I've got a subscription to 3D World, and despite me being a huge advocate for digital magazines (iPad, Kindle etc) I love it. It's always got some decent articles and interviews in. I personally don't ever use the tutorials, but the features on the big projects going on in the 3D world are always an interesting read and it…
Alright man cheers for the input - I know that a lot of tutorials and articles can be found online, but if these magazines are coming with tutorials loaded onto discs that are worth a fair amount then it seems like a decent idea to invest :]

I used to buy 3d world and 3d artist religiously, but now they just gather dust and I think what a waste of money it all is. At £6 an issue its not really worth it in my eyes, I now just pop down WHsmith and have a read through and see if theres anything interesting in them that makes them worth a purchase. I havent bought…
