Just to let you all know I will be at the Blender Conference, 20-22 October, at the De Wagg Building in Amsterdam. There I shall be providing a workshop on NODES which is a next level to my introduction to materials under BSoD 2006. As an enticement to get you to come along I will be giving away some unique FLASH cards as an aid to learning NODE use. See you there. See my website for details including a small nuclear explosion. www.cogfilms.com Colin (Cog) Hi all,

Preset layouts are the drop down to the left of the scene drop down.

I really needed something like these. My only question is about the layout thing, my Blender doesn't have any preset layout selection. All there is when I click the dropdown menu is scene. And nothing else. How do I get these preset ui layouts? Wow I like this. I really needed something like these.

I took the liberty of converting it to a pdf. Easier to print all at once that way. It is a little messy. I hope this was o.k for me to do this. the link is: http://www.leifsweb.com/pdfs/BSoD_Intro_to_Materials.pdf The file is 6.8 mbs, and 144 pages long. Thanks. Awesome.

I was blocked where I must assign materials to each mesh, because there aren't indications about what get which material? Beside that, this tutorial is good but unfinished. I think the intro to animation from Ryan Dale is better and easier to follow. is the second part finished, with the lavafall?
