Newbie needs help

Mane

Hello guys i am new at this 3D world and i have no idea where to start.At the moment i am studding Maya 2010 from the PDF book getting started with Maya, but interest is for Zbrush and MudBox i really want to learn that thing so i can make anything i want but i am stuck ,can´t find some good tutorials where can show me the basic of the Zbrush and then push me for the next level.
Another thing, i suck at drawing, i hate drawing since little boy, but i love to model some good organic creatures and mechanics robots.
Do you any good tutorials for Zbrush and MudBox?
And any good sites with reference, i heard that it´s good way to model something in Maya and Zbrush or MudBox.

There are plenty of beginner tutorials if you just google it...or look on youtube.

You can make anything you want without going to Zbrush/Mudbox, they're just other tools for getting there. I'm not saying not to learn them, just know that they aren't the only answer. Even if you don't want to learn to draw, it's still a good idea to study traditional art skills. Knowing how color and light work is especially valuable. Your local library can be a great help there. Don't expect that knowing how to use the software will make it easy by itself.

For Zbrush, there are great beginner tutorials on their site: http://www.pixologic.com/zclassroom/homeroom/, so start with those. You can also get some good Mudbox tutorials from Autodesk, though I believe they require registration to view -- check them out at http://area.autodesk.com/tutorials?word=&where=1&software=11&tutotips=&level=

In general, you can find some good tutorials at CGTuts. You can also do searches on YouTube or Vimeo. Don't assume that a tutorial geared toward other software can't help -- most things can be adapted. For reference, do some Google image searches or look at the reference thread here for ideas. I know at the least there are some good links in there for robots. You can also look at blueprints, schematics, and the like. Knowing how machines go together makes mechanical modeling much easier.
