We are trying to get a nice base of tutorials and would love any and all contributions from the easiest to the more challenging Please let me know if you would like to contribute :) Thanks Angel1

Id be really happy to help these poor beginners:) What I can make? Rather basic tuts. Actually, Im working now on a beginner tut written for 2.41 and trying to explain [rather than describe] the logic of Blender usage for a total 3D newbie. This idea come from my problems with staring Blender when I was trying to get into it... Maybe some will find it useful, since most tuts are rather project-based.

Maybe this would be easier if you started a Tutorial Request Thread.. For example.. I'l like to see a good tutorial on getting a soft shadow effect or a way to use the Radiosity render with out loosing your sub-surface or textures.

Silgrin: beginner tuts would be perfect!! Would love to post a few of those :) Let me know what you are willing to do :) Reddog: Will start asking for tut requests when I get people who are willing to write them :) and Yes I will make a seperate thread for that.

I be happy to do some when I can.

That would be great!!! We can use all the help we can get to get this off the ground :)

I made a small tut for someone in the general modelling section. She wanted a poseable vine and she mentioned she had Blender.  We could use it also. I have a question tho. My pictures got squeezed down so much that the pop up text was unreadable. So 1. what is the largest size picture i can use and 2. is there a way to add more than 1 picture?

Is this posted? My suggestion would be a pdf file that we can add to the tut section.

OK thanks Angel. Yes it is posted in the 3d modeling section. I dont have one of those pdf thingies im sorry.

A utility that will make pdf files from any printable document.

Thank you jestmart.

I wonder why all pdf software is so big? I mean a simple app to convert to pdf is larger than my intire Blender 3D graphics suite! Adobe is twice bigger! I will definitely download PDFCreator though when I have the time I am interested in giving back to the community that I have learned so much from. 10mb im sure doesnt seem like much to some, but i am on a 20k connection it will take hours lol.

Thanks again folks

I just got blender a month ago. somehow my version is 2.3x? hmmmm. anyways, I will need to learn this program very soon, but am now working with Illustrator CS2 at the moment.

The tutorials will come in handy for someone like me, down the line.

I learn very fast, so maybe I will write a tut or two later?

That sounds like a plan to me

I thought that acrobat reader let you save files from word, open office, etc. as a pdf file?  Something like you can print on a printer, or print to pdf.  If not, I do own adobe acrobat and I wouldn't mind converting things for people, if necessary

i dont see any benefits in pdf , just make them in html. much smaller and no plugin needed to read them.
