  7. This article describes creation of the first four OpenSceneGraph tutorials in March 2017.
  8. The [first four OpenSceneGraph tutorials](https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide/) explain how to create a cube model with Blender and display the model under Linux, macOS, or Windows using OpenSceneGraph tool called osgviewer.
  9. The whole process of creating a single tutorial turned out to be pretty daunting because it includes several tasks:
  10. 0. Record original video depicting one or more steps
  11. 0. Name the steps as clear as possible
  12. 0. Select the parts of the video that display the step
  13. 0. Remove the parts of the video that bare no value, e.g., waiting in the middle of compilation
  14. 0. Select a single frame to best represent current step, e.g., typing a specific command
  15. 0. Add a detailed description to article, why current step should have been taken
  16. 0. Proof-read the article
  17. 0. Correct typos and video timing
  18. 0. Review the whole video
  19. 0. Upload the video to YouTube with timestamps of steps for easier navigation
  20. Some of those tasks had to be repeated multiple times until the combination of video, text, and article was clear and logical.
  21. Overall, it took us 30 hours to create the tutorials. The whole process gave us a lot of experience, which will help us in shaping learning materials for our technologies in the future. We don't know how they will look like exactly, but they will definitely be better.
  22. That's it for describing creation of the first four OpenSceneGraph tutorials in March 2017.
