Cover: The cover is by Todd Sheridan of GlyphX, Inc., done with 3D Studio r4 (DOS). On pages 20-21, he explains how he sculpted the cover model in Plastilina clay, digitized it, cleaned up the wireframe, and applied exact and subtle mapping. He includes a stereogram made from the same model and, on page 36, explains how you can make your own stereograms.
___ This is Todd Sheridan's second cover for 3D Artist. You can see a lot more of his work at http://www.itsnet.com/home/tjsher, one of the best artist gallery sites on the Web.
___ W.A. Steer's site with such valuable info and free software mentioned in the stereogram article is now (1998) www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucapwas/stereo.html.

Errata & additional info:
> page 19: Correction and additional info to Infinite Textures article.
> page 23: See author Joel Bellucci's 3DA Byliners listing for his current Web address.
> page 34: In the LightWave 3D v5 first look by Alex Kiriako, insert the word "point" into the sentence, "Another modeling feature I'd like to see is the ability to name point selections, and then be able to reselect them by name." Reader Susan Ishida correctly points out that LightWave Modeler does have the ability to handle named Polygon sets (in the Display/Stats panel).
