I am new to this area. I have messed around some with Blender and a little bit with Lightwave but that is about it. I am in the market for some software and possible some educational material that I could study on my own. So what program should I start out on? Whenever I hear people talking about 3D art, I almost always hear them talking about Maya. The price is not a factor, so if someone could recommend some good software for me to start out on and practice on, that would be great.
