Useful website for 3D Modellers

Within my research for learning new techniques, skills and practices within the 3D Modelling industry I came across a website called www.digitaltutors.com. I believe this website could potentially be very useful as it has many, many hours of different and useful modelling techniques hints and tips which are easy to understand and follow.

This will be a great help for me personally as I have never used the Mudbox software before and this will show me a lot of hints, tips and tricks that I can try out and apply to my model at the later stages of my Dissertation.

This website also has a lot of help with modelling within Max as well, so again, I can use this site for help with my modelling technique research, as well as assistance with my modelling. I am also not very efficient with my Unwrapping and Mapping skills in Max and this is where I believe I am going to have the most difficulty within this process, even compared to learning the new modelling software, as for some reason, I find it a very difficult part of the modelling process. Luckily for me however, this website is very well stocked with information and resources on this and many other aspects of 3D Modelling.

The only downside to this website is that there is a fee to use their services, but for the amount of information that is displayed and can be taught to you in such a short space of time I think this website will be a very good, investment for any 3D Modeller who needs to learn new skills within the industry and not just for myself. The pricing is $45 a month, which for me I can use this site in the last month or two of my modelling process which is where I believe I will need the most help and will potentially get the best results possible using this and the many other websites and resources I have found. 

I have specifically written about this site however because it impressed me with how much is displayed for the price you pay and the potential of how much you can learn from it. I thought that it could also be very useful for anyone else out there looking to do 3D Modelling, whether you are just starting up, need to refresh your memory and learn new techniques and tricks or even if you are experienced in Modelling already, and of course, to help the many other students out there doing there Dissertation on 3D Modelling.
