You start by learning numerous art theories you'd typically learn HS. Shading, perspective, color theories...etc. Keep things strictly 2D for now.
After that comes photography stuff, like framing, focus, exposure... and so on.
Finally comes the matter of choosing and learning the 3D software of your choice and diving into the world of renders. Everyone's gonna tell you to go with Blender, as it's free and includes pretty much everything ya'll ever need, but it's not gonna be an easy.
For actual game creation, you're pretty much stuck between Unity and Unreal at the moment. Both have pros and cons.

Give each one of these items at least 2 to 4 weeks of active study and practice time. That's how long it takes to nail down bare basics into your spine.
Try to learn the mechanics and understand the systems you're using, not just repeat what some Youtube guy's doing on the screen without thinking.l

lets be honest, by the time he's good enough at art to make something vaguely sellable, blender will probably be good enough to do anything

Well, they used Softimage 3D for Riven. So, use that.

plus mental ray and some (then) expensive 3rd party plugins (Arete Digital Nature Tools, Phoenix Tools, Lume Tools)

Today it's probably easier to use Vue or Terragen.

Cyan really rendered their asses off for this one

any of you guys ever use Bryce? A lot of those riven environments remind me of some of the renders I've done when using bryce. i got into it as 1 of my first 3d packages- i guess side by side with blender- bryce was my "render beautiful images" software- blender was my 'learning the tools of the trade' software. I remember i left an animation to render in bryce overnight for the first time and couldnt sleep i was so excited to see it. What render engine does it use? The UI was so bad lmao its like a gizmo widget panel of 3d shape buttons as the only way to do the thing is to use those gizmos

Bryce uses its own renderer. It was also one of the first off-the-shelf tools to implement volumetrics and (later on) hypertextures.

It was also slow as molasses even on then 'fast ' CPUs. But lot's of Poser and later DAZ users (before Iray) exported their crap to Bryce and rendered it there.

Well, Terragen and VUE are still CPU based and also incredibly slow. Luckily they both scale well on farms. Our studio spent 3 months CPU time alone on the last (small-ish) project involving backgrounds in Terragen 4.

probably I learned 3d modeling because this game, so realistic by his time

Judging from interviews with Cyan staff I don't think "realism" was really their goal.

Well, I've played the game 22-24 years ago, and for me the graphics where realistic
