When I first learned 3d modeling and animation I was using Maya 3d. It was far from easy, and it was a process. Fast forward a handful of years and the curiosity that was Blender 3d has evolved into quite the powerful 3d modeling and animation tool.
The objects in the images above were all created using procedural textures (not image based), but the backgrounds were image based textures (gravel and dirt were created from 2d image textures).
