I want to break into 3d Modelling....

[Rukus.]

but I don't know where to start.

I got Blender awhile ago but have been too intimidated to try it myself, and when I went to find tutorials all of them have people with thick accents so I can't understand them.

So I have a few questions....

1. Should I use Blender or GMAX?
2. Where can I find useful tutorials to get me started?
