How to Make a 3D Model

welcome; moderators please sticky this thread if it is considered helpful enough.
These are the videos that have given me the opportunity to learn everything from model creating to compiling.
everything you need in order to learn how to model in 3d and how to bring a finish product in is found here on this thread; however, if you have lost all hope in your modeling skills, please visit my other thread that gives away free 3D models for commercial and personal use; link here:
