Greetings fellow Polycounters!


I've had a stupid habit of trying to 'backup' nearly the entire supply of tutorials the internet has to offer, regarding game art, on my hard drive.
In this thread I've tried to organize the unmanageable mess that I've made, into a somewhat readable/presentable form. Tried to pretty much post the most sensible ones that actually might make some sense out of context (most of them don't). That being said, if people approve of this thread, I'll consider posting my video archives as well that I've collected over the years. I'll have to spend a while to check that any of it wouldn't fall into the category we call pirating. A lot if it ain't free.

Also, I apologize beforehand if someones stuff is re-hosted and posted in this thread. Just poke me via PM and I'll see that the file will be removed from my copy folder and the link to it removed from this thread. For most of these, I have no clue who made them and where I got them from. I really got to work on archiving skills when it comes to digital hoarding.

Pretty sure most of this stuff is already general knowledge to a lot of active polycounters, so this is mostly aimed towards the newbies.. or something.

I'm still in the progress of sorting out my folders. Will keep updating this thread as I make progress. Enjoy!

Here goes.
NONE OF THESE ARE MADE BY ME
