I have to agree with Blackhearted and gang. It's a hell of thing to ask for help while dissing the very people that could help you. I, for one, applaud the tutorial writers. It's a difficult thing to write a tutorial that everyone can understand, more difficult than you think. When I was writing up my Pepper's Ghost one, I had to step back several times and wonder if it wasn't too advanced for those who would be using it. Still not sure if I did a good job on it or not, but I tried.

There is the language barrier as well, but the main thing I think is that the tutorials assume, and rightfully so, that you have read the manuals or at least read the section for which the tutorial applies. For instance, in the lighting, tutorials are generally targetted at where lights should go, and how to get the most out of the settings, not how to use the Poser light system which is in the manual. I have read through Syyd's tutorial and found it very informative myself.

So before you go complaining about these nice folks who have offered their time, effort (and even money for hosting), for nothing in return, think about whether you'd rather have a tutorial free world, because no tutorial is perfect, but they serve their purpose, to help all of us be better at what we do and they are the effort of some very nice and very giving people.

Stepping down off soapbox now...
