    Started watching the first one and it looks like it's just a walkthrough of the tutorials/How To's in the Help, correct?

    If you haven't downloaded the v1 release of XNA Game Studio Express yet then this contest may be an incentive.

    Hey all, just a couple of answers to your questions/comments: Machiara - They are based on the tutorials in the Help, yes. It's a little more in-depth in its explanations, so it's a good primer even if you've followed the tutorials before. cchance - We're working on getting the videos onto Soapbox, great idea! adamhill - Marketplace, eh? It's certainly on the radar, we're still considering it. Great ideas and questions, everyone, please keep it coming! Charles Cox XNA Developer Educator

    great job on these tutorials, however it would be great if you guys could go a little more in depth describing how to make models and how to apply textures to them. one thing that im not sure about - can i make a model in another 3d application (such as Maya, or XSI) and import it into XNA, or is that option not supported? i also see a lot of coding in these tutorials and i would like to know if there will be any lessons that show how to use a more visual approach. thanx, and again these tutorials are a great help.
