don't let it intimidate you. start playing with it and see where it takes you. There are a few free 3d packages out there, try one of those, but hey, Apple might close that deal with a 3D company and we'll all have i3D
If you paint and do art, you have a better understanding of composition, spacial relationships and color theory. Think of 3D as a tool, a canvas, and don't worry about specializing in it right now, just have it as one of the many things you can do. Have fun.
