Digital Tutors is perfect if you have absolutely no experience with certain pieces of software. IIRC Digital Tutors has an insane arsenal of tutorials for Photoshop and 3DSMax. Gnomon is also quite a bit more pricey than other tutorial sites, but I've heard the quality of the tutorials are outstanding. However, I've heard…
Trust us Torch - we're learning it as well! :) We can't wait to start diving into tutorials for that stuff, but it's the same as UE4 - We got access to it at the same time as everyone else. Any exposure we have had is still learning / infancy as well. I'd be leery of too many people preaching "gospel" about UE4 and PBR, as…
I need help deciding on which one I should go with, as I am not going to university and going to spend the money I would be spending at uni on these tutorials I want to get the best possible help with 3D, I know my basics with max and relatively advanced with Photoshop, I would just prefer learn myself from the comfort of…
They're both great, and as others have said, there are other awesome services as well. 3dmotive and DigitalTutors both have active youtube channels that have "mini" tutorials on them, be sure to see which one caters more towards your learning style. http://www.youtube.com/user/3dmotiveHD/videos…

3dmotive and Eat3d are both really good websites and have a variety of tutorials to choose from - look at which one has the things you want to learn and go with that.
Regarding the advent of PBR workflow and CryEngine 3 specifically, Eat3D has a 3-Volume course(http://eat3d.com/cry3_materials_vol1) on material creation in CryEngine, does the workflow shown in this dvd still applicable to the PBR workflow? I was considering buying the CryEngine tutorials dvds in a few months but I would…
I've taken a number of courses and I much prefer the ones where you have interaction with the guy teaching. Scott Eaton's, Zbrushworkshop, and CGWorkshop will all teach you much more than going to a uni. I suggest you first get a grasp on the basics with the stand alone video tutorials like…
