3DDCreative is not one I'm familiar with, but I do get 3D World every month... $10 isn't too much, since we pay £6 an issue over here, so the conversion rate sounds comparable. It's geared towards proffessionals and people wanting to get in to the industry, although it has some good entry-level tutorials, too. Poser 6 is occasionally, though rarely, covered in the tuts section, but Lightwave is a much more regular guest.

As to subscription costs for you Yank types... looking at the latest issue, the current rates are $99 a year (which apparently saves you about $95 on the cover price over the period, and you get the issues about 3 weeks before they normally land in the stores over there).

Hope that helps,
