Thanks for the very nice write-up :-) Kyran and I have been building the site part-time for a year now, as of January we plan to spend much more time on the site (on the back of a bank-loan) so that we can grow things. The range of tutorials we're covering is already pretty impressive (far wider than we'd expected just 6 months ago), we're always happy to welcome new authors. To that end, we have instructions (referring to comments above) on how to make your own videos in the wiki: http://wiki.showmedo.com/index.php/Making_a_ShowMeDo_video with notes for Windows, Mac and Linux. I do ask that interested authors drop me a mail first of all, just so we can talk through the tutorial. If the tutorial is strong and educational then we will probably be interested in it. Cheers!

I didn't even make an announcement on the forums yet and it's on BlenderNation already. :) @aws357. I used Camtasia for these. Camstudio is what I used to use and probably would still use if the TSCC codec didn't rock so much. By the way, I will be making more of these in the future (first week of January). I haven't made video tutorials for a while since I've spent almost two years teaching hands-on workshops. However, we've expanded the scope of the workshop and now most of the training is done on line so it's more accessible for students. The original videos were 1024x576, and the ShowMeDo guys put extra time in to make sure that these videos would be just as effective, even going as far as changing the site layout when you played those videos just so they would fit since they are quite large for Flash videos. So give them a pat on the back for the work they did. I imagine people are interested in the original 1024x576, 15fps, h.264 encoded files. I'm working on that; hopefully something involving Osprey.

They could be vary useful for those who are trying to make a plugin or working in the BGE. don’t forget the python tutorials on that website.
