Skulldigs,
I am glad to see you using Blender, I am a user and have been for over a year. There are somethings you should know about blender before you start downloading every other program known to man.
Blender does:
Animate, UV unwrap (with several different methods), sculpt, export and import in about a 25 or so different formats.
Blenders system for animation is easy to use but presents a problem when loading animated models in to FPSC. If you are hell bent on getting characters in to FPSC then you should either purchase Character studio or Milkshape3D. as far as paint studios go you have been given a list and there is no reason for me to beat a dead horse.
If you have any question sbaout blender please feel freet o ask.
Cheers,
Dave
