Also google around, there are quite a few tutorials on creating nice
graphical buttons. You don't need a 3d program, just a few shading
tricks. (maybe a pinching filter to give a 3d effect to the text).
Take a look for example at:
http://www.kci.net/~jesse/gimp/tutorials/buttons/
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/3d_Logo/
More tutorials at:

Also for some basic 3d buttons created online take a look at:
