Hello again. Thanks
for sticking with
us through our
‘technological transfer’
when 3DCreative
starts to make full use
of the digital features
we posess. We have
a slight delay on
the protection of the
mag but soon we will
have a fantastic new
system to make life
easier for all of you!
This month we are
very pleased that the mag is continuing to remain close to over 150 pages
per issue, and that we seem to be keeing that up! We have a lot of content
coming your way in future issues. I would like to say a big thank you to
all of you who sucessfully unlocked the ‘Lite’ issue; we are testing a new
system which protects the magazines and by entering your email address
you have given us much more conidence in this. Please note that we will
not use these email addresses for anything other than to see how many
of you are reading the lite issues! We also begin a series of articles on
the world of Next Generation gaming. I hope will be of interest to many of
you as we have interviewed some of the worlds biggest and best games
studios to ind out what they are doing. Anyway, enough from me, it’s time
for another cup of tea and I seem to be the only one making them around
here these days... Enjoy! Ed.

ROMAN
KESSLER
Freelance 3D Artist,
Germany. In ‘93
I made my irst
3D model using
a shareware 3D
software for DOS that
was very limited, but I got addicted & started
with Lightwave in ‘97. Since 2005 I’ve worked
professionally as a freelancer. I like all 3D tasks
equally, with little preference to modelling and
texturing. Besides creating client-based work, I
also work on personal animation projects.

is to work more hands on with CG rather than
with project management in the future.
