graphics/3d... whats good and affordable?

[RLa777]

ok look i want awesome real looking graphics and 3d for my sites, with out having to go to collage and take out aloan to get it.
I tried free hand fire works and photo shop. But I want something with a little less involvment and more presets.
I love the look of bryce images But love the simplicity of adobe image styler I hear Swift 3d is good but is it me or is that too cartoony for good web designing?

Just about all flash stuff comes out "cartoony" It's just how vector looks.

[RLa777]

Yeah I know a lot of flash looks cartoony but I have seen some site where the graphics are real deap and real looking and not so charle brown yopu know thats what kinda graphic tool I want something that will give me some realization and depth.
or if nothing else just post up yall sites here and state what type of graphic prog. you used that would give me some Idea thanks!!!

I cant get into the flash..with or without the intro.

for graphics you cant go far wrong with Photoshop, otherwise Paint Shop Pro is OK.
For 3D choose Swift3D or 3D Max Studio

[RLa777]

Man 3d studio max is not very affordable, swift 3d I might have to go with I heard some good things about it just not sure if thats what I want! Like I said I want to create images with depth and realism. thanks guys
""" would appreciate more sites please with original 3d graphic design""" please post what image prog. you used.
