EDITORIAL
Welcome to
3DCreative Issue 7.
This month we feature
the penultimate
instalment of the ‘3D
Environment Lighting’
tutorial series, so
be sure to lip to the
back of the magazine
to check out how to
light an interior scene
by candlelight! If
you’ve missed any
of the previous parts
of this series, don’t
fret - you can pick up all the back issues of 3DCreative Magazine here:
.
Tutorial-wise, we also have
a couple of other treats for you this month, of course; Wayne Robson
has written a great little tutorial on his ‘speed sculpting’ techniques in
ZBrush, which is a deinite must-read, and the talented Gavin Goulden
has also created a special tutorial for us on how to create a next gen
character (part two will follow next month)! Both are great reads - check
out the page numbers for this month’s content on the right! We’ve also
put together a great variety of interviews for you this month, featuring
the extremely talented James Busby from Ark VFX, as well as two rather
different studio interviews; we talk to the co-founder and director of the up-
coming animation studio, SOFA Studio, and we also catch up with Darrell
Ratliff from the architectural visualisation company, Paciicom Mulitmedia.
So be sure to check them all out whilst you’re taking a breather from all
that hard-core 3d-ing this month!
Enjoy this month’s issue! Ed.
