Highend3d.com and Fxshare.com are pleased to announce our new 5 minute fully hosted tutorial system for Zbrush
This system allows any user who has text, screen shots, movies, or existing tutorials, to easily publish a multi page fully hosted tutorial on our sites within 5 minutes for free. The system uses our proprietary wysiwyg editor which allows users who know no html to easily create a formatted tutorial containing graphics, movies, and even scene files all hosted directly on our server. Users can also create a forum for every tutorial with just one click. A forum allows readers to share their ideas and create new conversations about the topics submitted.
The owner of the tutorial also has the ability to “Edit” their tutorial at any time, making changes or adding new graphics or additions. This could be very useful when updating tutorials to be compatible with new versions of the software.
Example video of how the system works:
http://www.highend3d.com/demomovies/tutorialsystem.html"The HighEnd3D tutorial system vastly simplifies the work involved in creating a clear and concise tutorial and adds the ability to maintain it with little effort. Its a great tool for sharing information within the community!", says Scott Spencer author of many Maya and Zbrush tutorials.
Once the tutorials are in the site they are linked from other areas on the site such as related scripts and plugins sections. Some recent tutorials have had over 20,000 views in their first 2 months on the site. By being part of the site the traffic to any user’s tutorial is far greater then hosted anywhere else on the Internet.

Will McCullough states: “The philosophy behind the new tutorial system was to build a pipeline that allows users an easy way to share information quickly. With just a few screen grabs and some text a user can now write a full tutorial within minutes and have it published and highly trafficked. We wanted to eliminate the need for users to find separate webservers just to share ideas with the community and with our new system we’ve accomplished that. Deanan DaSilva called it ‘TutorialBlogging’ and we hope all users will find it as easy!”

Don’t see what possibly could be wrong with promoting the site?
Perhaps its easier to just create a pagebreak button though, so you won’t have to load so many editors and the user can create as many pages as he wants.
