You shouldn't need to waste your money on a glossary. I'm not the greatest person in 3D either, but you can pick up a lot pretty easily, and most is common sense. It would be much cheaper to just ask here at SM. I've asked a lot of questions that i thought were dumb, but i still got an answer. There's somebody out there just like you or me, maybe just one step ahead, and wlling to give help. Never hurts to ask.
