I was just wondering if most of the people who post on this web site have been through some kind of schooling on computer animation. If not I would like to know how you came to know how to use blender. 
I read the Blender manual after learning Maya on my own via tutorials.
read tutorials, read the manual, experimented…
i am very much so self taught and i new pretty much everything there is to know about modeling i blender before i even joined the forum here so equipped with the forum, manual, and blender 2.34 you can do alot! just give it time and you will make it!
