1) How do I MAKE 3-D ship pictures? and with all that alien writing around them?
2) How do I IMPORT pictures and use them in Hera?
3) How do I IMPORT a new map? Is that similar to importing new music as well?
4) Finally, How do I MAKE new rotating sprites? Does this require purchassing ResEdit or other expensive programs?

Well, render them at an angle you like, and put them on the lined background (which you can probably put together). You're probably best off copying and pasting snippets of alien lettering randomly.
Quote
Put them into the scenario file with ResEdit.
Quote
Make it the right size, and put it into the scenario file with PICT ID that the default map is in.
Quote
Render them, put them together with in the composite style shown in the manual, and use Hera to import them.
And ResEdit is free...

Dan, you need a free 3d modeller like POV-Ray ( [url="http://"http://www.povray.org"]www.povray.org[/url] ) There is another free program called Mechanisto and it's available on the EV(O?) addons page. POV-Ray is far superior.
All the other free modellers have disappeared due to either being pulled(strata, pixels 3d) or having their parent company crash and burn(Blender).
Oh, if you have $15 and a credit card(or can borrow the card) you could order issue #50 of [url="http://"http://www.digitmag.com"]www.digitmag.com[/url] which has Strata Studio Pro 2.5. Update it with the 2.5.x > 2.5.3 updater available free on [url="http://"http://www.strata.com"]www.strata.com[/url] and you'll be set(look for tutorials at [url="http://"http://www.stratacafe.com"]www.stratacafe.com[/url] )

Is it even conceivable for an ambitious plug-in writer who doesn't really know computer programing to make something that cool?
(and for relatively little money)?

[EDIT: Oh, the movies(at least some of them) for Marathon : Invasion are made using the FREE POV-Ray and they're as good as the standard fare in my opinion.]

The stuffit expander did the trick. Now I just have to figure out how to use the program!
I'm working on the tutorials, so my plug might be delayed about a month

Also I'd recommend viper's collection of sounds, weapon sprites, and ship sprites. They're quite excellent
