Ditto to every thing vonTorpitz said,
for better or worse I come from a Blender and Gimp back ground and can do 3d as well as graphics and textures. no clue if Blender will be of any use to me for tweaks and eventual mods but as least the concept of 3d isn't alien to me. so far I am having a lot of luck with Gimp working for the photo shop stuff so that is a "win"
