A basic introduction to normal mapping in 3D Studio Max originally written for the Torque Developer Network. It also gives somewhat an explanation on how the techniques work and all steps needed to properly generate them. This is my first tutorial so if there's any huge errors or anything please contact me at Kovac1274@gmail.com and I'll fix it immediatly. Hope this helps some people.

Video modelling tutorial for Blender 3D (low poly terrain section). Vids are broken down into sections; vertex blending, exporting, UVWmapping etc. so you can grab the one you have most interest in.

Great intro to animation fundamentals.

Found this in a search for a neighbor's son who wants to be an animator. It's aimed at kids, but even a seasoned pro might learn a thing or two.

a few nice newbie friendly walkthroughs of making buildings for CitiesXL. Its not exactly tutorials because they dont explain the methods much but I found it interesting to see the workflow being used and wanted to share it.

Here is the video-tutorial for #1 DW Entry. I don't know if the link wasn't already posted somewhere else on polycount, but anyway. It's a tutorial so it can be mentioned here.

The videos show in brief overview how the charackter was designed and modelled.
There is some really awesome modelling going on there. Absolutely outstanding work.
