Back Issue CD contents?

[MetalBeast]

Howdy folks,
I'm only just getting into 3D art and so bought my first issue of 3D Artist. The CD was a big selling point for me at my current level...
Looking at back issues on the website (I'm happy to see it's still a young magazine so I haven't missed much) yet I wonder is there a place to see the CD contents from those issues too?

Welcome to 3D Artist

I believe you can find the tutorial files from back issue CDs here: http://www.3dartistonline.com/tutorials.php. For the full CD content, I imagine you'll need to pick up the back issue from the online shop: http://www.imagineshop.co.uk/products_s ... typeID=206 - but they do sell out, as you can see

I'll mention to the team about including a description of CD content on the magazine issue pages in future, as you're right: it is a nice selling point and good info to have available for those looking to invest in a new issue. Thanks for pointing this out

I hope you'll enjoy 3D Artist this year - feedback and suggestions from new (and regular) readers is always helpful!!

Thanks for the welcome and the info.
I'll check out the link.

I second request about adding CD contents to current issue description (like 3dworld mag does).
I have limited funds for buying graphic magazines for example, and very often I have to choose between one or another - so goodies on CD are a big selling point for me too
Thanks in advance!

Hi!

That makes sense! I've spoken to the editor about your request and this is something we can start doing now our new eShop is up and running: http://imagineshop.co.uk/

We've been confined to templates until now which is why we've been unable to get the disc content listed as well

Many thanks for your support!

Would it be great on each cd with each mag to lsit the featurees of all the 3dd software packages. Where does one begin with what to use for what features. What featues does each package have others do NOT.
Where do the prelimi toys begin and the serious software take over to be able to import/export to vdo progrmas. PS Cs5 and all others ?
How can a 200.00 program compete with a 1,000 package when you don' t knwo what to start with


Some super artists and each uses a mrage of differnt software.
So If want to start up and not be limited down the road ; where /what do i Use

Maya
Blender
Zbrush
Daz studio
carrara
silo
cimema 4d
The list goes on each magazine for all as each can export to photoshop; can each make a vdo or export to AE ?
w
Who knows wihtout getting each program. Each artise may have a preference for certain featues but why not least features of some that are not in others making it not expandable to useeable in other programs.

This can be updated monthly on the enclosed cd.
