"Only" once a month!  craksy, have you ever tried to publish something like this on a schedule?  It's a lot of work!

Thanks, Dotan8.  Another great issue.

Thanks Steve!.... yes it is a fair amount of work to pull this together but, without the support of various contributors it would be even harder!.....July issue 4 is currently in progress.

If there is anything forum members would like to see in further issues then perhaps you could email me

Kreator this is the best issue yet. The articles on Anim8orStudios and Polly were great and I loved the tutorial on creating realistic landscape it was amazing, I can't wait till the next issue.

You can use any of those.  Just give me credit and I'm good.
Also, I would HIGHLY recommend you don't stretch the images.  Instead, just give the page a simple one color background that compliments the image.  Kind of like when you view a widescreen movie.  In that space you can then add your text, though sometimes it's nice to have some overlap the image.  Still, the stretching of the image detracts from the magazine in my opinion.
Of course, as always, great job on the magazine.

oh man.  haha. I've been away for too long. I had no idea someone else had picked up the gauntlet on this.  I've noticed you guys don't have the original two issues on your site.  I think i may still have them on my comp, you want me to scrounge them up for you? 

I'm amazed you've been able to keep on a monthly schedule, i could never find the time for that.
