Ok so I'm new.
I've experimented and done some freestyle stuff but nothing like the stuff you guys got on here.
Thanks ahead of time.

Nothing really just a couple of cubes, spheres and played around with human IK.Post some of the stuff you have done so people can get an idea of what level your at. After that they might be able to point you in the right direction.
I just started, don't even know what IK means.
I'm mainly a web page builder.

I know it sounds a lot and I don't know if it's all possible with Maya alone.
But I am willing to learn.

Basics
Maya Tutorial: Basics part 1 of 5 - YouTube
This is what just about everyone starts with for car modeling
https://www.3dm3.com/tutorials/maya/350z/
This should help you get a grip on character modeling
https://www.3dm3.com/tutorials/maya/character/
Environment modeling is a pretty vague subject, so I can't really help there. Depends on the type of environment
And creature modeling is pretty much an extension of human modeling, in the sense that is uses the same techniques (as far as I know)

Can you explain more about terrain and why it's so vague?
Any thing on full body modeling?

As for full body modeling, haven't had a look through, but this is the first thing I've found

uhhh... you know maya comes with tutorials right...?Sorry, I can't afford any tutorials.
Any beginners tutorials for free.
you should do those first before you get into other tutorials because it's up to date with the current version of maya you're using.
You might end up picking up an old tutorial where the interface is slightly different and you'll end up confuzzled but if you had done the basic tutorials that come with maya you wouldn't be so confuzzled!
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

You can also search things like youtube. https://www.youtube.com/results?searc...+tutorial&aq=f
If you're going to excel in 3d, you need to learn how to search for your answers first
We're here if you get stuck!
