I've been a regular contributor to 3D World magazine since issue 1 which is published monthly (13 issues per year) by Future Publishing, who also make Computer Arts. General content I'm asked to produce is along the lines of tutorials, artwork, Q&A expertise and reviews of hardware and 3ds max related software (plugins etc). Tutorials produced for magazines listed here will be made available free of charge in the Education section a few months after initial publication after the article's copyright reverts back to me. Some websites have been amended since the articles were initially published so may not contain the articles; those which no longer exist on these sites can be found in the Education section.
