Hey I am new as well. I am sorta making a hobby out of all of this for now b/c I am not quite sure I want to make a career of it.

Anyhow, perhaps someone can answer my questions:

1. Are there any places with simple models/tutorials that a beginner can work with?

2. I have heard that there are many programs out there...Mayam lightwave, 3d Max etc... Are there programs that allow you to move models from one file type to another. I currently am using Maya and Lightwave b/c I heard its easy to model in Lightwave and animate in MAYA. Please give suggestions.

3. What are some good books on basic use of all the tools/features of mainly lightwave (perhaps Maya as well)?

Thanks in advance for any help!
