Hi everyone,
Let me see if I can address the great questions that you have all posted.

hmatienzo : Thank you for your questions of why pay for freestuff when you can get it for free on the Renderostity site anyway.

Answer:
The Renderosity Interactive Magazine, will not be like the Renderosity site.

Due to the nature of the not wanting to give all our surprises away before we launch the first issue, let me just say that all the tutorials, articles, interviews, product reviews, that will be featured in the Renderosity Interactive Magazine will be of the same high quality that we have featured in our printed version.

Exclusive to the Renderosity Magazine is going to be the key word to answering your question :)

Isn't all of the content in the magazine given freely to Renderosity?

Will there still be a print version of the magazine?

Answer
At this time, we will no longer be producing a printed quarterly version of the magazine.

As to the Magazine content as practice with many magazines, the submission of articles and artwork to the magazine is considered a joint service.

Contributors offer us an article or image, and in return we promote that artist by featuring them within the magazine. It is a common practice in the publishing trade and is a win win situation for all parties.

As both an artist and a writer, I know how hard it is to get published for the first time. Being featured in the Renderosity Magazine has helped to promote many artists and writers, by giving them the opportunity to become a published writer or artist.
Which is a very prestigious honor to be published.

Your questions: I make a point of never reading reviews made by ppl that sell stuff for that program, conflict of interest ya know? Talk to famous artists? well, I can do that aleady ya know.

Answer
All of our product reviews are conducted by Renderosty members [Most have been written by our very own magazine staff, and I know none of them are software corporate execs] we do not feature product reviews by companies we may interview software corporate members, in our View from the Heights series but our actual product reviews are conducted by our Rosity members who are very eager for you to know all sides of a products performance be it good or bad :)

As to the famous artist Series I am so very proud of that section of our magazine. Vicki Shane, our star reporter has done an outstanding job with interviewing famous artists from all areas of the Art world. In our recent magazine [Issue 8], she was able to not only get one, but three very popular artists to sit down with her and share their private thoughts.

This was exciting for the both the magazine as well as the Renderosity Community, to have Rowena, Julie Bell, and Boris Vallejo featured within the Magazines pages. Vicki has several other interviews lined up for the Famous Artist series for future issues of the Renderosity Interactive Magazine.

As to you already knowing famous artist, and thus no need to read about them in our magazine maybe we could get you to do an interview with some of the Famous Artists that you know, we are always looking for new areas that would interest future readers :)
