Video training for AutoCAD 3D?

I am learning the principles of basic AutoCAD functions at the Lynda website. Good site and all, but on many of their training programs they lack a step beyond the essentials. I would like training on modeling/rendering at a beginner-intermediate level from start to finish. I've found websites with free vids, but they jump right into the process without considering those who haven't fully grasped the concept of AutoCAD. I learn only through a step-by-step methodology. I don't want the bits and chunks, I want the whole gamut of what it takes to take an initial 2D draft to 3D rendering. I don't believe you can get the gist of it through books. Videos are the best way. Any suggestions?

1. Have you tried http://www.cadtutor.net/tutorials/autocad/index.php?category_id=24 ? It shows basic videos for beginners, and how to set things up for solid and rendering. However, it deals with the latest versions of Autocad, so if you are using an older version then seek advice from their forums.
