Wings is a great program, and coming to it fresh, with no previous 3D modeling experience may make it easier for you to follow, Elv. However, as a person who's been making NURBS models for awhile now in the 4 window and laid out command setup of Rhino, I find programs with a setup similar to Wings and Silo (another subdivison modeler), difficult to jump into. The programs I find I took to quickly outside of Rhino were LightWave and 3D Studio Max, though they are expensive. Many people use Rhino to make stuff for Poser but the price and somewhat lacking polygon based tools may hinder your decision to buy it. My reccomendation to you would be to try out a few demos of the popular programs in your price range and see which you find more appealing. As BazC has stated, all modeling programs are capable of great results in the right hands.
