Hi all. First off I am new to 3D Modeling, Blender, and the forums here. What exactly do I need to learn so I can make great creations like you guys. I’m not too familiar with the commands, prompts, etc. So, I really need help. It would be appreciative you anyone can help me out with just making 1 object and making it do a animation, but all I want is basic for now. Thank you for your time, and I hope to have some answers soon!

As well as quite a few tutorials around. A Google search gnerally turns up lots of interesting things to try out.
