I don't know how far back I could go because I started a little over a year ago.
I know you asked Vatcher, but I thought I'd pipe in.

i studied graphic design in college, and the school started it's multimedia/CG program during my last year...so i missed out. if i had known how much interest i was to have in the field of 3D, i definately would have purchased an app or two, and i'd be working in the field today instead of just as a spare-time hobbyist. ...or at least incorporating 3D work into my designs at a more professional level than i am currently.
my advice...start young and learn, learn, learn. employers are looking for people w/ a multitude of talents/skills, while specialists are having a tough time finding work. ...and i think that the more varied your work is, the less humdrum, monotonous, and unfulfilling it eventually becomes.

thanks man, i can't wait to go to college, and plan on spending this whole next year before college learning max mostly, and some others, i would at least like to walk in and keep up with everything he says or maybe even be ahead of him to build from what i already learned, from that they might give me a chance to work for somewhere big, after all the college is owned by nintendo whoooo!

haha! i'm 26...there's always hope, and i'm not too old to start learning more and eventually work in the industry. that's the good thing about the Real World...age isn't a factor, desire is.

video? does that help things alot more then a book? more in depth?
and thanks for the materials you listed to get, sounds good
-
hmmmm...do you have a VCR near your computer?
i find reading books easier than watching movies, just b/c i can flip faster than i can rewind/ffwd. i love the CD-ROMs though...it's nice to see what's happening on the screen, pausing it, then experimenting w/ the application...all on your desktop.
