I really like icons like those created by SoftFacade.com:

I read the interview from one of their founders, where he mentions that they use "3d tools" without going into specifics.

A document with recommendations:

You can check this comprehensive MSDN article on icon creation. IMHO it is one of most valuable all-basics-in-one-place sources around. It focuses on creation of 3D icons for Microsoft Windows, but the principles are universal.

Some of the big names in 3d modeling are Blender (Free, OSS), Maya, and 3ds Max.

Sorry for only posting a couple of links, it won't let me post more! I'll add some if I get enough rep to post more than 2 links.
