As a total newbie, I'd also be interested in some particle specific tut's. Explosions, fire, water, anything dynamics related. I've been looking around on th web for a little while now, and have met with very limited success. Is this something we should put off until we're a little more experienced?

Any particle links would be great. Including peoples web sites for ref.

hmmm... I should have a look at trying to make some fire effects. I'm, well, not a pro yet in Maya - so I guess that makes me a newbie too. Perhaps I'll leave fire for a little while then.

4.5 sounds really good, but I'll have to make do with 4.0 for now.
