Software for games?

Hello,

I'm not really into game programming but just want to know how this games are created like those 3D graphics and the like. If given the chance to create, what software do I need or better yet where to I start?

Generally one needs a 3d graphics engine. Companies build and will sell these. You could make one on your own, but that would require a fair amount of effort.

For the 3d graphics, models are created in some 3d modeling program. There are several out there, a couple that come to mind are Lightwave and Maya. Also used for creating 3d animated movies.
