I had a request by email for 3D modelling help they need to learn when making their fan game, I don't know if they surf these forums though, and incidentally I've ended up making a tutorial for them and am sharing it with the community.
Now, it's nothing complicated, which is the whole point as it's aimed at beginners. It does require yourself to be familiar with:
-Face Edit Mode
-Vertex/Point Edit Mode
-Single and Multiple Selection
-Face Extrusion
-Knife/Cutting
-Adjusting points/faces via Scaling, Moving or Rotating
-How to make object
Yes, I used tools as simple as those, which I thought would help with some of the more 'basic' applications beginners tend to use
Anything less than that, then learn how to use your application first.
You will be modelling a Pokemon - I gave up that craze a long long time a go (I did him on the request of my emailer) - but at the end you will have your own Charizard Model.
You'll see it's on my new website:
