Quite a steep learning curve, and if you're planning to do Warcraft 3 models with it, you may have to use some windows programs :S

However, if its unrelated to Warcraft, you should be fine.

use darwine a windows emulater (this lets you use windows programs)
and some of orwinlkes tools for windows

im having some problems with thewindows programs i wish to use, you see, most of them come compressed in exe. files.
and i dont know any fully functionary exe-converter for mac...

EXE files are windows applications.

I've never got that to work, I downloaded the PPC version (I don't have an intel mac), but it never does anything

You need to have X11 installed. More specifically, I think you need the X11 from Mac os 10.4 Tiger installed, rather than 10.5 Leopard. Leopard uses a new version of X11 which is moderately broken, and does all sorts of annoying things. Since I have Leopard, I can't (yet) run Darwine. Fortunately (and also unfortunately for other reasons) I have an Intel mac, so I can just Dualboot into Windows, however for you, I'm not sure what to do. If you are running Tiger and not Leopard, make sure you have X11 installed.
