Recently studied this free open source program, after being a 3ds Max user for a year (studied it through online tutorials I could find), personally I find Blender to be a much better program as a 3D hobbyist tool for creating digital art and visualization.
Apart from it being free, it loads faster and has a smaller size yet feature packed. I find it's interface quite efficient as well, although it is still improving. While true that the standard as far as I know is 3ds Max and Maya when it comes to animation and games, Blender with it's cycles renderer is starting to rival those paid products in my opinion. As a hobbyist, and not really a CG student/professional, Blender is a great tool for me to create 3D content which is widely used today.
If you haven't tried Blender yet then give it a chance, it's a nice program. For tutorials just go to Andrew Price's website http://www.blenderguru.com which has easily helped me understand more about Blender.
