I held a fun contest for the best AutoCAD or Autodesk Viz video tutorials in January. Beau Turner has won hands down with his 4 submitted videos on Autodesk Viz 2005. Betsy Weber of Techsmith offered some prizes in this contest as their software Camasia was used.

You must use the Windows Media Player and also enable your speakers for the audio. The videos are very creative and informative. Look out Hollywood! :-)

Beau has a great blog as well: Will Render For Food

If anyone else has any AutoCAD or Autodesk Viz tutorials they would like posted, please email me at [email protected] Perhaps I will award some prizes for the best submissions based on creativity and the tutorial content value. Perhaps once AutoCAD 2006 is shipping you could create some tutorials showing the new features and how to use them. Please try to keep the submitted videos under 10MB and in the Windows .wmv format.

Cheers,
Shaan
