This issue has *5* articles about how to do 3D freelancing, a report and listings about schools that teach 3D, and much more. 48 pages total, 22 color. If you haven't seen 3D ARTIST, ask for a free copy of 3DA#15. (Outside North America, we request us$2 for postage, or will send a few pages free.) We don't receive messages or E-mail anywhere yet (see below), so send requests to 3D ARTIST, P.O.

We need tips and how-to articles for Aladdin, Imagine, Presenter Pro, and trueSpace, and could use more for LightWave, MacroModel, Renderize, RenderMan, Topas, and Vistapro, plus AutoCAD add-in renderers. We're doing well for 3D Studio, Playmation, POV, Real 3D, and StudioPro, but will need even more as issues come out faster. (If your favorite 3D program isn't mentioned, we could use your help in building a reader constituency for it.) 3D Animators & Artists Exhibition @ Siggraph '94 July 27, 3:30-7:30pm, Clarion Hotel salons 3 & 4, Orlando, Fla.
