Do not try to learn using blender for a start. While it's not that bad, it's nowhere near as good as 3dsmax R9. While it is of course somewhat more complex than blender because it is professionnal, in the end you'll spare valuable time learning directly 3dsmax. Why? bnecause nearly all games 3Dmodels are made with 3dsmax, so learning it will make your modding life far more easy (in terms of importing/exporting, for example).
Another reason is that it is the most widespread 3d modeller amongst wannabe users and experts alike on the net (maya being more movies FX oriented). Hence, you'll find the greatest amount of tutorials facilitating the learning.
Of course, it does cost a lot of money, but come on, i could easily swear on my mother's life that ALL modders here uses a pirated copy of it witout taking much of a risk lol :rotfl:
It does simply cost too much for any individual to buy... So download some copy of 3dsmax R9 and take your time, because it can be a slow process to master it
