This website has got good examples on 3D and here in this website you guys can learn things easily through video tutorials - isn’t it awesome, in this website authors has explained and they have shared their experiences well enough through the video tutorials, you guys can download those video tutorials and learn things easily.

Some of the free tutorials contains:

Skin Shading with Mental Ray

Rendering skin with the natural appearance of translucency, specularity and reflection is achievable thanks to the Mental Ray Fast-Skin material. This tutorial demonstrates how to build the necessary shading network and manage the many attributes available. While the Fast-Skin material does have integrated control for specularity and reflections, we also look at how to implement a layered shader that allows for higher level control over these phenomenon. Using a female head as our example, we start from scratch and observe every step of the process, while explaining the logic behind our creative decisions.

Chapter One: Working with the Fast-Skin Material
Chapter Two: Mapping Color, SSS Layers and Bump
Chapter Three: Layering Specularity and Reflections

Creating Believable Eyes

There is no question that eyes are one of the most critical elements of a character. While there are several way to approach the creation of eyes, this lecture presents an intuitive and quick technique that ensures believability and realism. Starting from scratch, we discuss modeling, texturing, shaders, lighting and rendering with Mental Ray. We analyze photographic reference to determine the anatomical structure of eyes so that our textures and shaders create natural color, bump, transparency, specularity, reflection, refraction and highlights.

Chapter One: Photo Reference and Modeling
Chapter Two: Texturing the Iris
Chapter Three: Texturing the Eye Body and Cornea
Chapter Four: Shaders, Lighting and Rendering…

Software Rendering Particles, Blobby Particles Part One

The Blobby particle render type is a software render method that allows particles to be assigned standard Maya shaders. The Blobby render type can be used to create a wide variety of render styles including liquids, plasma or bubbbles. This lecture demonstrates the fundamental particle and shader knowledge necessary to control the look of Blobby particles…
