Thought i'd better start my own thread for this, rather than hijacking someone's.
Sorry if you already saw this below.

I noticed comments on the lack of Vue Function Editor tutorials. I'm not super expert in that editor, but know enough to get you started. So, here they are (from Vue 5 Infinite):
http://www.art-head-start.com/free-stuff.html

'Vue Function Editor Basics 1': Intro, jargon, the GUI, using a math function to make a simple material for a sphere, how some function nodes won't work with others.

'Vue Function Editor Basics 2': Review, Inputs and Outputs, 'Black Boxes', why some Nodes won't play nicely together and how to get them to behave, flavors of Node Values, adding a Combiner Node to add your effects together, intro to Noise Nodes.

Please refer to your Vue manual to explore all the noise and other node types available and how they look. Many are available in larger color images at 'The Vue Function Project':

Also please let me know how i can improve these. Hoping to provide downloadable versions soon (they are very big though!). So far, streaming from my web site only.

Enjoy!
