i do not like 3d modeling bc i suck at all-things-design (even css). it's a very steep learning curve so make sure you google and learn.

unfortunately i dont have enough experience with max
btw there is a free version of xsi (now called softimage) so called xsi mod tool (it changed name to softimage mod tool) - you can look for it on autodesk web site
anyway no matter which program you decide to use:
1. learn basics / tools - check tutorials that you get with program you choose
2. once you know how to use basic tools (although you cant even make a good looking cube) look for specific tutorials
use google / youtube for free ones or if you want to waste some cash look for Gnomon / Digital Tutors (those are awesome)
if you know how to use some 3d program you can use tutorials from any other 3d program - it will use different names for tools and different shortcuts but you can always get the idea how to do something

anyway, wings3d is pretty good modeling program
some of my friends are using it and it is really fast once you do some practice
and links you found are not bad at all
don't forget to check youtube
just make sure you put right keywords in search
also - check other tutorials on youtube, btw http://www.vimeo.com has lots of great tutorials and nice stuff too (and it's also free)
http://www.3dbuzz.com is also mostly free / you have to register to see some of them
and don't "run away" if there are no tutorials for specific program you use
think of it like driving a car - pretty much they are all the same - just "small" differences in design

Side note: don't you wish the mods would sometimes take threads like this, turn it into a guide, and sticky it? It has lots of great information and it's sad to know that it will go to a different page in less than a week and won't be looked at anymore..
