Xhris07, the learning process is a bit confusing if u haven't used any 3D program before but once u get the hang of it, or at least the basics, u'll be able to pick different modeling techniques very quick. polygon modeling is more or less the same in all the software packages but NURBS/SPLINE modeling differs. The best tools for NURBS/SPLINE modeling are Rhinoceros and Alias Studio (formerly Studio Tools) - the links are provided above.

Just a word of advice, try and stick to the software package that u most comfortable with, try them all out (most of them have 30 day trials) and see which one suites your needs or taste. Enjoy...

Thanks Blaze I will certainly do that. I will try each of them out and see what I like and don't like. Thanks for the advice on this.
