uhhhhhmmmm
Milkshape is NOT free it has a free 30 day trial... then it costs 20 dollars or 28 dollars now i think
but for Drider_it... you do NOT want Maya or Max unless you are planning on being a commercial game / video artist .. these programs cost thousands of dollars... Max is currently 3500 dollars US, maya is 2000 US... so it doesnt look from your post that you are serious about becoming a modeler... i would suggest if you are, to go to school for it... and either way, check out
www.milkshape3d.com the milkshape site has links to tutorials... also,
www.polygods.com has video tutorials you can download on using milkshape... also check out
www.dosfx.com ... walks you through creating a model and skinnign it
Ive used max the most, but am planning on getting into maya... and also will mess around with milkshape, its a great program, seen some awesome stuff with it... mainly for creating game models... ALOT of game engines are supported
