hello,

read up on these articles www.graphicdesignforum.com/desktopdefault.aspx?f=44&m=110509&tabid=137 posted on a previous thread.

Also the best way to see for yourself is to download trial versions and demos.

Not to detour you from this web forum, since this is an AWESOME RESOURCE SITE, but also check cgtalk.com for any 3D tutorials or specific assistance in a 3D application. I personally use Maya but there is also 3d Studio Max, Softimage XSI, Rhino, and several others. Any questions with Maya please feel free to ask me in a PM. THanks

Also the tutorial section on www.designertoday.com has 3D tutorials on various applications and some general 3d tutorials as well. Som of those might help, a lot od the 3dsmax tutorials are very basic.
