Heyos!

I wish to make tutorials again! I kinda.. stopped right in the middle of doing them, which is bad form, but oh well.

Anyway, I'm wondering about some building tutorials (Sculpty and otherwise) that people would like to see. Not just for me to do tutorials, but anyone in general who wants to make em, and yeah... if you're working on one, let it be known, so someone doesn't take a bunch of time to make a tutorial that you make and release right before theirs on the same subject.. could make people feel bad 'n stuff.

Anyway, so what are some building tutorials you'd like to see? Traditional and Sculpty tutorials both.

Do you think there could be some more conceptual tutorials. For example, suppose I say to myself, I want to build an Igloo (or fill in your idea here).

I am almost positive that an experienced builder visualizes the entire project, from start to finish, a lot different than I do. I just start making white blocks and stacking them up.

So, to summarize, my question is,

How do experts think? And can I learn to think like that?

Likewise, suppose you find some things built in world, and say to yourself, Gee, that could have been a lot better. Make a tutorial illustrating the mistakes that horrible builder (probably me 8-) made.

So like a basics of SL building theory kinda thing? Methods that will help you visualize and start a project, not just complete one?

Could outline my methods pretty easily, though 'how the experts' do it would likely change from person to person.

I'll write one out later today, for my used methods for starting and continuing a project. Shouldn't take long, just have 5 minutes or so at the moment, so will have to wait 'till later.

(I'll include some mistakes people often make, or unelegant methods that are better done other ways, per your second post, Lee)
