Yes, you are right. Issue 43.

The "package" is called Cinema 4D XL 6. You find more info and a

downloadable demo at http://www.maxon.de/ They also have

English/American pages, which should be accessable from the main page.


IMHO, Cinema 4D XL is one of the best 3D-programmes (of the mid-prize

category) I ever saw and worked with. Also it is much cheaper than 3D

Studio Max and faster when rendering. And it also runs on a Mac. ;)


> Anyone get Computer Arts - is it a good magazine?


Yes, definitely, I am a subscriber even when I am living in Germany

(It is cheaper to subscribe and receive the mags via postal service

from the UK than buying it in Germany. It is also hard to find.).

Germany does not have any (good) magazines on "computer arts".


The costumer support was a bit sleepy lately, but they got better. ;)

Both platforms get their space in CA. Every issue, it also has

tutorials in the magazine and the files on CD. Mostly, it deals with

all aspects of computer arts and design.


BTW, if you subscribe now, you get 4 issues for free.

Oh, it seems I should contact them and ask for a advertising gift... ;)
