Where can I find good tutorials and examples on how to model in Maya well? I really could use some help to even have 3d art good enough to even be associated with this site. Thanks!
Youtube and Google has always been my best friends. If you want a walkthrough though try 3dTotal.com they havent steered me wrong and its a good place to lay down some foundation

Sometimes it helps if you have an overwhelming interest that inspires passion! Most modelers seem to have a concentration preference ( at least to start out with ).
It seems most modelers come to cg sculpting from varying interests. You have the model car types, or the military weapon / vehicle types, The largest interest group are probably chracter artists who concentrate on organic topology concerns when they are not brushing. But even character artist seem to have sub diciplines like your Frazetta Fantasy warrior types, Or your sexy Stahlberg pin up girl types. To my eye it seem as if the best environment artists are also good concept artists.
If you have such a passion, it will probably be easier for the members to turn you on to good artists and good reference material.
