I just uploaded a new series of simple tutorials this weekend for new Blender users. They should help you quickly come up to speed with Cycles rendering in Blender. Enjoy.

Nice work. Really well explained.

Edit: a bit confused by your workflow at the beginning of video 4. When you wanted to mix the 2 colours by texture, why didn’t you simply have the two colours linked like with video 3 and then plug a texture into the Fac of the already existing mix node?

That would have worked as well. I’m always experimenting with different approaches to using Nodes as I’m far from an expert with them. Thanks for watching.
