Good day,

I am not quite sure where I could post this and, honestly, it's kinda of a stupid question, but I'm new to 3D modelling.
As silly as it might sound, I'd really like to make a career out of 3D modelling, but I don't quite know where to start :s I've been using Maya for a bit now, but I'm not sure what to do, what "path" to follow, and where I'm currently studying, the 3d Modelling classes I have are...not really that good.
I'd like to focus on making models of objects and characters to be ported to Videogames.
How did you guys started? Where do you think a person like me, with no big experience, should begin?
Thankyou for your time, and my apolagies for my english.
