If you have bandwidth available then www.3dbuzz.com has excellent VTM (video training modules?) for download on pretty much everything, from max, maya, quake level design through to an introduction to c++. As far as I'm aware you can access them for free, although they have a system whereby you must be active in their forums to download, or at least to get higher priority downloads. The videos are interesting and informal and have real people talking! I've watched through their 3ds max, Unreal and gameSpace VTMs a while back and they're all excellent, better than any tutorial I've used because you can actually see it working in front of you.

I'm not sure how their system works at the moment but I was just able to download a 3ds max VTM and I've certainly not paid any money, just registered on the forums and made a few posts.

Hope this helps you

Well, I've just had another look and hopefully can clarify a bit: It looks like they have some downloads available to anyone (registered forum members that is) and others available only to member sponsors and those with a star on the forums. To get a star you have to be active on the forums and be useful and various criteria, but I think once you get the star you can download all the VTMs for free. If you pay to be a member sponsor you can download them all too.

Haven't tried 3DBuzz yet, it looks good. The best tutorial site I've seen so far is tutorialized.com, which links to a bunch of other tutorial sites.

An awesome site for some basic texturing

Hope I could help. They're out there; you just have to dig.
