Seeing as though there is a 2D thread for this, I was a little suprised that there isn't a 3D version. Place all your good Links here.
The Human Head. I saw this site ages ago, yet forgot about it. Another forum reminded me of it.
http://coldfusion.art.msstate.edu/camenisch/thehumanhead/
Metagons. Although this site has some good tutorials and articles, I find that the Wireframe section is really useful.
Learning Maya. Mentioned on the Sumea Modellers section, but it deserves another one. Most of the tutes here are very good. Even if you don't know Maya (or want to), the Modelling tutes are pretty much cross-app compatable.
http://www.learning-maya.com/tutorials.php
I have more, but I just have to find them. Post your own as well. Let's get this baby growing :D
www.3dtotal.com
It has a massive tutorial collection and also has some good meshes for download.
www.3dcafe.com
Once again a lot of tutorials for a lot of differant apps.
www.3dbuzz.com
Has some kick ass video tutorials. On every software imaginable. They even now have C++ video tutorials. They used to be all free but now they are using some kind of star system which means that only frequent buzz users can get anything passed the first issue.

Hi all,
Im a newbie to this forum and I am also a newbie to 3d. I have recently became very interested in using poser. Im not sure if this is where I post as most of this thread is about maya.... however if anyone can help me regarding learning to use poser from scratch or a program that will get me ready for poser Id appreciate it. Im interested in the figure side of 3d using people in other words.
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks
