I am thinking of getting Xara X1 [:o)] is this a good idea? I heard good things about this nicely priced program!
but then I want a 3D program too... I am 15 could I get a student price for some top end software?

g'day beefcake :)
a couple of free programs that measure up to the rest are
-theGimp, imho latest version is as good as PS6, which is enough for game stuff http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/
-blender, with all the exporters it has these days, you can export any 3d work u do in this to most engines.
you can do a lot with these two, and your supporting opensource :)
ciao!
A number of Professional 3D programs are available in Legal, Free, but limited versions.
For example: Maya PLE, SoftImage|XSI EXP, Houdini (PLE?)
Google around a bit and you'll find that you can learn on the real, top-end stuff, as long as you don't need the elite level suff (ie: hair, fur, fabric etc).
