Two simple Begginer questions about Unity

Hi everyone. I Just started using Unity engine,and I have two dubts related to Unity workflow;
1°:Can I model objects like in softwares like Blender or 3Dmax?
2°:Can I apply extern textures in the objects,or I can only use the textured offered by Unity?I'm asking it because I tried to apply my own texture in a cube,but I coudn't.

 

1) Yes, you can model in Blender, 3d max, Maya, Sculptris etc.
And import your 3d models into Unity!

2) I hope I read your 2nd question correctly.
Yes you can make external textures in Photoshop/ Gimp even Blender etc, and import them into Unity.
And in Unity, "after applying a material/shader onto you 3d object ," you can import your texture and cover your
3d object with it.

3) Next time, ask this question in the Discussion Section of the Unity Forum.
Even though the 2nd question, sort of fits into this Section of the forum.

Note: There are Unity user manual here on the site too.
And a Beginners Tutorial Section too.

You'll learn lots of things there.
Enjoy!

 

Ok Brandystarbrite,thanks a lot for aswering. I'm going to see the Unity user manual as you said .
