Read the docs start by instant maya then roam the net an read everything... Oh and remember it can take months before you are any good (or actualy years, but modelling is a quite easy its when yu start to animate whan it gets complicated).

I'm currently reading a tutorial (Lerning Maya) but the tutorial is not for Maya 4, so it is a litle hard...
Du you have any adress to som beginners site for lerning Maya 4? It would be a greate help...
