From The Editor's Desk  
CGSociety takes a good hard look at the massive IP that is 'God of War' with the help of the Art Director Ken Feldman and Lead Animator Bruno Velazquez. The team show us how the development of 'God of War III' progressed from the beginning until now.

We have a winner in the latest FXWars! The NeoRacer mini-challenge first prize goes to Ronnie Ree from Zeropoint Software for his animation. Check it out!

Ballistic Publishing is now featuring Wallpapers of some work from the Massive Black co-founder and d'artiste author Andrew Jones. Put some red on your workstation with creations from some of the best.

There is a new character featuring on the forums this week. 'Cell from Dragon Balls', in ZBrush by David Munoz Velazquez shows his expertise with textures, form and lighting. Nice one!
