
readying yourselves
for our all-new tutorial
series, as our ive new
artists, each specialising
in either 3ds Max, Maya,
Cinema 4D, LightWave
or Softimage XSi, have
been working hard to
kick 008 off with a bang with a fantastic car modelling tutorial series on
the supercar, the Bugatti Veyron (tutorials start on
PAGE 125
). A personal
favourite of mine this month is the article on the two amazing Snickers TV
ads: “Race” and “Robosoccer” (see
PAGE 39
). The guys from Unexpected
in Germany have written a fantastic article on the making of the two adverts,
which were created for Russian TV, and both the ads and the Making Of
movies are available for download at the end of the article, so please don’t
miss them as they’re really quite something!! We have two great interviews
for you this month, as always, with André Cantarel and Herbert Lowis, as
well as our regular Galleries and Making Ofs. If you were following Wayne
Robson’s Post Production tutorial, which started last month (
ISSUE 028
),
then make sure you don’t miss out on the inale in this issue (see
PAGE
85
). We’ll have more to come for ZBrush users this year, so stay hooked
throughout 008 and we’ll do our best to keep providing your eyes with
treats and your skills with workouts. Enjoy this month’s issue!
