I'll probably snag this. And for those complaining about the fact that they're charging for their time ... well, so what!? They put time and effort into these training videos. It's only $15. There are Blender books like 'Essential Blender' which run around $45 in local stores - but no one says anything there. Come on. Let's just smile at the extra tutorials (unique tutorials) and move on. I for one will probably grab these. The more things to help me (and others) understand the GUI and such for Blender then better. I love CartoonSmart videos.

It has had great comments by users but has been consistently ignored by the blender 'experts' I am giving up now out of frustration. http://www.learnblender3d.com/ Its a shame I cant get a review of learnblender3d a free site that introduces blender.

If someone else wants to sell their own work be it documentation or anything else, I think that's fine too. Blender is great, and it's freely available which is even better.

This will garner Blender some serious exposure (me thinks) as alot of Flash newbies (an perhaps many others) use CartoonSmart, no doubt the buzz will travel. I really appreciate that they decided to offer a FREE portion of the tutorial. I guess you cant fault people for trying to make money.... but for all the effort that has gone into Blender and for the Blender Foundation and all the others involved to offer such a great resource for FREE and give there time earnestly, it kind of makes me cringe alittle deep inside when I see others charge for the tutorials etc... I think we might start seeing more of this from others as time goes by and Blender gains further popularity more and more. But some where inside me I really appreciate not only the people whom make Blender and make it all possible for its user base but also the open community which it resides in and those that offer numerous tutorials and resources under the same framework of FREE and open source. I dont say that to be against CartoonSmart or others that may do or have done the same. It is just kind of how I feel and I mean no harm by, and yeah $15 bucks is not much, but imagine if Blender had a price tag on it with all its capabilities...(I doubt 5% of its current user base could even afford it if that was the case, and it would probably be more expensive then any other 3D package out there based on its overall features across so many areas that come in one software title). I think Blender and its community is one of the most unique and wonderful software titles and user communities that there is, and somehow the onslaught of inevitable commercialization on any level big or however miniscule just feels wrong within the context of the Blender ideal that has been set forth. I know there are a million ways to view this and million opinions, I just wanted to voice this little thought. Its not meant to start a huge debate but rather just something to ponder. Thats just how I feel. I feel the same way when I see Flash Source codes being sold for any amount and the same thing can be found all over the internet for free :-( Love live open-source and FREE and love live Blender ;-) PS: Thanks again CartoonSmart for the FREE portion, already downloaded ;-) Interesting!
