3D design apps

[Wanted_David]

hi everybody! every time i see some 3D model in this site, i become more keen on starting some "projects" myself, but i don't know where to start from (dunno which apps to use and have to 3d modeling experience).
please, use this topic to post a list of apps people can use to start modeling (and some tutorials too), and maybe some day some of us might create models for cool games  ;D

3d Studio Max
Maya
Lightwave
XSI

I would look into the Maya Learning Edition. I think it even comes with some lessons if I remember correctly.

There's also Cinema4d and Blender.
And the sites that were posted in another thread...

3d Buzz
Learning Maya
3d Total
Tutorialized
High End 3d
CG Tutorials
Digital Tutors
Gnomonology
The Gnomon Workshop
CG Academy

Keep in mind that while some of those are free, you have to pay for others.

I like 3Ds Max over Maya. Maya just has weird stuff and 3Ds Max is easier to use.

That's personal taste. The program is just a tool and in the end, what makes the difference is your skills.

Ya, that's why I said I :)
