Looking for introduction for 3D (sculpt/mesh)

[Voodoo Schnyder]

I'm tired of resorting to templates and low quality full perm stuff when I need something, I have no knowledge of 3D, I know photoshop, illustrator and other digital art mediums for 8 years now and I want to know if it is too hard to start making 3D sculpts/mesh, is it possible to learn that myself through internet?

Most of the 3D builders here on the forums are self taught I think, only a handful is professional. Just ask for some basic Blender (free 3D tool) tutorials in the mesh forums and see how you do. It's not all that hard to make some descent items, but a lot of 3D programs around, including Blender, are pretty imposing and there's a lot to learn to both build and import to SL for a newcomer, so prepare to put in a lot of time.
