If you want to start customizing Wallpapers are a good start. By making a lot of them and getting feedback you'll find what you like and what teh community likes and maybe find that middle ground that is a *good* wall.

The tools don't matter as much as the time you spend learning and listening. I look forward to seeing your work.

Im interested in programs like Corel and Bryce, 3D graphics suites, ive already tried the photoshop thing and thats not really what i want to do id much rather render 3D images and edite them with CS2 witch is what you do im assuming, im really just lookin for the best thing out there, price doesnt really matter im lookin for quality and a easy to use User Interface.

Ok.

Bryce 6 was just released recently, and you can buy it for quite a discount right now. Bryce 5 is still available for free, so it's a great way to try it out before investing in the upgrade.

Coreldraw is another great program and is used by several great artists including Mormegil, who also has great tutorials about Coreldraw. You can also download a trial for Coreldraw to see if it fits your needs.

As far as other 3D programs go, Vue is one of my personal favorites for landscape generation.

There are also a few other "high end" 3D programs such as 3ds Max, Lightwave, Maya, etc. I would recommend downloading the trials for several programs and seeing what you like before you invest in them.

Have fun, and let us know what you decide.

Well, i have been looking at the things you can make with other programs and i keep running across people talking about making 3D renders in photoshop, is the a side program you need to install in order to do so because when i go to render there is no 3D transform , and if there is a program i need plz tell me.

There used to be one, but I cannot remember the name. However I do remember it was just basic renders. Let me see if I can find it.

I think you are thinking of Adobe Illustrator. The 3d effects are in CS and CS2.
