Modeling Programs Question

[Concore]

Sorry if this isn't where it is supposed to be. I am wanting to learn to make models for games, and i was wondering, what would be better to learn and why.
3ds max? or Maya? or anything else. I am not worried about cost, just best.

Maya and Cinema 4d are excellent programs for that. If you want to start off slow and build up your knowlege i recomend using the demo of cinema 4d and blender. it teaches you the basic concepts of modeling ( although blender is harder its very powerful ) Rhino is also a good program to start 3d in. hope all goes well for you.

Thanks
What is the best learning technique?

trial and error just playing around with the different tools and seeing what they do. I would search for tutorials for whatever program u do try to use and they generally tell you how to work the tools.

Currently I have 3ds max 9, I look at many tutorials and they all expect you to know the basics. Just out of curiosity, what is the deference between Maya and 3ds max

im not sure i have never really tried 3ds Max but i would recomend using Cinema 4d's demo version
its a full program
its just youcant save any of your wireframes but you can render your objects and print screen them and paste em into paint and cut out what u want.
