Compressed with MPEG-4 video and Qualcomm Purevoice for an audio codec.

I appologize for the compression artifacts, I’m running a bit low on server space.

Post any comments, suggestions, corrections, etc.

Remember, this is a very quick tutorial introducing an important new feature in Blender 3D.

Enjoy.[/b]

Compression is fine, Ill be more then happy to mirror as soon as the finishes uploading.

There done ^_-:

Tut does fine

Nice :slight_smile: I missed a few things (nag nag nag:) For one thing, the differences between ctrl+spc and alt+spc (I think you only mentioned the latter) and the options they give you. Like for instance showing the difference of global and local orientation.

But this is great. I think these short tutorials popping up is the right way to go.

Thanks for the feedback. :stuck_out_tongue: I definetly considered showing the distance between global and local, but I wanted to keep it basic. It’s designed for people that are new to Blender.

I have some more tutorials planned:

Creating A Logo With Volumetric Lighting
Modeling A Stargate Parts 2 and 3
Softbodies Parts 1 and 2 NOTE: I know that softbody tutorials have been done already, but I think it helps to see multiple teachers teach it.
Animating A Ship Flying To A Planet NOTE: This is a newby question that gets asked a lot on a fan film forum I visit, so I’ve decided to answer it.

Softbodies tutorials are still needed :slight_smile: Things that haven’t been covered yet are things like jello, and the ability to fake rigid bodies. Tricks like that are nice to know. Only today, I discovered new ways to use it, that I couldn’t do before (nothing new for others, of course:)
