10 Blender 3D tutorials worth a look

Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.

There is no harm in learning something new so I will list a few good tutorials that I will use to learn my way through blender. If you have any resources that you would like to share, please leave a comment.
