3D World just had Shade7 LE not long ago. I pay $15 an issure at B&N or Borders in the US. They have special subscription rates once in awhile, was just $88 not long ago. Also, you can buy back issues from the publishers for $8 US...it takes 3-4 weeks to get them, but that's way cheaper than the newstand.

Another mag that is real good is Imagine FX...its mainly 2D, but does cover some 3D stuff as well, and it will definitely help you out with your post work, which more than likely you will do at some time, or probably all the time.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
