3D modeling, any suggested tutorials?

[Bek]

It may seem incredibly complicated to get started, but once you get going it's a lot.. smoother. Popular, what I call 'traditional' modelling packages like blender, max, maya are all great, and there are bucketloads of tutorials around the internet. Start off googling for getting started videos, then specific projects.. like "modelling knife 3ds max 2009" for example. Just simple things, play around, find what tutorial types / sites you like.

There isn't exactly a best program, there are just programs you prefer (so before you learn LOTS in one, try many).

Then after you've got the general skills of one or more of those packages, you will probably discover the most amazing thing ever, 3d sculpting packages like Pixologic's Zbrush (The most amazing program ever) or Autodesk's Mudbox (Not the most amazing program ever). These programs are quite different from 'traditional' modelling programs, have their own advantages and disadvantaged. But don't worry about those just yet.
