NOTICE

At the request of the editors, I'm taking my name off tutorials I've written here. These are the tutorials of which I was the original or primary author. So far no one else is really editing them anyway, so I'll probably continue to edit them here just to cut down on the number of hapless modders who have to PM me for help.

My new tutorial page. This will have more tutorials by me that will be more frequently updated and probably more accurate than ones I've posted here.

SickleYield Tutorials

There are some better and more recently updated versions here:

Modeling and Texturing Wiki

This page has tutorials from others besides me and, while nowhere near as huge as this site, focuses on modeling and texturing and is not a bad reference for those subjects.

Blender/GIMP Tutorials

This is actually a page with lab worksheets for CPSC 324: Computer Graphics at Hobart and William Smith Colleges (wherever that is; I have no clue). It's much easier to read than the great majority of tutorials, sadly including mine. :)
