I've already posted a short entry about this but I just spotted the official press release...

Over nine hours of tutorials filled with tips and techniques for creating spectacular effects.

October 1, 2007 -- lynda.com, the leader in self-paced digital media and design training, today introduced Vue 6 xStream Essential Training.

Vue 6 xStream Essential Training shows how to plan and create spectacular visual effects, from a bird's-eye view of clouds to city and landscape backgrounds. Instructor Larry Mitchell gives users a working knowledge of what can be done with Vue 6 xStream, including adding and editing ecosystems, working with cameras, animating objects, manipulating lighting and more. He demonstrates how to achieve a variety of results on numerous different kinds of projects. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.
