Well I'm still trying to learn all of this stuff too, but I'd love to • write
something for you. In another response you said something a bout a list of
what you'd like,  when you get that I'd be happy to do one of the basic
items. (IMHO, with a list it will be easier for people to claim what they
want to do).

Ok, here's a list of topics I think are needed for tutorials.  If anyone can
think of more, please post them here.

- How to make images of your models for building instructions, web
publications, and print media.

- How to create photo-realistic renderings using L3P and POV-Ray.
(step-by-step for beginners, with introduction to L3PAO and POV-Ray - point
to POV's tutorials for more advanced topics)

- How to use the LGEO Library for better renderings.

- Animations with POV-Ray

- Creating Scenes in POV-Ray

- LDraw Glossary of Terms (as many words as can be defined, from across the
range of tools)

- Using Multipart files in your model - MPD

- Introduction to Parts Authoring

- Optimizing a model for creating building instructions (rotation steps,
submodels, etc)

(...) I'd be willing to help out or write this up as soon as I figure out the logistics myself. I've been using Ldraw and MLCad for a little over a week now so there is still a lot of learning to be done, especially with the rendering programs. sun (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
