Does anyone know any good 3D modeling software for beginners to start out with?
Something free and legal would be really nice, but commercial products are okay too.

I don't plan to use it for a game, I just want to try it out and see how it goes.
Hm, you could try using Blender. I've personally used it for a short while, and I've seen some other people in my old 3D Studio classes use it for their projects. It's actually quite powerful for an open source engine! Some people have made short, really well crafted films with it, like Sintel and Big Buck Bunny.

The only thing that I could say about Blender is that its user interface is horrible. I much preferred using Maya back then...as finicky as it was, at least its user interface had some semblance of organization. But then again, I suppose that is the price of using open source software. :V

Otherwise, I think Autodesk still offers "free" versions of their Maya software. (The Personal Learning Edition? Does it still exist...?)
Interesting article on Free 3D software...

Check the specs & make sure it supports the file format you need for your game/application.
i'd recommend wings 3D, it's what catamites started using for his low-poly stuff
