3D modeling, any suggested tutorials?

[Mina Darsh]

Hi all, I've always kinda wanted to learn 3D modeling, I bet it's a slow and painful process, but I also hope to once I get started, to get good at it. But that aside as the basics are needed first of course.

*Cough.* I'll be posting my questions here then:

-Are there any tutorials you can suggest that can even teach the greatest idiot to 3D model? (Now I'm pretty good with interfaces, but lots of tutorials I've seen always leave me guessing about what is meant, as if there is tons of info they assume you already know... Could be just me though.)

-What program is best to use? I see many use Blender, so I guess I'll go with that, unless you guys have a better suggestion?

-What I mostly wish to do eventually is being able to use 3D models inside video editing, I love the idea of using home-made CG for movies made. Anything I should keep in mind with that goal?

That'll be all for now, hope someone is willing to share their vast knowledge on awesome 3D skills and how to acquire them. :B
