to help me get going,
i would like to know what most of the authors use in terms of creating "3d objects" and what language has to be learnt to wright the code.
now i am a beginner , but i am very eager to start learning.

You don't really "need" to learn a language to make 3d objects. There are several programs that make the process pretty easy like 3dstudiomax and the like.

Maybe pov-ray if you want to learn a little about making really good 3d images.

And you sure did find the right place to learn about customizin your desktop.

well, if you want something easy to learn you should get your hands on bryce. It really is the most easy program (well, exept for terragen maybe but that just dasn't require skills).
It also isn't as expensive as 3ds max or other 'big' programs.

If you have access to "Digit" Magazine in your country. issue #69 (recent issue) has a free full Terragen program on the cover disc.

I believe also that early versions of "Bryce" are available with some graphics magazines too. Used to be avaialable on the web, but got pulled by Corel a while back.

To further these, if you want to play with the results of the things *you've* (well, the proggy really) made, I have also seen (free) full versions of Paint Shop Pro 5 on graphic arts magazines.

Should be enough there to give you the start you're looking for.
Most graphics programs do have a trial version, which is usually good for around 30 days use. Get on over to Google, and see what you can find.

Good luck to you and welcome

good response.
thanks for the info.
kongit made a good point, i dont wanna rush out there and buy an expensive program when i dont really know what im doing.
ill look at this bryce. sounds like a good start.
speaking on languages:
you say there is no need to learn "vb" or what ever u use to write scripts?
like for an example iv seen a desktop object that has an option which allows u to edit the script. was this script computer generated or did someone write it? sorry if this is a stupid question(tho i think it is )
