Even before we had any raytracing! However, as soon as I have the time (school permitting) I will be redoing these materials for the "modern day Blender". I still haven't decided on whether to only do procedural textures, or image maps as well, as they will bloat the library. Maybe there'll be two seperate blends. BTW, if anyone feels they have a good material they could donate, you can drop me a note and a blend file!

We need people who'll 'walk the talk' though (or: actually DO things instead of talking about them). If you think you're up to it, go ahead and take the initiative! @Kernon: good points.

We REALLY need to: - gather and sort ALL known materials like this - figure out what's still relevant to the vurrent version of Blender - what needs to be upgraded or simply done better (some Blender tutorials have great content but the presentation is lacking -- bad mic, mumbling, stammering, etc.). Blender is maturing into a very serious application that needs to have better representation in the tutorials available. - have tutorials that are bite-sized and highly focused - once-and-for-all set some standards by establishing a template and guidelines for anyone interested in creating a VIDEO (let's use modern technologies please) tutorial. - only officially recognize tutorials that follow that standard. - create a good logo that can be used to identify "officially approved" Blender tutorials. This will give the tutorial makers something to strive for and feel proud of having achieved. This will help to raise the level of effectiveness of the tutorials. You have to admit, there are quite a few that simply just aren't up to par. Thanks!
