Well if you want the latest software, hardware, and film news, and training then this is a great magazine, but if you are looking for a magazine that really only concentrates on maya training then this isn't for you

there are a few photoshop training magazines out now that only concentrate on training for it, i wish there was one for maya

I only usually get 3d World when there is a good training video on there or an answer to a question i have. A little while back there was a tutorial on how to create a gloss rubber shader which is something that i wanted to do only reason why i got the mag that month.
