Although I mentioned in an earlier article that there were no good and easy-to-find tutorials, I did finally find one. It’s by CgCookie and comes in multiple parts. The first part, which largely covers the interface is free for anyone. All other parts can be seen with a paid subscription.

There is also a cheatsheet available:
