I need guidance! I was wondering if someone could help me with this. Currently, I have a little experience in C++ and was wondering if I should learn to animate with Blender3D, as it's free, as well program stuff like games and the like. Or, the real question is do I necessarily need to know programming and animation?

It depends.

You don't need hiking shoes if you're going walking on the beach. But you do need them if you're hiking in the mountains or desert.

You need to be able to program and animate if you want to make a game with animation all by yourself, but you don't necessarily need to be able to do either of those things if you're going to make a game with collaborators who can do the programming and animation while you perform a different role.

Why are you asking if you need to know programming and animation? We can't answer you since we don't know what your goal is. It sounds like you're trying to break into the game industry -- so this is moved.
