So...
I had plans to do this great, comprehensive, multi-threaded plug-in demo video... but I got held up on another project, so a couple of hours ago I threw on the headset and rambled for an hour instead.
Novice? You may dig it. Semi-pro? Probably a tip or two. Pro? Feel free to tell me where to get off. I promise I'll do a more coherent series in the future. I really want to do one just on texturing. In the meantime, here's one covering the basic basics, like installing.
The full hour video is in 10-15 minute parts, available here:

Just watched the first one. Very much appreciated Mike. I missed that extra settings box the first time around (with verbose export etc) so this is really invaluable.
Cheers,
Dr Merman

Whenever I'm talking about precision, it always seems to call for my inner German.

Thanks very much for these!... How fast is your computer? Renders much quicker than my Spectrum.
