Where to continue ?

Hello!

I started using 3ds max for about 2 months ago, And went through the tutorial "Essential Training" for 3ds max 2011 from lynda.


I would like to get some help on where i should continue to learn..

I have followed some tutorials, but it's hard to find tutorials that are at the right level, not too easy but not for the most advanced user and so on.

So if anyone could recommend me some beginner to advanced beginner tutorials i would be more than happy, Also a recommendation for more tutorial sites (excluding 3dm3 ) that you think would be helpful would be nice.

You could say that i just need a guideline for where to continue where i left off from the "Essential training".

Other facts:

Essential Training, consists of the following chapters:

1. Getting Started
2. The 3ds Max Interface
3. Modeling Basics
4. Modeling with Splines
5. Lofting
6. Modeling for Motion Graphics
7. Polygon Modeling
8. Subdivision Surface Modeling
9. Polygon Modeling with Graphite
10. NURBS Modeling
11. Materials Basics
12. Camera Basics
13. Lighting Basics
14. Keyframe Animation
15. Hierarchies
16. Controllers and Constraints
17. Special Effects
18. Scanline Rendering

I have experience from "Solid Edge", A CAD program from Siemens.

Thanks in Advance

my advice to you is to start doing something... like interior, or some other scene
wher you can master your skills and learn directly things you need to know
my opinion is that solving problems will help you to get better (because believe me, in max there is nothing like problemless work ;)
