Field of Product design
I'm curious about the market out there..... For all you professionals out there, if you are given a project to do a 3d model of a new product design (you have to design the product from your own idea), what are the correct steps or procedures in making a final 3d model? Thank you..

I would first do a lot of concept sketches, and also I would switch software. I would choose Alias|wavefront Studio or designer for this since Maya is more of an animation and film software and Studio is aimed at CAD - and you need CAD like software for designs.
Designs usually should be modeled in NURBS Degree 5 - 7 surfaces and Studio excells in this area. Also Studio exports directly for production in various formats like IGES, STL, PRO/E etc.
anyway.
Create the concept sketches
model the object
export for production
ofcasue you can break down each point in smaller stages with rendering, texturing etc.. but that would basicly cover it..
