How do I take a character I made in Photoshop CS2 and make it into a 3D moving image?

I am new to the world of 3D art, but have a few programs at my disposal that I am trying to learn (by myself), like Maya 8.5, Lightwave 9, Mudbox 1.0 and Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. I am just learning about these programs and would love direction to free tutorials about such. Back to my main question though, I created a robot character in Photoshop and would like to make it into a full 3D image that I could use in Flash 8, or other programs.How do I take a character I made in Photoshop CS2 and make it into a 3D moving image?
well either you can use program like maya, and recreate the robot in 3d, then animated and move around, then export or import frames from movie into flash, or draw the whole animation by hand in flash,either way, theres not short cuts, and will take weeks, months, or even a year,

My son is a 3D modeler I will ask him if it is possible, I don't think it is, but let me check and I'll respond again asap.
