From The Editor's Desk

This week, CGSociety embarks on a two-part exploration of work by Image-Engine on the alien critters in 'District 9', with particular attention to the modeling and animation. Meet the CG artists behind the screens.

Meanwhile, on CGSociety's forums, the latest Hard Core Modeling mini-challenge is to create a Self Portrait in 3D. Recreate a classical portrait pose, or try out your own crazy concept on your own head.

If you like Warren Louw's 'Becky IFX' on the gallery pages of our forums, get a load of his CGPortfolio ! This guy is going places.
