Sorry about the delay on this one...I imagine the next issue is due pretty soon here in the UK.


Anyway, a great issue if you like modelling animals as that is the focus of this issue.


On the CD:

Furniture models, architectural models, textures and training videos..nothing too special here.


Feature: Model a Parrot in Modo, texture a lizard in Photoshop and animate a horse in Houdini.

Maya particles, Autodesks buyout of Softimage, 3D education feature and not much else apart from the regular features.


For my liking, not a great issue and if I were not a subscriber, I would not have bought this issue, nor did I particularly enjoy reading it.


Still, the 20 years of Softimage retrospective was interesting.


For the Record Maya 2009 gets 8/10, Mudbox 7/10 and Motionbuilder 7/10.


Next issue due here around Xmas week is 'creating creatures with a bite' looks like a monster/werewolf issue.

Thanks for the review Splinters. I've been wanting to model a Parrot so this article might be interesting to me.

We are about 2 months behind so somewhere around Jan 20th I'll be looking for it.

Splinters - you forgot to mention the most interesting feature! :) tS content...


For the first time since I've subscribed (issue 89 or so) they've included trueSpace in the Q&A Section... admitedly the Q&A relates to the Model side not the new architecture but good news that tS is even included! :D


There is a .RsScn underwater foggy scene and a short video showing how to set up the lighting.
