Question
Hi. I have just started using 3dsmax and Photoshop. Can you tell me any good tutorials for them..as for beginners? or how can i learn through internet?

Answer
Most people do not realize how easy it is to find 3D Max tutorials.  Simply go to Yahoo or Google and type a search "3D Max tutorials" or "3D Max beginner tutorials" or whatever search you want in simple English (and use "3D Max" rather than "3DSMax" because it is written that way more commonly.)  

This is exactly how I learned the software in the beginning.  You will find more tutorials about the software than you can go through in a lifetime!!!  A better way to learn the software is to have a goal.  For instance, if you want to learn how to model a car, search "3D Max tutorial modelling a car" or if you want to grasp the use of particles, the search "3D Max particle tutorial".  

It really is that simple! You may want to invest in some books or videos later, but doing searches that way will give you plenty of instruction to get you started, and the best part of all...IT'S FREE!!!

Cheers,
Andre
