Quote - I just got blender today. I thought I'd take a little break from Poser and try something else... I installed the program, open it up and took a look for a second and said "What the hell is all this!?"
does anyone know where I can find tutorials or some getting started links or something... I swear this is really confusing. I played around for a bit but didn't get anywhere.

I thought the same thing when I first downloaded Blender.  I have gotten to where I can sort of model decent stuff, but it terms of all of Blender's capabilities and I am sure I have only tapped the surface.  I have no clue how to do a lot of what's in it. 

I used the Wikibooks Noob to Pro thing that Robyn posted when I got started.  These days, when I have questions I just ask reddog, or one of the other helpful Blender experts around here.
