I am going to save the screen shots if that is OK?

That's what they are made for :)

One general advice: to learn a new program, start with a VERY simple object to get use to the control features so you don't have to wait to much. Move, rotate, resize, motify, re-texture and whatnot until you figure out:

• how things work

• what effects a change REALLY has. You won't see a small texture change one a +1000000 trees eco system, but you can learn a lot by looking at one single leaf.
