Yes. I think 3d is a up and coming way of animating and the more "hobbists" doing it the better. Just look at the effect of game modders on 3d application pricing, recently almost every major 3d package has relased a lite version (Maya, Softimage etc) for gamers and hobby animators.

I am a avid Blender user and before they went bankrupt they had a major influence on the big guys with regard to pricing and availabilty of their products. When I started with Blender 3d studio was more than I'd spend on a car and required a dedicated computer and hardware key. Now 3d studio is much more available (still more $ than I'd spend).

I am experimenting with toon shaders and 3d for my strip, but I like hand drawing better. Maybe it will end up a hybrid of 3d scenery and 2d characters...

In short please publish whatever tutes you can come up with, no matter how bandwith intensive (provided you can host them reasonably).

Also I tried Hamma patch, the japanese thing threw me, maybe I'm just too accustomed to Blender...
