Hey guys,
In the last 6 months I have used oFusion as the primary tool for exporting levels, characters and props into our game. Through this period, I’ve had many issues with basic things that don’t come up on the ofusion forum much, and most have been pretty simple questions.

Anyway, I’d like to share what I’ve learned with those who are just starting with oFusion, since I’m sure it’ll increase workflow and understanding of the subject.
So I’m looking to compile a set of Video tutorials for oFusion. I’ve created one covering installation and one regarding the basics and the user interface within max. All are from an artist’s perspective, so please, if I have anything wrong, give me a yell so I can fix them :D

What I’d like to know is what you think of what’s done so-far. I’d not done Video Tutorials before, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as well as any ideas of what to cover and any methods I’m sure I’ve missed in my limited time with oFusion CE ;)

Here are the youtube uploads. Actual video is at 640x480, so if anyone would like a copy/mirror, just ask me:

This is really usefull!! I will show this to my the new artists that join my project.

You jump over the scene manager and say : Well don't know what it is. Basicly, it's very important to set it as indoor scene manager if you do an indoor scene and outdoor scene manager if you are outdoor because Generic scene manager has almost no optimization, so this is why loading a scene is really long.

Excellent job :) this is a very good resource (and hope the start of many more), we will provide a link to them in the Artist's Center

wow, thanks!
I'm working on a materials tutorial at the moment, since that's where I spent most of my time.

I've also tried to have a look at scene manager info, but the video tutorial link on the resources page seems to be broken. If anyone has a mirror, I'd be very happy if they could post it :)

cheers!
