Most Blender related tutorials are either very outdated or dead. Although I’m not a Blender beginner I have absolutely zero experience in rigging and animating models with this programs, and I’d like to see something which covers the basics.
Many of the links are no longer working or are really old; perhaps it’s time to un-sticky this one
Wow:O Thank you:D
hi all.
How to duplicate object with disk cached/and baked dynamics?
If duplicate then bake disapears.
To make sure my animations looked really nice, I extracted frames from videos I downloaded from the internet. That’s a lot of work, but this link you shared, makes things a a lot easier.
Thanks!
too bad most of the links in the 1st post are dead 
ne1 for changing them to newer available ones ?
For the not working pages form the first post. Since most died 7-8 years ago here are archived versions from archive.org.

thanks a million!!!
edit:
after a closer look, i realize i have actulay followed most of those tutorials back in the days when they were acurate. It’s a good feeling thou. Back then many things, i just did. Without any form of comprehension. Today i realised my over all “grip” arround how blender and 3d graphic/motion work has become much better.
…yet there is soooo much i need to learn 
Has anyone looked at revamping this sticky? There must be some up-to-date “MUST SEE” animation tutorials and info etc…
I see thankfully that speroangelus found some fixes for the links to irrelevant tutorials on older versions of Blender.
this sticky should be removed and replaced with something up to date imho.
Wouldn’t it be better to edit first post, stick it and remove all the rest? It’s kinda clunky when most links in the first post are dead and you need to move forward to reach to corrected ones.
I said the same thing… maybe my post isn’t the greatest or most complete but the first two pages of this sticky are dead or so old that they are irrelevant.
you could always change your options for the forum to post the last message first 
or get ahold of an admin and get the sticky changed… idk.
I think you’ve done a goob job with it and someone should take a lookt at this thread. And well, I can myself change display options but if someone who don’t know anything and wants to learn stumble upon a stack of dead links that might be a bit discouraging.
This post is really useful! Shouldn’t the broken links be repaired though?
I wanted to see the stuff on eyes, but all the links are broken!
I’ve never met Keith Lango, but consider him to be my greatest teacher. His videos are great!
Nice list,
I think a nice compilation of beginner level animation-rigging videos would be very nice, too.
Why isn’t anyone replacing, or at least removing these dead links? That’s annoying.
This is neater than the pinned post. Thanks!
Way too many broken links. Wastes too much time. Please update.

For those that have a HTC Vive then you can use it for motion capture too.
i put together some information if you want to add it to the list:
