Here is the first in a series of Node Tutorials. The first gives an overview and a flash card system to help you learn this challenging new method of making materials in Blender. This is based on the workshop given at the recent Blender Conference 2006. However, it covers the subject in greater detail with many additions that could not be covered during the short workshop.
