Tutorials Galore *updated December 12 2003*

selfish, books are pretty good, but they focus on learning the tools, not specific modeling, rigging, etc.

thanks so much for this wonderful list of tutorials, and i have to say, i am going to try and get through most of them

Thanks! I'm in th middle of my fifth (out of six) week of class and I've already gone thru two models that aren't very good. I wish I was back on campus, I love the online classes, but I miss the fellowship of the computer labs. This is a great resource!

Thanks for the great tuts, once my new copy of 3dmax7 arrives I am going to get back into it. Been a while since I touched 3dmax need to start up again and have some fun.

Yeah! Those links are realy useful. Thanks a lot dude.

hey ppl

I dnt mean to be rude, and I truly appreciate the effort placed into the listing of so many tutorials for us beginners, but considering how good these forums are (and how professional etc) - I rly think someone should go over the links, cause there is a large number that doesn't work...

On a more positive note, thanx for all the effort put into this... Otherwise it wud be a long extensive task to find even half of these tutorials.

Hello , great lists , i would tell you that there are new tutorials and articles on http://www.xenomorphic.co.uk
