newb modeling questions


#1

Hey everybody! This is my first post here and I am completely new to blender. and I was wondering where I should start, and where I can find some good tutorials. I know just a little bit about sculpting… but that’s it. I don’t have the slightest idea of what UV textures and all that, so can someone enlighten me on all of this 3d stuff?

I know how to sculpt, should I make a very basic looking person and work my way up?

Thanks in advance!

Don’t forget this

it’s probably the least intimidating, and nicely laid out website for someone to get there feet wet with Blender 2.5.
