I am new to 3d and just starting figuring things out. What is a good source for starting in 3d. I mean real basic things like drawing in 3d using the splines and vertex modes. Any help is welcome, thanx in advance.

Gr,
Frank

Carrara is a good program to use. If you have Carrara 4/5 there is a few tutorials on the content CD.

Thanx for the answer. I own Carrara Pro 4. I scanned the cd's and only found a character animation tutorial on the conteny CD. As I am rather new I am looking for tutoroal for the very basics of 3d drawing and how to do this with carrara.

It does have about 10 video tutorials. It does show how to use the spline and vertex modeler I think.

Do you refer to the quicktour?

There is a set of ten videos on the Content CD that can help you get started. They look like website icons. If you click the first one the whole tutorial comes up. I can not remember where it is on the Content CD for Carrara 4. I guess Eovia is going to add more tutorials to the website.

If it looks like the image below then you found it. It should help you get started. Use the manual to get real good.
