Techniques and Tutorials
For those of you following any of our 5 SwordMaster tutorials, you may or may not be happy to know that this is the final part! Well done for those of you who have made it this far and don’t forget that we would love to see your finished textured models, and also listen to any constructive criticisms / praise / suggestions you might have for us. Also this month; lighting and rendering cars using Mental Ray. Every month we receive a whole heap of very good car images, some of which just need a finishing touch. Hopefully this month will help ;-) Also, as an early present, we have 4 making of’s! ‘Mazinger Z’ by Angel Nieves, ‘Jungle Mecha’by Jeremiah Strong, ‘Smoking Creature’ by Marco Menco & ‘Thinker’ by Marcin Solarz complete a ‘learning line-up’ for this month.

Inspiration
We have been invaded by lemmings…Remembering that early Christmas morning years ago when I discovered a shiny new Commodore Amiga 500, boxed in my living room we could not help but discuss the ‘genre-busting’ Lemmings phenomenon and how it wasted so many precious childhood hours (the good wasted kind). We got in touch with Team17 who have remade the Lemmings for PSP to talk all about it…Interviews this month also feature some amazing artists. Cartoon Character ‘King’ Patrick Beaulieu, Lucasfilm’s Manuel Macha and Emmy award winning studio Shilo Design.

Holidays
Whatever you may be up to at this time of year, sit back and enjoy this issue and we hope to see you in the new year…
