[Bf-docboard] Re: Let's start again...

[Craig Sanders]

Doug, I'm also new to Blender. The last time I worked with a 3D package was
over five years ago, with Stratavision. However, being new is really an
asset since I come in with no preconceptions.

I would also be willing to help.  I'm still very new to Blender, and I'm not
as experienced as Craig Sanders, but I'm starting to get the hang of things
like mesh editing and texturing, and I'm a native English speaker.  Perhaps
I
can do some proofreading, write a small tutorial or two for raw newbies, or
update existing tutorials so they're consistent with Blender 2.32.

One good tutorial idea would show integration of Blender with Wings3D (which
I've fallen in love with for mesh editing.)  Please let me know where you
would like me to help.
