So I want to start learning how to make 3d models, my inspiration is dota 2 on steam or just steam in general, they have a workshop to submit your designs and get it in game. Where would I even start to learn something like that? What programs can I start out with and just mess around in to make some 3d models with

I've done 3D chars on blender which is free.
