That's the one I used, too. Great tutorial.

Get Gmax - which is free - or 3ds Max - which costs money, but is what most people are using - and just get working. It's all about getting experience. The more, the better.

Another tip once you've gotten the hang of it: in 3ds Max you can bind your keys to different actions. As far as I know, "rotate view" isn't bound to anything by default, although there is a button for it in the bottom-right corner. I always map that to my V key. You'll probably use it loads, so it's good not to have to click the button every time. If you ask me, that's one of the most useful bits of customisation you can do.

For me, holding alt and middle mouse button was the default for rotating view.
