That's great Josh.

That is sure to be useful in many ways (setting up skydomes, Global Ambiance etc. as well as water).

Thanks!

It looks great.

Thanks for taking the time to make a video tutorial.
I learned a lot.

Great Tutorial. I learned some things from that.

Can't wait to see more.

Thanks! I am trying to make a bunch of them for A:M and Gimp and Photography Techniques. Though I need some more ideas !
Here are a few I can think of for future A:M tutorials:

Animated ocean water (Probably my next one)
Detailed Materials (i.e. bump maps, diffuse maps, etc.)
Landscape (Multiple parts(Treeezz plugin, Skydome, hair for grass/distant trees and leafs, using turbulence combiners for textures)

Photography Tutorials:
Panorama's 101
HDR's 101
F/stops and DOF
Astrophotography Basics

Gimp:
Action Sequences
Various effects

My only problem with making these is that they take up a large amount of disk space and I need I video host that lets me host HD content for free/cheap. I am using Vimeo right now but it only lets me post 1 HD video a week. But.... I only need HD video for my A:M and Gimp tutorials(B/c regular compression kills the quality and you would not be able to read anything )

Hosting is a dilemma we all face.
If you choose to continue with Vimeo one option might be to run it like podcasting.
This week... Creating a Calm Ocean.
Next show... Animating the Ocean.
Next show... Adding HDR.

While not all tutorials would be in play at the same time you could recycle those that find the most interest. As one show loses interest move on to the next or present a show from the past. I see no reason why you can't keep posting your project files here in the forum to augment your show.

If interest in your tutorials is high, hosting won't be your biggest hurdle... then you'll have to deal with the demands on your time and attention. So pace yourself and enjoy the problems you have.

The importance of resistance cannot be overstated.
Use the limitations you face to channel and focus your effort.
In the end you'll have benefited from the experience in many ways.

Others here can suggest possible hosting solutions. I can't.
