Attached Link: C4DCafe Tuts
I find myself that speed modelling videos are next to useless, I often can't see what the modeller is doing, as the quality of the video is fuzzy, and/or he's selected 3 things before I can see where the cursor went for just one of them, and besides that I have no idea why he's doing what he's doing, so even if I could follow it at the speed it's going, I come away with a panic striken feeling.I do understand that a video showing proceedures in 3dsmax can be similar to processes in Wings, but when things are in totally different places and called by totally different names - it's just adding to the confusion.
YouTube vids may be interesting to watch as entertainment but are usually way too fuzzy to really distiguish what's going on as a tutorial.
I can however recommend one lot of tutorials - but only if you happen to have Cinema4D, and these are the 3DKiwi tutorials, he is so clear and his speed is not slow exactly but he makes sure you can see where his cursor is and explains why he's doing it... He just makes it all seem so simple. And following these tuts - is!
Having had to reinstall everything I'm off to re-download his tuts and start following them again, it's been a while since I did much with C4D.
3DKiwi's tuts are at C4DCafe: you have to be a member but it's free to join, or I wouldn't have been able to... (see link)
I agree that some of Rendo's and Daz's tuts are good.
I'm going to take a look at those mysticnights hexagon tuts that you mention, it would be so nice if I finally found something to help me understand that prog. The interface is so confusing.
Thanks Connie for the links.
