I'm considering starting a short series of basic training videos on the subject of Blender.
Would anyone be interested in such a thing?
While my knowledge of 3d modeling programs is limited mostly to Blender, I am also learning Maya, and could shortly post a basic Maya series as well.

That would be amazing! If you could have the tutorial be mostly pertaining to LEGO things in Blender, that would be even better, IMO. But just a basic guide to Blender in general would be greatly appreciated 
Yes, we need something like that. But I echo kcirbfilms, tutorials for modeling Lego figs.
I would be interested. I am planning to use Blender for effects, because my edition of Sony Vegas can't set blending modes.
Well, thanks for the quick responses, guys!
As far as Lego modeling, that would come towards the end of the series, one the viewer learns how to create, model, shade, texture, animate, and render basic objects.
Can you teach some basic features of the video sequence editor too?
And some tips on rendering?
Here's somethings that I think people would wanna see:
-Basic (Hotkeys, controls, etc.)
-Making Models
-Simple Animation
-Advanced Animation
-Textures and Color
All these I am having a bit of trouble finding.
That's about what I was thinking.
Does anyone know of a good, free screen capture program?
I'm pretty sure I've tried all the free ones that get decent reviews.
At this point, I'm ready to invest in a good one.
Have you seen Debut Video Capture by NCH? I think that's a good one, masters edition is overpriced but you can get a trial version, then when the trial runs out you can downgrade and use it forever. You only lose things like watermark and so but still a good software. Has sound capture to, you can turn that off. And still shot capture too. Hope I helped.
Looks interesting.
I'll give it a shot.
Le bump.
This thread was mentioned, so it shall return.
Allow me to explain my lack of tutorials.
Firstly, I have not yet been able to find a free screen capture program that doesn't absolutely suck, and secondly, my power's been out for the past 10 days, leaving me with no way to look at the internet, except for my phone, which is brutally slow at home.
My current computer isn't as powerful as I would like, but it does the job of using the applications that I would be teaching, however, most of the processor is devoted to that leaving the screen capture looking rather choppy.
In the end, I'll probably get FRAPS or DXtory, as they are quite good, and relatively inexpensive.
Camtasia Studio is also good. I dont know if it is free, but I got it free 
It would be really helpful so please do it!
You got it free?
I'm pretty sure it costs like $100. Did you Torrent it?
I dont remember, but I might have done that... I did it just to try it, if I liked it I would have bought it of course! 
Havent used it that much, but it seems great to me.
You can use it free for a month.
See, I don't really want to deal with the trial versions. They sometimes have a watermark, which I want nothing to do with.
HyperCam2. I was looking at screen capture programs a little while ago, and this was the only one that worked for me and was free.
