{{{{Posting the rates that the "3D Word Magazine" pays to its writers - that is wondeful, and I hope every Renderosity Member submits an article and gets accepted into the magazine. And I mean that sencerely! However, I am sure that you will agree with me, that comparing 3D World with Renderosity does not in any way what so ever - apply to this situation! You are comparing a huge corporate producted Magazine - to our little community magazine.~~~ Dee-Marie}}}} Hi Dee-Marie :) Its not necessary to be someone special, or have published in the past to get published at 3D World Magazine. I mean, they even took an article from me, so that proves anyone can get a chance ;P And they paid me well enough that my family is going to get a great Christmas too :) They are a TINY little company. I bet Rosity Mag has more "staff" working to put it together than 3D World Mag has :) They don't run a ton of ads and no content... they are one of the best tutorial based content mags out there, all authors paid a decent going rate for their work :) And they manage to distribute internationally, whilst publishing a highly successful magazine on a shoe-string budget, and it all works for them. They are really nice people too, as far as working with them :) They sent me free copies to give to me mum! ;P
