Yes I think it is worthy on the cd this month is 3 fluid effects vids
+ 2 others I havent looked at yet. You also get some royalty free textures and models alot. Last month there were about 50 textures. And sometimes you get free programs.

Like truespace 3.
Poser 3
worldbuilder.

ley may be older but worth playing with.

Another mag that is ok is Digit.
last month it came with particalillusion2.
