The best modeling tutorials YOU used

What are the best tutorials you used to learn how to model?

Paid for Dvd’s / downloads and Free?

I remember it was my first tutorial on modeling.

Five years ago, when i first put my hands on 3ds max. I still had no clue how to do anything. At all !

My first tutorial was from the 3dsMax author resources… Yes, yes, i pressed F1 and there was that, “modelling a soldier” tutorial.

This was my first tutorial, and till now the most inspiring one. It gave me an insight on how things work in max. I will never forget it.

Cheers !

Thanks, yeah I have drilled through cgtuts and all the other sites, I was just wondering if anyone had that one single tutorial (for them) where they just suddenly got it?

Like @3alisha said, sometimes you find one that keeps you going! lol

Also I am interested in the paid for classes/dvd. Just wondering which are your fav

I never used paid dvds and classes, but look, i have very decent skills.

In fact, i really advise you to learn everything on your own. In that case, you’d basically know how EVERYTHING works. This is why self-taught designers are usually more sought after..

Learning by yourself takes time, but has better results. Another positive side is that there are no material expenses (training classes could be very expensive).

“F1” for me too Maya’s Help was the place i frequently visited. The version was Alias Wavefront Maya 4.5… and the interface looked somewhat like MSPaint Woh, that was a long time back.

Hey! My first real modeling tutorial(and the only one I needed) was the audi a4(i think) from 3dpalace.. was way back, like 5 years ago. It set me straight on polymodeling!
