Well, i simply would try things out. With the trial versions. Thats what they are for. What you would need as well i think is a modelling program. There are some not so bad free ones out like Winds3D or older versions of Cinema, Amapi etc. Only those make it a round package for professional use. Especially for creating 3D logos from 2D files.
