I have a lot of tutorials on my site at http://www.reblended.com. I also host the tutlinks page. It’s http://mysite.reblended.com/tutlinks. It’s not my work, it’s just on my server. It’s a pretty good resource. I’m so glad Blender is getting into CGtalk. Thanks.

Hey Modron, would you care to submit your tutorial to the NEW official Blender Tutorial List?

The sudmission form is at http://www.nuance9.com/elysiun/Form.htm

We are still collecting and evaluating tutorials, so the list isn’ t on-line yet. However there is a small public preview at http://www.nuance9.com/elysiun/output/2-3-0.htm
