Getting my project started but...

#1 Are you using all of that software on the first day? I wouldn't worry too much about being fully stocked before you begin. In 99% of cases, you can run to the store and buy it as soon as you need it.

But, yeah, I think you've covered your bases.

#2 All that is stuff I've been learning over the past 2 years... I've just finished a Gannt chart for my self and it's planned to be completed about 07-2009.

I just wanted to make sure theres nothing ive forgotten..

#3 Try downloading Wings 3d.
It runs on all platforms, is free, and is much easier to learn and use than blender. Downside, no animation, and a weak texturing system. I would just use it for 3d modeling if I were you.

#4 @Davis

Your profile means you are new, so let me explain a few things:

A to put 3d models into your game, you need a 3d modeller that has the ability to export as a .DTS file, otherwise it won't work.

@Kevin

Look into Houdini rather then Blender, it has nice texturing system, and it probably has the best animation system for any modeler.

I would say that you should do this:

Use Blender for making the objects, it is easier then Houdini.
Use Houdini for animation and texturing, it is really good.

#5 Hmm, Houdini is used for texturing? I didn't know. So If I save a .blend file with Blender I can import it into Houdini?

#6 I'm actually looking into Truespace since its free now. Plus I cant sale any of my models i make in Houdini. I might still use blender for models but I want to see how easy true space is to grasp. Also isn't there an export tool for Truespace?

Also I'm looking for a not so expensive Texture Painting softwear:

Zbrush- Too expensive
Deep Paint 3d - Too expensive

Anyone out there with a solution?

#7 For image editing, try Gimp

#8 Im Using Adobe CS2 now. But I thought there might be a 3d painting app somewhere out there that allows you to paint with texture, Adobe use to have where you could paint with patters or an image using the paint brush bot i cant find that anymore in the new versions

#9 @Kevin Mitchell

The only exporting program I've found for Truespace is Ultimate Unwrap. Other people have mentioned Milkshape as well.

#10 That looks like a lot of hats to wear. Once you've programmed a gameplay prototype that you can show people, you might be able to get someone else to take some of that off your hands.
