Company Visibility
to 3D Artist Magazine Readers & Site Visitors
Who reads 3D Artist ? The first thing you will notice about the magazine is that one must be deeply, intensely involved with 3D graphics to spend more than a few moments looking through it. Unlike other multimedia magazines, we have no "armchair" readers! There are well over 20,000 readers per issue in more than 80 countries, with about half using 3D graphics professionally, and the other half being prosumers, students, and home hobbiests. A large part of this readership is constant, and another part changes with every issue, since most distribution worldwide is through stores.

The
3D Artists Directory
The 3D Artists Directory, once available only for individual artist listings, has been expanded to include categories such as studios, dealers, training, and services, as well as special support for particular 3D applications and miscellaneous other. Listings are for current subscribers only, one per subscription. If your company has a 3DA subscription now, you can use the 3DAD application form to submit or update its listing.
___
The 3DAD page is generated by software directly from the 3DA subscriber database, so listings must fit the format, and can be only for current subscribers. Subscriptions and renewals can be done with our online form or by grabbing our text-based form.

Sending News & Products
3D Artist is an all-how-to magazine. This tight focus leaves NO room to publish general news or product announcements, nor to publish reviews or profiles/interviews. Our editors, however, do need to keep up with all product developments so that we have the very latest info to include with how-to articles. Some news items may be published if specifically applicable to a particular how-to article at the time. (And experienced neutral how-to writers are invited to include their reviewish opinions in context with their articles.)
___
3D Artist facilitates in its pages a major forum for the readers and staff to present how-to information, and for software publishers and other 3D-related companies to make announcements through their advertising, or that of dealers and distributors.
