So, May is here and in the UK we are having an unusually early start to the Summer. We’re not quite cranking up the air conditioning quite yet but it is pleasant - it’s nice, very nice. It has put us all in a good mood, far away from the doom and gloom of the long, cold winter (apologies to our Scandinavian readers; I know your winters are much longer and colder than ours, but hey, that’s why you can ski better than us so it’s all fair in the end). Anyway, enough chat about the weather; this month’s issue should reflect our happy nature as it is a monster issue, and we’ve gone all out this month. This month we feature an exclusive interview with Marco Spitoni, creator of the newly completed “Code: Guardian” short, plus another exclusive interview with Alessandro Baldasseroni, one of my personal all-time favourites (hence this month’s cover). Lead Artist of 10tacle Studios also talks to us this month about his amazing work. The Tuc-Tuc now reaches the penultimate part, and we hope that all of you who have been following it have improved those shader, lighting and rendering skills! Only one more part to go now before we announce the new tutorials series... A big “thanks” finally goes out to all of you who have sent in suggestions for tutorials. We have an enormous list and we are pairing them up with the best artists for the job as we speak (or as I type). So, Including the Galleries, Making Ofs and the Challenge, this is another great value issue. Ed
