3D World Magazine Database (and other related odds and ends)
A collection of 3D and Excel related items (believe it or not - the two can go together).

Information
Below you will a list of the contents of 3D World Magazine. This is a must have magazine for any 3D enthusiast as each issue comes with tutorials, product reviews and a CD of relevant content (models, demos, programs, textures). If you have been reading the magazine for any period of time, you may be in the same situation as I once was: a large collection of CD's with no way of finding anything in them without going through each one individually. As there are over 80 issues published (with more to come), this is a daunting task. Not being able to find anything in these CD's quickly makes such a great resource not so great. So from this realization, the idea to list the CD contents was born. But I didn't stop with just cataloguing the CD contents, so with the help of Jim Thacker (3D World’s editor), I also catalogued the magazine contents as well (reviews, tutorials, Q&A’s). On top of this database, I also created a search engine so that finding what you need in the magazine is very easy to do….and all done in Microsoft Excel (2003). Hopefully you will find this useful.
The second link has absolutely nothing to do with computer animation but it does have something to do with Excel and Suduko. If you love to the number-puzzle game Suduko, this spreadsheet will help you solve even the toughest puzzles. It even comes with over 30 Suduko games that you can load and play (with more to come...so check back often).
The other links are to some of my new works created with Cinema 4D and some of my selected computer artwork and animations created in trueSpace.
Feel free to email me with any comments/corrections to the 3D World Database…and of course, simple words of encouragement are always appreciated.
