In this tutorial, we’ll look at how to measure objects and distances in Blender. We’ll look at features built into Blender and the Caliper script (created by Dolf Veenvliet, aka macouno).
The Caliper script can be downloaded at:

Version Compatibility: 2.4x
Tutorial Level: Beginner
You can check out the tutorial at BlenderCookie.com

This video tutorial will show you how to use multiple cameras in your animation, and easily control the camera switching in your animated scene.
Additional Info:
To assign a camera to be active at multiple points during your animation, simply add the necessary frame numbers to the camera's name, separated by commas (no space required).
Example
---------
A camera desired to be the active camera at frames 48 and 1726 should be named as follows:
48,1726
You can have as many assignments per camera as desired, up to the character limit for object names. Note that frame numbers greater than 4 digits should not be formatted with commas (i.e. 1,429 should be named as 1429).

It appears that the Gen3 tree script webpage no longer exists, so I'm providing another download link for the script.

This is a demo of the Gen3 tree-generating script. Gen3 is created by Sergey Prokhorchuk (a.k.a. Stager) and we have him to thank for creating such a great tool for Blender.
I've done a lot of research and have found quite a few tools for creating trees that are compatible with Blender. And, because I was able to find so many useful tools (I think I found something like 12 or 13), it's going to be difficult to create actual tutorials for each of them. There are so many things to consider when creating a tree and that usually translates to a lot of parameters in these types of applications. So, in order to cover them all in a reasonable amount of time, I've decided to present quick demonstrations, instead. The bonus aspect of this is that I'll share with you all of the treasures of information that I've collected in my search for these tools. This should save you quite a bit of time in getting up to speed with the applications.
