Can any one suggest an easy to use 3D Computer Graphics package, for a complete beginner in this field. Some tutorials would be helpfully or beginners site would be helpfully to start.

thanks

Can you give us more of a clue as to what the end result you're looking for is?

3D CGI covers everything from a bit of smoke in the background to spinning titles to animated figures to the Starship Enterprise: there are complicated programs which will do all of these, or simple ones which will do one of them.

What are you trying to do?

books opening is done wonderfully by Canopus Xplode - photoalbum effect

Hollywood fx can do the same thing.

human characters is a different thing.

the free one was probably 'BLENDER'
