This whole TDK series is the best. Think i'll be staying home this weekend with the hookah and go through all the TDK and Ruccus FPS tutorials. Prime me to pick up where I left off on my Juxta Tempus project. Been strugling to work in the sky effects from the Extends pack. Pretty bad, I own both the DBP I & II books, but find my self refering to these(tdk and ruccus tuts) the most.

This is a tutorial gold mine! There's... 15 of them.

I second that. We wouldn't have to scroll through other people's posts (like mine) to find them. It'd also be easier to just make the links like this:

Good idea - but I can't - the original post was by Indi.

What I can do is make a completely new thread, sticky it and then delete this one.

That's a nice sound effect, but I don't see what it has to do with this thread.
