D'oh...

y00tz, you newb.  Garrett: Never follow ANY of Nehe's guides from nehe.gamedev.net.  Ever.

(Unless you want to learn 10 year-old terrible techniques..)
Thanks for the advice.  I am reading books and what not for now.  Once I get some more experience, I'll try my luck with the online tutorials and what not.

When I searched my bookmarks, this came up: http://www.recipelink.com/mf/14/26918
Best darn wings sauce, period.

skitzo,  the basics of 3D modeling transcend software, in theory if you know what you're doing, it's just knowing what buttons to press.  Wings 3D is a great tool, but if you want to learn 3D modeling, I recommend picking up the basics of modeling there, then switching to Wings 3D when you want to master subdivision.

Regardless,

General stuff (how to model)

There's probably more, but these are just the ones I've tagged '3d' and 'wings'.
