At Digital-Tutors, we’ve found that many students starting out in modeling have difficulty in creating the specific vision they have. In many cases it’s not necessarily a lack of knowledge of the tools as much as it is a lack of confidence and experience. So, to give you a head start on your modeling, we’ve put together a number of tips collected from production and from teaching students that will help you build the best models you can with minimal frustration.

if you’re unsatisfied with the results of your work, don’t blame the tool but the one using it.

Thanks, loving Maya at the moment too :)
Maya is the best for animation (read: most powerful, might be overkill for your needs), Modo is the best for polygon modeling. That’s the key of Avatar’s pipeline so disagreeing it’s either the best or one of the best combos you can get is naive, not to mention Maya has the most/best animation training material you can get over the earth.
That’s why I agree it’s a waste of time learning how to model in Maya, if anything get to know the basics so you can get away with small tweaks without needing to export your model – which might bring you nightmares – but don’t waste time doing it all in Maya. If you *really* want to keep all your production needs into one app, then I recommend you get the NEX plugin, but that’s currently not available for 2011.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
