It took me 100 hours and 5-10 years but I can modeling a realistic vehicle and other objects in 3d. It was time consuming and challenging but it was worth it. And honestly I've used my 3d modeling skills to build displays and products. It has helped me land jobs and keep jobs. It was a hobby. > > I'm not afraid of the hard work.

Following threads can get tricky when there are sometimes hundreds of replies. That said with existing programming skills I'd recommend starting out with Python 3, with this http://www.diveintopython3.net/ as good a place as any. If that doesn't suit you feel free to come back, stating why and we'll find you an alternative. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.
