Hi !!!!!!!!!!! ( NEWBIE ) !!!!!!!!!!!

I need some advice on computer graphic, what I can do with it and were to start. I am really interested in 3d Graphics, 3d animation, ect.

I bought books and stuff, but I don’t know were to start, what software to begin with and what do I need to become a Graphics Designer.

Please help me, and tell me what to study, what I need to have and to know. I really need some help on this, I’m clueless.

A couple good places to start would be with GMax or A Taste of Maya. GMax is a trimmed down version of 3ds max that is free. I hear it has all of the modeling tools in the full version. A Taste of Maya is the demo version of Maya.

Or wings 3d, which is a very capable polygon modeller. no texturing or rendering though.
