There are several applications that are industry standard (Adobe: Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.) but there are others that many use as well (freehand, fireworks, corel draw.)
There are several 3D applications. (Maya, 3D studio max… and tons more.)
My suggestion is to look at the job boards in the field you are interested in. Many times they list the applications and level of proficiency.
thanks
I only recently started using Corel for illustration stuff and i find it pretty good (ok, i am not a pro…). Some others use Illustrator and they find it (and it might be) better once it is more compatible with Photoshop and other Adobe software.
Experiment and use the one you feel more confortable to work with.
