Hmmm. Probably some material setups for metals using Siger's Fresnel map as I've seen a few different takes on the approach, as well as some using Bercon Maps. I don't understand how to use those half the time and the existing literature isn't very helpful.

More indepth tutorial about SSS materials with examples like wax, milk, juice. I'd like to better understand when to use translucency, when refraction and when opacity.
I'm not Corona Team member. Everything i say, is my personal opinion only.

Since it says the three older tutorials that show core work flows like sun+sky, scattering and shadow catcher are based on old work flows I would like to see an update of these.

Oh yes one on render elements. I only use a few, but would like to know what the rest do/are used for. I think I asked about this quite some time ago in referring to the wiki, but not every single element was explained.

I´ll quote myself :)
"One tutorial I would like to see - Or I think would be just ok if someone could upload a simple 640*480 .PSD file of a reflective teapot on a plane but with render elements.
I would to know in which order I need to put the elements in layers and what mode I need to apply to them.
I would like to have all elements lined up in Photoshop and then I could decrease all reflection-levels from the image."

Mostly the animations fall under 1 of 4 categories:

- indoors with no moving objects
- indoors with moving objects
- outdoors with no moving objects
- outdoors with moving objects

A concise overview of the GI/render-settings for each category and some explanation of why they (ie the settings) have to be so.
Not an hour long video but more like a quick setup-guide that refreshes your memory.

Cheerio!
