With the advent of Blender 2.5 on the horizon old BlenderHeads using the app to make content for games (low poly models and what have you) are going to need to know where some of the core features and functions have been moved. This new tutorial locates the various 'properties' panels so you know where they are (http://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/blender/view-properties-grid-and-camera-clip-distances-for-2.5.php). May or may not be putting a quick video together for this, time depending.

Blender Basics - mesh optimisation
Additionally, the Blender Basics tutorial series (http://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/blender/blender-basics-appearence-and-layout.php) now include a section on basic model optimisation (http://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/blender/blender-basics-optimise-models-for-export-to-games.php) as applied to the chair that accompanies the series. If you want to learn Blender 'hands on' download the Blender file and work your way through the information.

Just uploaded a 'talky'! YouTube may screwup the aspect ratio despite this being recorded in 480p so watch out for that one.
