To write plugins you need to learn C-Sharp (C#) and will need a development program; the free one is called Mono Develop: http://monodevelop.com/

You can use a variety of software to create 3D models; The most common free one is Blender: http://www.blender.org/

Technical ben\'s tutorial thread and video is definitely the starting place for using Blender for KSP: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=4032.0

Making textures is partially done in the 3d software (by UVMapping the faces of your model into a flat image) and then finished in a graphics editor like Photoshop or Paintshop Pro; 2 free programs: The Gimp and Paint.NET

One last thing, could you reccomend a book or series to learning C# in mono?
