Make a Picture
It is often the case that a person looks at a 3d design program and feels intimidated. Really though, it is no more complicated than a modern word processor, and it is not necessary to understand everything to start making impressive projects.
Some programs evolved from Computer Aided Design and others from applications geared towards animation. It is for each person to decide which approach they prefer.
A graphics application with paremetric features allows you to edit objects quickly with a high degree of accuracy.
Software to create 3d objects is available on a wide range of platforms, there are open source and propietary choices, and you can choose to pay or use a free option.
