I am the type of person who can read something a thousand times and remain confused. But if I watch somebody do it just once, I have it nailed. If you are like me, this tape is absolutely vital. It explains things I would never have figured out without a demonstration. In depth... is subjective. It is not a gloos over of the basic features. It goes into some depth, but it doesn't explain the difference between a centerpoint drop off polygonal interpolated spline anistropic phong and a global coordinate quaterminion alternate diffused specular math blender. But it does get into some details about ray tracing and what some of the more confusing options in the various nodes do and what they are for. Including explaining what a friggin node is to begin with. It is not just valuable info on what to do but can give you some great insight as to what NOT to do. That ray tracing bit alone showed me I was wasting alot of processor muscle on entirely useless objects. Yes I would say this tape is a must have for the struggling neophyte poserphile. Personally, I've been using Poser since 3.0 hit the shelves. I learned alot from the video.
