Newbie question about 3d Packages

Regarding 3D packages such as 'Unity'


Do they have their own languages that you need to learn?, or do they use languages like C++ ?

would it be beneficial to have a certain amount of knowledge of C++ or any other language if you want to learn to use a 3d package?

Unity is pretty good for beginners, as it has a reasonably straight forward interface. Coding knowledge is advisable, but not required as the objects in game are all handled with events and properties. Some working knowledge of Object Oriented programming would be helpful in this respect - working through the tutorials is normally enough to get you a good idea of how it all works.

If I recall correctly, there is the ability to add scripting in Java or C# to objects in game, but this is not necessary to create some simple 3d or 2d games.
