It's a fun app.  I need to alter my approach to learning it though.
I've just been dabbling with it, thinking of "how do i do x?" then
looking around for how to do x.  That sometimes is successful, but
for the most part it leaves me with huge holes in my understanding
of what's going on.  I bought a book, but finding the discipline
to go through it and all the tutorials online is a different matter.
It also doesn't help that it includes two different render engines,
each with its own set of options.

Also, i'm afraid it's going to take a render farm to do anything
really fun animation-wise.  This laptop takes 10-20 minutes to
render a single frame with anything approaching decent detail,
so I haven't even bothered try video rendering yet.  The animated
stuff I've posted so far was sort of a preview, and not actually
rendered.
