Happy New Year and welcome to Issue 025 of 2DArtist Magazine! We?ve gone interview crazy this month with four fantastic artist interviews ? two of which are with Concept Artists for the amazing Guild Wars games, and if you?ve seen any of their concept art work on ConceptArt.org recently then you?ll not want to miss these interviews, trust me! We also decided to give Patri Balanovsky ? one of our Stylised Animal Challenge regulars ? a grilling this month, so if you?ve ever wondered what makes him tick (and win all those challenges!), then check out page 07.
33Mpix \"Super Hi-Vision\" makes HDTV seem downright low resolution

The Japanese government will be starting a joint project with some Japanese companies to develop a successor to HDTV.
The plan is to make "Super Hi-Vision" be available in 2015 - and it will also be promoted as a new international standard. The new standard brings a breathtaking 33 million pixels - more than sixteen times the resolution of 1080p.
Obviously these displays would also work extremely well as computer displays - once graphics cards are built that can drive them... quad dual-link DVI's anyone?
Let's see...
33Mpix * 3 bytes per pixel = 100MB/frame
60hz * 100MB/frame = 6,000MB/sec
GULP.
That's 6GB/sec for uncompressed video at 60HZ!
Hmm... we need fatter pipes. Even with MPEG4 we'd likely need 50-100Mbps for excellent quality.
