I need a graphics/paint program. I am not an artist, but I am a SF writer, or trying to anyway. I would like something that I could put 3D object together to make a space ship or the like. I would like to use jpgs and bumps to bit map over objects. And I'd like to make maps. Is there a program that will do all of this that is relatively cheep?
I am thinking about CorelDraw and paint shop pro. Anyone know anything about them? Or is there something better out there?
