I’m VERY new at Blender but found an interesting site that may be of interest to some of you:
ftp://ftp.newtek.com/multimedia/movies/w3dw/WV_LightwaveTraining.html
These videos pertain to the software LightWave but the discussions about 3D in general can probably be utilized in other software such as Blender. They can be downloaded as .Mov files and watched at your leisure.
