A new set of video tutorials on How to Build Aircraft in AC3D for v. 6 is on my to-do list, but that's a long list right now...

It's in the works.

Edit 7/26: I have 4 episodes done on this already, so maybe the wait won't be as long as you might think... hold tight...

you could always try blender tutorials since most 3d modelers hold the same concept of creating shapes, extruding, and munipulating, onlything different is the interface

yeah but those files are huge. I can't begin to imagin how many mega bytes are contained in each of your files.

It's video. You need it to be close to full screen to have any chance of seeing the detailed operations with vertices, lines, surfaces, etc.

Sorry, but that means BIG files.

But, i'm flexible...and all ears. If you have a way to cut down the file size...and still make them viewable let me in on it, and perhaps I can work it into my production method.

Also, I've been known to cut a couple of CDs for a fella who asks nicely, and save him the horror of hours-long downloads...

You're in Washington, it's probably one day by USPS Snailmail.

I'm still creating the last of the installments; but once they're done and ready for distribution, I'll post back here and you can email me your address.

How's that for service?

Well, when I send off a CD I "ask nicely" for $10 for shipping, handling and content creation...provided the recipient thinks it's worth it. Haven't been stiffed yet...

One time, I got two nice bottles of wine for my troubles, in addition to the sawbuck... that was a really nice gesture... hic...hiccup...
