The return of the resources/tutorials thread!

[Draven]

OK, people, you know the drill. This thread is solely for the links to

1. application manufacturer's websites
2. tutorial sites for different apps
3. resources for different apps (plugins, objects, that sort of thing)

Don't forget to say what program they're for

I'll get the ball rolling:

NewTek - makers of Lightwave 3D
Flay.Com - LightWave 3D News and Resource site - massive Lightwave resource, updated almost daily, with a searchable database of plugins and tutorials
LightWave Tutorials on the Web Splash Page - HUGE links page of Lightwave tutorials

[Primus]

http://www.discreet.com 3D Studio Max's parent company. You can order a free demo disk from them.

http://www.3dcafe.com Lots of plugins and tutorials for most 3D programs.

[Obsidian]

www.3dbuzz.com. Buzz is the KING of online 3d learning. Edit: 3DS Max, Maya, XSI, Combustion, Motionbuilder, Unreal Tournament, Houdini, um...lots of other stuff I can't think of too.
