Modeling for Half-Life 2

[Dredd]

Hi there
I want to learn how to model, especially for Half-Life 2, but i don't have any modeling experience at all. I tried making a model with 3D Studio Max, but it didn't really work out. Now I want to try again for Half-Life 2. Can you guys tell me how you learned to model?? Can you point me to good tutorials or books on 3D Studio Max (preferably in Dutch, but English is fine too)

Thanks !!

start searching here: www.cgtalk.com , and go to the 3dmax section. there are probly a few who speak dutch there also.
