Getting into Modeling

So I've decided to dip my feet into the intimidating world of 3D modeling. Let me start by saying that I am no artist. My drawing abilities peak at crude stick figures I'm afraid. This desire to tackle modeling has been instigated by the short film that I'm working on. I've quickly come to realize that when you're working on a film with little to no budget, you need to learn to do as many things as possible by yourself, rather than relying on others. I've scoured the web searching for some cheap, educational options for learning the trade and in that search I discovered Simply Maya.
 They have a series of free tutorials on everything from rendering to modeling. They also appear to have countless hours of tutorials that require payment but that are still very cheap. I'll post some updates right here and hopefully I'll start to see improvements in my work. My goal is to be able to model a lot of the props for the film myself!
