And anyone can recommend any websites to learn the basics?

3DSmax easyer to learn tbh.

3d max -> easy to model and render quickly
solidworks -> easy to model, logical interface, harder to render

^ thats the 2 i use

call me weird but only the Lightwave 3D interface makes sense to me.
but it's much less common than other softwares.

autodesk 3d max one of the popular 3d modelers, it has a million and 3 tutorial for it out there and a free trial


definitially get it, i like it myself, a bit confusing but rather simple once the main concepts have been understood

I also asked the same question on a game modding forum... and they recommended me gMax and 3Dmax..


So I'll probably stick with 3DMax

I've been in the modelling things a while

I know a very simple program and is very user friendly called Sketchup;

http://sketchup.google.com

You can make houses in just 1 day, its amazing....

When you are good with Sketchup you can step over to 3DSMax 9 :)

C4D Is, first of all, a bitch to get for free, and horrible to learn as well, IMO.
