"A Graphician's Tip Book"
 "A Graphician's Tip Book" is a very well written series of articles, created for every scene graphician out there.Whether  you are an experienced graphician or a beginner, I recommend to read these articles.
All these articles were originally written for DemoNews by Shaithis.Unfortunately I was unable to  contact Shaithis(invalid email)so I asked Snowman(the editor of DemoNews and the main maintainer of  Hornet)  for premission on using Shaithis articles in the GFXZ.The premission was granted.Anyway, if anybody knows Shaithis new email address please forward it to me and Snowman.
