Welcome
to our second year in business! Last month, along with 3DTotal, we ventured across the pond to attend a booth at this year’s Siggraph expo in San Diego, California. It was really great meeting all who visited the 3DTotal booth, especially our readers and contributors alike. We also hope that this month there are some new readers joining us, as we certainly saw a lot of interest in the magazines and a lot of surprised faces when we explained exactly what you get in this mag every month for just four dollars! It’s nice to know that we are at least doing something right! San Diego was a magnificent place and the perfect venue for Siggraph 2007. A week before, the same convention centre hosted the world famous Comic-Con expo, which we now think would be great to attend next year! Siggraph however, although smaller than Comic-Con, really did put on a good show: booths displaying everything CG from books to emerging technologies; virtual headsets to Minority Report style interfaces which work on the principles of light and movement. I heard (far too busy to see though) that the talks and tutorials given live on some of the other booths were also very good! Overall, we had a very enjoyable trip and hope to make it again next year. You can view the full report of what went on in this magazine. Thanks again. Ed.
