Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Bookmarks - 3D art, character modelling etc...

Been a bit busy lately, i recently posted these on another forum, ( and quite a few people new to this stuff appreciated them, so i thought it might help out a few people here), some of my old bookmarks (mainly to help out a friend just getting started with character work.)

Just thought that some of these may come in handy for a few of you if your just getting started with character work and/or 3DSMax.

These are mainly for 3D character modellers, and game artists.

One of the best 3DSMax video tutorial website, your ever likely to find.

Mainly character modelling, but also has tutorials for Z-Brush, photoshop tips and much more. I know the name of the URL looks strange but it's all to do with artwork and modelling (a great friend of mine.) :-)
