glyvin101 I am glad that Cellbloc Studios is giving you this tutorial. I also find it helpful. I am also trying to learn Blender now, while also learning DBPro, and several other 3d game making applications. It's going to take a long time. The thing is, though, that Blender is considered difficult to learn. It is a very powerful and versatile modelling application but it has a steep learning curve--probably because it IS free. You can find all sorts of Blender tutorials at various Blender sites. Some of them are video tutorials.
I do want to point out to you that you can find a lot of the information you are asking for on the 3d forum on this very TGC site, INCLUDING free models for your usage in FPSC if you want any of those. It's great that Cellbloc Studios is helping out here, and I find the information useful for my own learning purposes, but don't neglect the other learning sources already available on TGC's site itself.
Not only can you get free models on the 3d forum but sometimes free and already textured models. You just have to search for them. Heck, sometimes if you ask politely some of the memebrs will create pretty much anything your want. In any event, you will find a lot of great information about creating your own models by reading the threads on that forum. Best of luck to you.
Eternal student in search of knowledge. But will settle for the occasional epiphany.
