Default Re: Getting started - suggestions

Hi headerko!

The manual and the guides on this site are a good place to start. A lot of the tutorials for other programs also work for AC3D as the concepts are pretty similar; if you search the forums, many people have recommended good ones.

The best way to learn is by doing. Start with something *simple* and try building it. The biggest mistake people make is that they start with something very complex, like a character, and then they get frustrated. Start with something easy: a skyscraper, a coffee mug, a wine glass. Once you begin to understand the basics, work up to more and more complex things. You'll progress much faster that way.

Asking questions is always welcome too! There are many nice people here on the forums.
