Eh... but in free version (of FRAPS) you can record only 30 seconds video... too bad for video tutorial purpose.

So, as far as you want a small program I can suggest CamStudio - free and open
or
FastStone Capture - free for 30 days.

And while there's no video I'd be grateful for some theory. May be a text tutorlial... Please, tell me about your arch building experience ;)

You can try Wegame besides Fraps, it's a free game recorder and low demand screencast apps.
There're many choices like Democreator (with video edit feature) and ScreenToaster (Web-based no install) so you can record gameplay, tutorial or whatever.

nice 2 hear that, and maybe you can try out holding f while scrolling, this is useful 2 (and it sometimes works faster), I didn't put that into the vid, cuz that would make it confusing, but you can try it in pas,
Nice 2 help you

nice!

maybe you can try something like this? (maybe you need a bit of practice, but I'm sure you can make this someday)

I really need more practice :-) Then may be I'll be able to make something like that silver sphere in the center.
