I have characters that I would like to make 3d, but all the terms are too difficult to learn and i have too many distractions like an annoying pet. How can I learn to do models in 3d

Its hard to teach 3D modeling in short time. I was using some tutorial movies, this is very good way to learn. I have learn lots of 3D that way. But I can tell you that you should decide first what kind of method you will choose and which one is better for your model that you want to modeling. Maybe mesh modeling will be better than solid modeling on some models, on other you will easier work with solid. So concept is very important when you modeling.

It depends on the software that you are using or you want to use. I prefer Maya so find a tutorial of maya online.

Hello samafayla, One of the best ways to learn 3D modeling is to watch video tutorials. You can take help of sites like 3Dtotal.com also. First start with modeling very basic objects and then try to create some complicated models. One of the best thing in modeling is that the methods are same for almost all 3D softwares. So it is not so software specific. All the best
