Digital Art Tutorials, a community effort?

[Avis]

I've been thinking lately,
every so often I get proded by a community member asking for advice or suggestions on how to do something in 3D or some such and it got me thinking about writing a few tutorials on various but simple aspects of digital art.

Now I know for a fact (just by looking around this creative forum) that there are plenty of very talented people about who must have a few tricks up their sleves they could share for the greater good of the dwindling artistic (literature side is still as strong as ever its good to see) side of this board.

what do others think of this idea? is it worth mine and others time?
would others be willing to contribute tutorials?
and if anyone is interested in anything in particaly youd like a tutorial on?

Are graphic rendering included?
If yes make one for blender

[Avis]

well yes 3D rendering is digital art

as for blender,, well thats application specific, I meant things like
creating a planet with lets say an atmosphere and a ring of debrey sorta like what esd recently created, a tutorial to describe in generic sence what you'll need to create ie from textures through to a sphere for planet and how to create a atmospheric glow in 3D which could be applied to blender / UnreadEd / 3Dmax whatever..

or of course more specific to application if people wish, though I have no knowledge or understanding of blender

This place has been around for quite awhile, and is one of the best sources for anything and everything 3D. Freebie models/textures/plugins, even some freeware applications.

Not to mention tutorials for days.

I'de be willing to write some tutorials too if anybody was interested. Zbrush and 3dsmax mainly.

I think this site is by far the best for 3d tutorials/forums etc:-

Well Jeph Jacques of QC fame has a tasty tutorial for drawing people and general photoshoppy skills. He also has a video tutorial (It's a torrent download) showing how he does it. (just to rub it in how good he is )

Hey guys, I made in depth guide for finding references for digital Artist!

I made this guide because I felt that reference is such a crucial part in the art making process, yet there isn't much in depth information online! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kIBjbQy980&t=221s]

It's a very nice guide, but I doubt that the thread participants are still looking for information 17 years later.
