Why don’t you use youtube? I’m sure you could find some tutorials there!
I don’t know your current situation in real life, such as if you’re a student and have a student discount on Maya and all of that jazz. But since it is ridiculously expensive to purchase on its own, I will advise that you pick up Blender at first and see if you enjoy 3D modeling first. One of the great benefits of using Blender is that there’s a large community of YouTubers and related that make a ton of tutorials to help you get started. Things that you could, if you want to, use in Maya as well. All 3D modeling software is more or less the same to some extent, so it wouldn’t be like starting from scratch.
That sales pitch aside, YouTube is definitely the way I would start with any software like this. You can also Google to see if you can find a Maya community Discord server. There is bound to be a few with people who might be able and willing to answer your questions. But I will say that the majority of people on Roblox do use Blender as it is just as powerful, if not more and it is also free.

YouTube is the best place to learn or look at tutorials from the software creators.
If you want the industry standard, learn how to UV unwrap, learn the blockout->high poly-> low poly workflow, and pick up substance painter.
You really do not need Maya if you are a beginner, blender will be perfect for you.
