If you go the Blender route, I highly suggest http://www.blenderguru.com/

Also, make sure you grab Blender 2.5, as it is a HUGE improvement to Blender 2.4x. If you're going for photorealism, you might want to check out LuxRender/LuxBlend

You won't be sorry dude. Blender may be a freebie but its awful powerful. You'll be amazed at what it can do. BTW ... steep learning curve but well worth it. IMO
