[The Big Fat Tutorial]

Possibly the greatest tut on newgrounds

This is an EXTREMELY straightforward tutorial, using basic techniques to create advanced appearing settings. It is an incredible blend of learning and fun, and the cartoon element adds enjoyability and the feeling that flash isnt a complicated program, but simply what you can make of it.
This is a very good tutorial, i recommend anyone who hasn't already done so by now to take a quick look. It really does explain how to make amazing backgrounds and miscellanious things. My congratulations to the author, the first flash ive seen him produce here, but i could have missed a few, and it is incredible. We need more tutorials like this for the newbies!
Again, Amazing! I am very very impressed

Helbereth responds:

This is the first one I put a lot of work into, really. There were 3 others but I was mostly testing to see if people got my sense of humor - and my sense of scares. My batting average is probably permanently scarred by the first two. The third I'm proud of.

In any case, I intentionally spent time to make it as straightforward as possible. No one word explanations, and no lack of reasons why something works. I even slipped in suggestions here and there on how to make use of the different processes.

Virtually all the peripheral stuff was added to help people with short attention spans. One with ADD will tend to turn it off if they get bored. I slipped in as many things as I could think of (or, well, as many as I thought I needed) for them to click on when they get bored somewhere. Or something that jumps out and catches their attention to keep them involved.

Most of it came out as a stream of thought or was born out of the wording I used (the airplane came out of the 'layer planes' description).

The credits were just fun to make.

Anyway, I hope it gets used. 25k views means a lot of people have seen it (and probably reopened it to view something again), but I hope a lot more see it and find ways to make use of it.

Thanks for the review!
