3D Modelling learning resources

Introduction
This page is dedicated to sharing learning materials regarding 3D modelling.

Blender
Blender is a free and open source 3D modelling package, which you can get at http://www.blender.org/. It is the main package used in the society, and also the package taught in the Computer Science degree.

A brilliant, professional and very extensive course about Blender can be found here http://gryllus.net/Blender/3D.html. This teaches everything from the very basics, optimal workflow techniques, best practices in 3D modelling, and then goes into more advanced topics such as animation, sculpting, rigid bodies, etc. It is a lengthy course, but the knowledge gained from it is really industry grade. It does not really go into character modelling/animation though.
