You should go for Rhino(ceros). 

It is a very strong and intuitive programme dedicated for
3D-modelling. It is not intended for final rendering (although it has
rendering functions). You can save directly to POVray files if you
like.  
Rhino version 1.0 was released a few weeks ago (priced something like
700 USD) after a couple of years with more than 100.000 beta-testers.
 
You can go by downloading free versions that will work for a couple of
months each time.
Check it out on http://www.rhino3d.com/

Download some of the tutorials (the flashlight, the duck, the squeeze
bottle, and the hammer in that order). After having done them: you're
stuck with Rhino.
Lot's of other tutorials on the net (the Rhino Ring). 
The help in the programme is extensive.
