Blender Cookie is by far the most comprehensive set of Blend Tuts! I'll be looking for a CG job before long thanks to you guys! :) By the way, what happened to Kernon? Did he move on? I miss the 'Professor'! But anyway thanks guys, and keep it up! Have your best year yet!

This is where the problems started for me because we leave off with a strand that has two lights after you unchecked double sided and flipped the normals then the next frame you start off working with one light. Could you explain what you did in between that transition? I followed this tutorial exactly but as you start to add the curve you start off with a strand that has only one light.

I have made the same object as in the tutorial but 100 times to big. Now i wand to scale it down to fit my curve model (a reindeer) which the object should follow. It follows the curve but the model seems to remember that it has been scaled down so the curve is not filled with the object (if not clear: a cube can 4 times in a curve -array with fit curve option selected-, if you scale down the cube -0.5- it still can 4 times in the curve.) Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks Jonathan, i have a question for you.

Even if I back up and add the circle via Shift+A the same thing happens. No box appears in any of the side bars (I scrolled completely through all tools) that allows me to set the number of vertices.

I'm really surprised that I haven't heard about it anywhere else; it's very useful shortcut. Thanks alot! I’m really surprised that I haven’t heard about it anywhere else; it’s very useful shortcut.

I am trying to do most of tutorials here. If anybody interested check out my blog http://ucimsekreslit.blogspot.com/. There are some works done by watching theese tuts.
