The heading of this thread is wrong. If you want to become an artist then you have to open your mind. You will learn much details from the world around you. You will try as much techniques as you can. You will find workarounds, solutions and tricks. You must be smart. And you should use as much tools as you can.
As an artist you should not exclude something like (A vs. B). Both can inspire you!

@Machinery_Frank: Of course you are right! But generally I'm a programmer, no artist and I wanted to know which one is better for my aim. I will use this tool only because I don't have the money to buy all the enviroment for my levels and therefor i need a tool which is easy to handle and fast to learn, even for a programmer.
@broozar: Thanks for the tip!

Sorry to say, but you cannot learn easy and fast how to make competitive game environments. At the end there is much to do: - creating good textures (not only loading photos from the net),
- making them tileable,
- modelling efficient meshes,
- uv-mapping,
- learning about colors and their relations,
- theory of lighting,
- distribution of light and colors,
- faking of real light distribution,
- architecture
- and much more like animation or anatomy
This is an endless field. I am also a programmer (my job) and an artist (my hobby). And I have to admit that it is more easy to program than to make professional game content. This is probably the reason why most of the 3dgs users are scripters or programmers and why most projects look like programmer's art. It took me several years to be able to make models and textures like you can find at our Dexsoft-website. But I learned C++ within a week (I already knew C#, Delphi, Java and others). But even a newby can learn a programming language from scratch within a few weeks.
