A little OT here, but I tried to take a look at those videos, and I couldn't… because VEOH BLOCKS ACCESS FROM MY COUNTRY! I live in Brazil, but it seems quite a few other countries, like Malaysia and Chile get blocked too, with an unhelpful "Veoh is no longer available in [your country]" message. A glance at their forums reveals that "Unfortunately Veoh has ended service in your countries due to a low concentration of users". So much for free access to information.

Sorry for the off-topic comment, but I couldn't leave it at that.

partially good partially not so…. I've discovered the usage of retopo paint tool, but next this same videotuto is so boring in following parts. I'm thinking about what Malefico said some days ago… sometimes it seems that anything related to blender is great by default. I'm teacher and, provided that i have'nt still done any tuto or vtuto, I can only say that teaching is not only show what someone is doing, is a matter of rythm, illustrate, explain,and many other things too.

In this order of things, the famous timelapse modellings tends to be a perfect waste of time.
My humble -as usual ;) – opinion

probably, from that perspective it's good he has these tutorials. Although the points about pressing space>edit>edges etc etc being valid that the W key would be better, something we more regular blender users tend to forget is there are people who want to be able to find everything in a regular menu as well. For an "outsider" it's really handy to be able to find stuff in the manu's first, before learning all the hotkeys.
So yeah, not bad at all.

Oh and when he referred to "no video tutorials out there", I think he must have meant from a ZBrush to blender workflow perspective.

Just remember he is mainly a Maya and ZBrush artist.
He used Blender in his workflow thanks to the slick unwrapping tools, so made these vids with ZB artists in mind to show how to use blender in the texturing process.
He has a whole bunch of vids posted here

I though his introduction tutorials werent that good.
for example, his talk about rotating objects,and having to switch views to rotate it on different axes ? he should explain that it's easy to enable to rotate gizmo.
Also, saying he didnt find any/many video tutorials is just stupid.. clearly he's heard of google.. but i have doubts on how long he searched.

@Dread Knight, forks: Actually I found out that it's actually quite easy to watch these videos on Linux.

What you have to do is simply find the 'Download Options' and then click 'Original Video'. You can then watch it in MPlayer or VLC or whatever…took me a while to find it, but I was glad I did :)

The tutorials could have been a bit more prepared (he seemed a bit lost at times), but the UV-unwrapping tutorial still gave me a few good pointers :)

Thanks!
