I just got done uploading my first Blender3d tutorial. It includes:
- How to make a PNG transparent image in Gimp
- How to apply the PNG to a plane
- How to UV map the image to the plane
- How to set the alpha on the image
- How to add a Lattice to the plane so you can morph the plane
- how to add hooks to lattice points - How to parent a hook to a bone for animating reasons
This video is set up on Stage6.com and you may need to download the Divx Web player if you already have not. Its like watching youtube with better quality and its all free.

Note: (I know in the video I call the plane a panel sometimes so please forgive me on that one. As far as youtube goes I may post it depending on the quality of the video)
