ImagineFX Issue 38

A year ago, I discovered a magazine called ImagineFX, published in the UK by Future Publishing. This editor publish Italian versione of some of his magazines even in Italy, like Computer Arts or 3D World. Unluckily there isn’t an Italian Version of ImagineFX. So, past Christmas my boyfriend payed me a 13 issues subscription as a gift. Now I arrived to the 12th issue and I want to renew the subscription, I found this magazine really useful, full of great informations and tutorials for people like me, that have passion for fantasy and sci-fi art.

Issue 38, which arrives this morning at my home, features this contents:
