Yes, but the tutorials assumed you already had some working knowledge of
Blender.  For instance they would say, "Select the sphere and the cone and
...

I can't even figure out how to select a sphere or a cone.  I have heard
before that once you learn it, the Blender interface rocks.

FYI - the version of Truespace I use is free too.
http://forms.caligari.com/forms/ts3all_free.html
and it's got a *much* more intuitive interface.

The only thing I don't like about truespace if the help.  It will say things
like, "Select the Delete Face tool in face select mode to remove a polygon
from your object"

But it doesn't show you what the delete face tool icon looks like, or tell
you that you have to go into face select mode, turn the view so that you
have an unobstructed view of the face to delete, and then click the delete
tool, and then the face to delete.

I still like TS, but the help isn't much help.
