Hrmm... not completely sure if this should go in Cyber Deals, but it is quite a deal, so here it goes.
Basically, the folks over at www.3dbuzz.com will be running an online course in 3ds Max, and best of all, its free. Without trying to sound too much like an ad, they put out some great training videos, so if you've been wanting to give it 3ds Max a try, sign up.
Just join the website, and after logging in, there should be a bar on the left. Click online courses, and go from there.
It would also be cool to get help from my fellow overclockers....

In a nutshell:
- You watch the VTM (doesn't matter the order you watch the videos)
- Each video has a multiple choice Quiz.
- You need a 90% or higher to pass the quiz. (You don't see which were your wrong answers. It was basically to make sure you viewed the VTM.)
- After you pass all the quizes, you'll have a bunch of assignments. (Including both essays and work.)
- You then do a project, and finally take a test (70% to pass, you see your wrong answers).
- Once you pass your test, you then start the process over again in a new module!
- Buzz rates all the work himself. (Generally.) Zak also helps.
- You join the course with 1000 points.
- Every thread in the forum is assigned a "point value" based on how important/difficult the question is to the asker. The person who answers it the best gets the point value assigned.
- You are assigned 5 points per day that you visit the course.
- Good work can also give you bonus points.
- There are no "set times" where you have to be online.
- No due dates for assignments.
- You can join the course at any time.
- It is go at your own pace.
