A
number of tips, tricks, techniques, answers to questions and tutorials I have
written over the past few years for various publications. This list will grow,
expand and possibly be modified over time, so check back occasionally! The text
contained within is un-modified from the the day it was written and may be slightly
different from the text in the publications, due to editing for space, terminology
or daft schpelling mishtakes.

Many thanks to Cris over at 3D-Palace.com for hosting these tutorials!! My bandwidth has got higher and higher every year and my hosting company threatened to shut the site down as I was well over my monthly allocation (which went in about a couple of days!), but Cris came to the rescue and provided me with space to drop these articles and assets on his server! Many thanks mate - all you lot should jump over there forthwith and have a butchers at the ace tutorials he's got!
