Yeah, a lot of so-called tutorials have that problem... Another type of non-tutorial I've learned to avoid are the ones that don't actually show you how to build something, they just tell you how to duplicate it... "Place your next 115 polygons using the following vertices: X, Y, Z; X, Y, Z; X, Y, Z; X, Y, Z; X, Y, Z; X, Y, Z; ad nauseum" Who models like that? Fortunately, there are still plenty of tutorials on the web that actually teach something and they're worth the search. I've learned more from tutorials available free on the web than from any other source of LW education.
