Totally new, suggestions :)

[ala]

Hello everyone!!

I am doing a degree in computer science, and I am doing a course in which I need to choose any multimedia related field, and do a project on. It is suggested to do something unknown before, in order to gain new skills.


I was thinking of doing a static CG image, with high quality texture. Whether it be a human model, or object, or landscape, didn't decide yet before I'm sure of feasibility of such project.

Is it possible to achieve that, starting with no knowledge, in around 8 weeks?

Also, what software would you recommend, and which tutorials/books ? (there are alot of graphics and software-related books in the library).

Thank you!
