The "Completely Random Look" is basically just I discovered and found interesting from a game developer persepctive and decided to share.  I dont pretend to be a master, so you certainly cant consider it a tutorial and I havent used it long enough to discover if it's truly great or awful.  Today I am looking at 123D Design and at least inititally, ITS AWESOME.

123D is a CSG modeller from Autodesk, meaning you model using solid shapes instead of polygons.  What it also is, completely by accident, is an amazingly useful modeller for game developers creating non-organic models and possibly an incredibly useful level editing tool.  Keep in mind however you will still need a product like Max, Maya or Blender to texture your models and it doesn't do organics ( like people ) very well.  

Anyways... check it out.  Oh yeah... and it's available free for non-commercial use, or just 10$ a month for commercial with a huge database of models available.  Bargain of the century here... http://www.123dapp.com/
