Tutorials Needed

[Gizza]

Hello everyone,
I am in need of some good tutorials so I can make some good mods. Lately I've been just making some Semi-Crap mods. So I really need some of these tutorials. Id look myself but I do not know what half stuff is called.

1. I need some modelling tutorials (And a place to get a free modeling program).
2. Some photoshop help. I need to know how to make good scenary like cool grass and stuff.
3. Some cool stuff to do with Entity. I heard I can add like fire into a map using entity. Also Id like to know how to add trees stuff like that.
4. Those backfire rings. I don't know if these are just Shader swaps or what But I would like some good tutorials on how to make those Circle rings shoot out while im firing.
5. Active fog/snow/rain. I would like to know how to make that Active snow, rain and fog because they are so l33t and look good on a few mod ideas I have.
6. This isn't a tutorial but I need help what Mod's people like. Do they like Fun Mods with Superfast run, Skinning a modeling, all those put together, cheat mods or whatever?

Thank's and if you can help me with some of this stuff it would be a BIG HELP!!

Fun Mods with Superfast run, cheat mods

That'd be a no. We don't cheat here.
