I want to build a simple 3d graphic but with no experience have no idea how to!! Here's the detail:-

At the start of a football game on "Match Of The Day" (or any game on TV) a graphic is used to show the team selection which shows HALF of a football pitch and then its shows all eleven players in formation for the 1st team. Then the same for the other team.

I would like to recreate this.. What software and technical expertise would be needed for this??

Heres a few similair - just the line ups graphic bit near the start.
