[ART] Learning How To Model!

[FragdaddyXXL]

There's a lot to learn. I would tackle these things roughly in order:
Basic Modeling (to basically feel comfortable with the software)
Basic Texturing (Modeling is only half of it)
I'd get very familiar with the Edit Poly modifier (In Max, not sure about Maya).
Get a good grasp on UVW Mapping.
And the rest you'll come across along the way.
Google is the best way to find sites completely devoted to user-submitted tutorials.

I'm reluctant to try to make models for Amnesia because of past troubles with getting models into the Source Engine and Gary's Mod xD. What a nightmare.
