3ds Max comes with a load of beginner tutorials, that will teach you all the basics you need to know. After that, Google is always a good source for Tutorials .

Hey there and welcome to polycount!

This is going to sound smart ass but really it is the quickest easiest and most through way I've found to learn 3dsmax aside from a personal tutor.

Google

Once you get past the interface and get your feet wet you'll probably be asking specific questions that are easier to answer.

Good luck!

Have a look at Digital Tutors too, in my opinion they offer the best learning path for Max and Maya for beginners. They haven't got a huge amount of Max stuff on offer, but definitely check out their intro to modelling. Their instructors are fantastic, they show you every last detail in the beginner courses, none of that 'ok carry on with this then come back in the next video when I'll have done 4 more hours work and made the model 10 times more complex'.

Because of their new subscription pricing model you'll be able to access their whole library too which means you can go on to look at their ZBrush stuff or whatever too if you wanted.

Also, between tutorials, try making something yourself using the tips you picked up in the tutorials, when I was a complete beginner, I made the mistake of going through four or five courses before I tried anything on my own, and I'd almost forgotten the basics.

Eat3D offer some game asset related tutorials too which are incredible once you've got into Max.
