By last software is a program called sketchup 4 which is great for level editing and 3d development.

While compiling this list, I ran across that Credo(Lifeforms) program. I hadn't been to their site in a while and that's a new product. There's another one with some useful looking motions, too, so I learned a little today. I updated the list just now...a few more essential goodies(or at least helpful).

Yep, it's nice but a little pricey. I tried to include program that were either free or very cheap. The most expensive thing on it is Silo which is $109 and Paintshop Pro($125 give or take). Silo is similar to the free Wings, and PSP is like Photoshop(basically) and you've got the free GIMP and Dogwaffle, so there's something for everyone.

A few more additions and clarifications added. If I add anything else and my edit time window is expired, then I'll just redo the whole list in any future posts. That will eliminate random links all over the place if the thread grows to a longer length.

Yet a few more additions. Inkscape, Paint.NET, UVMapper, Molebox, SubtitlesK5ky, Tattoo, AC3D, MarbleCLAY. The Dogwaffle link now points to the free version page instead of the commercial version. Moved a few things around and clarified some descriptions, renamed the thread. My edit time has now expired, so no more changes unless something really cool pops up and is appropriate for it.

I also added a small handful of these to the freetools section of the Wiki.

I think the most important marketing tool starving indies can have is a good web site so perhaps you can include the better free opensource CMS and ecommerce solutions. We are using tikiwiki, http://www.tikiwiki.org, and oscommerce, http://www.oscommerce.org. Using a content-management system frees developers from spending too much time updating and implementing their website architecture so there is more time to put up content

If it does get stickied, it would be nice to turn off the edit time limit on the first post if the software allows it. That way I could add new stuff directly to the master list and simply post a "new stuff" post. I don't forsee having to add a lot to it, but the ecommerce and wiki programs would be nice additions.

Pardon me, but I forgot to look who moderates General Tools before I point this thread to here and since I can't moderate this forum, I can't stick this thread to the top. In the old forum software, there used to have a "Moderated By:" at the top but now it's at the bottom.

DivX is not really free.
You have to pay for the encoder and it is not free to give the codec away in a commercial project.
I can't find the figures, but there is a link to request more license info for commercial users.

They also have a niche license for indie filmmakers. This allows you to use it for free and still in a commercial capacity. I have no idea if indie game developer would fall under it or if the game license also includes indies.

It's still active. Maybe they had server trouble when you tried.

To anyone who plans on using Divx, be sure to take note of its license restrictions. You can use it for free for personal use or for indie filmmaking purposes, but if you want to use it in a commercial work to encode ingame cutscenes or even trailers/video demos for public viewing, then it looks like a fee is involved. Don't forget to include an installer to place the codec on the user's machine if you go with it. I wonder if they have a free usage policy for indie game development?

Don't forget to double check any freeware or open source software you use to make sure it is all right to use in commercial products.

@MOD: Please remove the "..free" part on the Divx line. Also, after Motek Entertainment, please add the follow. Please, be sure to include the URL tags:

TikiWiki - free
osCommerce - open source online shop e-commerce software...free

Finally, if it's all right with Conitec, perhaps making this a sticky thread would be beneficial for newcomers or as a quick reference to others.

Vue 4 is a powerful 3D application optimized for the creation, rendering and animation of natural scenery. It's unbeatable at 3D scenery, and it's great for other forms of art too!

Vue 4 was designed for beginners as well as advanced users. It has been granted many awards for its amazing render quality and incredible ease of use.

"In terms of sheer visual beauty, absolutely nothing beats Vue d'Esprit!" raved Computer Arts in its January 2000 review of Vue 3. Version 4 simply does it even better!

Vue 4 is the ideal choice for the artist - hobbyist or professional - in search of quality 3D scenery.



I love that program and was pleasently surprised to see this offer:

That's a good page. Here's bupaje's findings: http://www.conitecserver.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=493782 I'll be contacting a moderator about updating the initial post one of these days. No time or desire at the moment.

There are several magazine that deserve to be here. One is

http://www.digitmag.co.uk/

another is

http://www.computerarts.co.uk

I check them out at the magazine store from time to time to see what free software they have (usually previous version stuff) -probably should subscribe. To give you an idea the magazine is about $12-$14 by me and I got Carrara Studio free and at the time was able to get the full version for about $79 instead of $450+. I also got a copy of Credo's LifeForms 3.5 for free and I can now get an upgrade for $89 instead of $400 for full product. I have also gotten older version of Poser, Vue and free textures, models and sound files from several of these mags.

Forget the name of the others but think they may have been http://www.futurenet.co.uk publications.

Microsoft Expression 3 should be on the list. This is a really good and free vector program.

I could not find ZBrush in these posts. That is a 3d software to add details to a model just as simple as painting on it. You get some displacement map. That could be handy for normal mapping in games:

It's a nifty program, but too expensive for the scope of this thread. Try to keep them under $150.

The best audio convertor out there is dbpoweramp. It's free, and there's an OGG plugin(and many others) available in their Codec Central. It has a swell little UI and is easy to work with. There's also a PowerPak that costs $14. There's a 30-day demo for it and you can only use the LAME MP3 feature during that time or after registering.

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

If you're going to be needing something to rip temp/royalty free audio tracks for your game then the only thing you should be using is Exact Audio Copy.

I didn't compile this list, but I thought it would be a handy one for the guide. These are services that allow you to upload large files to email addresses. Of course, you can point it to your own address and provide the link for other to download from. Useful for large resource and demo dispersement.

Other Limits: I haven't personally tested this so i'm not sure what the limits are in terms of # of downloads and/or file life, but from what i've read there's a bandwith limit and/or something about password protection, not sure what's meant by that though

Other Features: Password-protected download links, and in the download section, you can enter in a File ID and password (if there is one) to gain access to a download...not completely sure how it works though.









Xdrive (you can initially sign up for a free 15-day trial, but then once that's up your downloads off the server unless you pay for an account)
Size Limit: 5 GB
Download Limit: NONE (until your free trial period has ended, that is)
File Life: Unlimited (again, until your free trial has ended...so it's techincally 15 days unless you purchase an account)
** NOTE ** In order to sign up for an Xdrive account, however, a credit card is needed for the free 15 day trial, so to those under 18 and also those who just don't have a credit card, take this into consideration before signing up. And if you do intend to sign up, be sure to keep watch on those 15 days you have in your trial because once the trial period is up you are immediately billed your first monthly payment of $9.95, so be SURE to cancel the account before your trial has completely ended!!

DeepPaint 2.0 is now free?

http://www.download.com/Deep-Paint/3000-2191_4-10398243.html?tag=lst-2-7

Sounds too good to be true, downloading it now ...

EDIT: The readme confirms this version is freeware and requires no registration....

PNG Gauntlet - http://brh.numbera.com/software/pnggauntlet/

Quote:


PNGGauntlet is a .NET program that uses Ken Silverman's PNGOut to optimize PNG files. Many PNG files output by popular graphics software packages like Photoshop or even Fireworks are not as small as they could be - PNGGauntlet squeezes the last bit of size out of them. Furthermore, no information is lost during this process - the only thing that changes is the file size. Just select the files you want to optimize (or drag them onto the window), select where you want them to go, and click the button. PPNGauntlet can also be used to convert JPG, GIF, TGA, PCX, and BMP files to PNG. PNGGauntlet also supports a brute-force option that will try different PNGOut settings in order to create the smallest file.

Useful for moving large amounts of data without having to worry about bandwidth and paying a middleman(webhost). This could extend to sending resources to team members or online distribution of full games and/or demos. The more you give(upload to others), the faster you can take(download to your PC), so no one has an advantage and no more crashed servers and headaches.

another one, didn't see if it was alerady added.

http://www.terabit.nildram.co.uk/tattoo/index.htm

Tattoo lets you paint directly on a 3D mesh in .3ds, .obj and a couple other formats.

mesh needs to be UV mapped beforehand ( either in the modeler or a 3rd party app like Lithium Unwrap)

has a veraiety of basic painting tools including airbrush, blend, smear, dodge, burn. adjust pixel size, opacity and step

biggest thing i noticed so far messing with it is you need as solid ( one piece) UV mapping as possible.

example if painting a head, you want as much of the head UV mapped all in one piece, other iwse you gt noticible gaps in the skin where UVs are seperated.

You do get to watch the 2D UV skin as your painting on the mesh so you can see the changed directly.



here i got a poorly UV mapped mesh and just spraying some colors on it just to try it out. need a far better UV mapping job done prior to tring to paint it.

there is a tutorial here on using Tattoo as well as this guy wrote several for Wings3D Blender and GIMP

Both of those are already included and have been from the very beginning. I love Wood Workshop.

I've submitted a new version of the master Guide. It should be updated next time that mod is online.

OOps how about Photomodeler Lite?

Is a pro version thats pricey but with a bit of looking can find the free version of it ( i got it a few days ago)



I can probably find the site again I found the lite version because the developers site no longer has it. inculdes some walk through tutorials on using the tool. its just draw lines then referance vertex points between photos and it builds the mesh and uses the phots to UV skin it.

I mentioned this one a couple years ago, not sure if it has been mentioned again or not but found it going through my pile of bookmarks and didn't want it to sink in and get buried again.

For an example try a quick search of 'castle' or 'trees'

There are probably too many free plugins for PSP to mention here but I will mention of as PSP9 doesn't have a Highpass filter which is useful for tileable textures and the free Mehdi one I used previously works in PSP8 but not PSP9.

http://www.photo-plugins.com

It is called the Highpass Sharpening filter which is a popular method of sharpening an image that does a more natural job than just 'sharpen' but if you check the 'View Highpass' box you get a standard Highpass.

Mura Mucho!

http://www.geocities.com/murakuma/

These have been around a little while but I didn't appreciate how good they were. I was looking for a free cloud plugin at work today and revisited this site.

Since there have been a few posts regarding skyies and clouds I think you will love this Photoshop/PSP plugin in particular as well as some of the others. It generates great seamless clouds and noise including water-like, terrain and other presets. Awesome.

Wish I had remembered it a few weeks ago as it made in a few seconds a pretty good cloud layer and I spent hours rendering fog and clouds in Terragen and Carrara at the highest settings.

GMAX is dead, so it won't be added. I'm sure you can still get it from a 3rd party, though.

Whilst looking at the OGRE-site, I stumbled across a link that explains how to compile the OGRE progs (C++) using MicroSoft's free VC++ compiler (comandline) together with the Code::Blocks IDE.

I downloaded the required files for the MS Platform SDK and the DirectX9 SDK (HUGE ! I think more than 650 MB were downloaded - thanks MS for bloatware) as well as Code::Blocks (small in comparison ) and used it with the 3DGS SDK ... it worked quite nicely (just using the sample files provided - haven't done any coding with it myself).

You need to download and install
the VC++ Toolkit (http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/)
the Platform SDK (http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate)
the DirectX SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx)
the Code::Blocks IDE (http://www.codeblocks.org/)

It does take a while (no, really ... it does !)

Just to let any of you shoestring-budget programmers know !

Cheers,
Andreas

There's a nice one in the list called dBpowerAMP. It's free except LAME MP3 expires after 30 days, it has to be registered to reopen. If you're using OGG for your music files(which you really should be), then that doesn't matter.

There's a read/write codec, available, for just about every audio format you'd probably ever need.

Sounds nice, will definitely look it up.
Found this one while doing a search today: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/4386/
Here some info about it:
Quote:


FractMus 2000 is a Win32 application that creates Fractal/Algorithmic music using mathematical
algorithms from chaotic dynamics, fractals, number-theory and cellular automata. Its features include:
full midi-file support, sixteen independent voices, complete control of midi parameters
(instrumentation, voice dynamics, channels, etc), 12 note-generating algorithms, 15 predefined
musical scales (with the possibility of creating user-defined ones), 11 predefined note
durations (plus user-defined ones), melody manipulation support (inversion, etc), composition assistants (Composition Maker, Composition Randomizer, Transposer,) full online-documentation/help and more.




Best is, it is totally free!

I think Nadester or another mod should restructure the whole list, because paragraphs like audio/video/authorware/security/encription etc. shouldnt be intermingled for clearness.

Here are some new contributions:

www.acidplanet.com/tools/?p=acid&T=6420

Acid XPress - free "small brother" of Sonys Acid music software. Basic sampling application similar to Magix Music Maker, EJay and/or fruity loops. Its free and if you dont have the others, maybe this is what your are searching for.

www.acidplanet.com

Originally meant as community for Sonys Acid (and - Xpress), this platform grows over its horizon: hundreds of indipendent artists present here their music (also musicvideos) mostly done in their free time, produced purely as a result of fun and creativity. Some sell their stuff, most users showcase their tracks. Nearly EVERY genre and subcategory is located there and quality is ranging from amteur to real professional tracks. If you found something that fits into your game, just ask them, be polite and nice. Mosts artist appreciate something like this and I doubt that everyone is forcing you to pay them high fees, maybe nothing. I think there should be no problem with use in freeware products or shareware.. so maybe you dont pay anything when you guarantee advertisement for them in your game. I had success there, so you should do so as well when your polite. I really like that site, I often download stuff from there (free, just registering is needed) and hear it on my MP3 Player.

www.peoplesound.com

The same as Acidplanet, but its more a platform for small artists that want to sell their music. But maybe you get also success there. I like the "mood" category feature and the "sounds like.." feature very much

www.1001freefonts.com

Well, this is quite popular: 1001 fonts offers hundreds of fonts that are mostly free (its rare, but some are shareware haha, well.. most are free and in the disclaimer of each font you can read what to do if you want to use it in a commercial way. Even if you do freeware I would ask the author. Most authors just wanna see where it is used, so be polite and you get it for free.

www.anatomyatlases.org/atlasofanatomy/index.shtml

This is really great, its a free anatomy book with lots of incredible pictures. www.anatomyatlases.org offers also other anatomy and medical ebooks for free, but I picked this one because I'm used to work with it for several months now for my own studies and its useful when it comes to modeling because you know everything after looking into it.

Cheers
Christian Behrenberg

FREEWARE --- GUIGenie - http://www.guigenie.cjb.net/

Originally meant for JAVA GUI authoring, this tool can easily serve as image generator and design tool for prototype GUIs, menus, whatever.

Here is a screenshot of a debug menu which I built with GUIGenie and ported then to A6, featuring drop down lists, radio buttons and buttons. Virtually every GUI element can be emulated with A6, remember that. So we need no cheap "programmers art" anymore for prototypes and it also saves a lot of time, because its coordinate system is the same as A6's and we dont need to cook our own images... changes can be easily done when GUI elements are moved or resized..

3D World Studio - http://www.leadwerks.com/

Quote:

3D World Studio is the map editor of choice for use with DarkBasic Pro, Torque Game Engine, Blitz3D, and other 3D engines. The program is ideal for game environments, 3D presentations and other commercial applications.




This is a 3rd party level editor. The creator wishes to directly support the 3DGS format and may even hook into the map compiler, so this is looking like it will be a viable alternative to WED(for those who have issues with it). It's a commercial product, but a full demo is available, so you can decide whether it's worth it for you.

Quote:


3D World Studio Features

Hey brilliant thread!

Me, I am so pleased with Gimpshop that I've actually dumped using Photoshop for it! It's basically the powerful Gimp editor, but configured to look and act like photoshop, so you haven't really got to learn much in order to use it.

Plus it has my favorite color-wheel type color picker, that Adobe wouldn't touch b/c of patent problems! WoooooOoo gimp shop!

http://plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=241


I look forward to a 3D paint app like Deep Paint 3D, based in Gimpshop.

Maybe there's something similar already in Blender.

Sorry if this is already in the thread,
Do any of the 2D editors here allow you to take photos of buildings and say get a side of a building in perspective, line 4 corners of a aquare up to each end and then the editor will make it a flat texture as if it was looking from head on?

I know Photoshop and Corel Paint Shop Pro you can do this but is there anything cheaper or free?

A new update has been submitted. Most if not all of the 3DGS specific entries have been reinstated, and I've added three new entries...the first to 3D and the rest to Other:

1. Open 3D Project
2. 3D Science
3. Generic NDA

It may take a few days for the update to show up depending on how long it takes the mod to post it.

I think you should add this too. It is something like gamedev, but it has a very good reference and updates on the 3D engines.

export it as .X and import it in MED. reassign the textures, because they are inverted. Make the leaf polygons doublesided or use a material to render it doublesided

Also, there are 2-3 dead links in this version. I caught them after I submitted the current version. I'm also going to make a couple more inclusions if I can remember what they were? Sphere was one...the other will come to me eventually.

CB Model Pro, the very last link in the list, a few URL changes, and removal of at least 1(Open 3D Project) are what are new this go round.

The ones that haven't been changed are "Onnovanbraam blueprints - vehicles & people" and "Lipsync." One is dead(but there's a new link), and the other has a new URL but it will redirect you.

Nice bupaje!

Sure this version of Deep Paint isn't for 3D, but hey it's free! (getting pizza right now with the money saved) Anyways this is exactly what I needed for touching up the 2D skin of my ingame chat. Thank you.

All the best,

Dusty

Poser 5 is free until Sept. 8th midnight:

http://www.contentparadise.com/us/user/free_poser_5_english_full_version_product_21989

It was only free until today, but due to overwhelming demand and crashed servers, they doubled the number of days it was available. You have to register, and I still haven't gotten it to accept me they're so overloaded.

Many links to sites that specialize in providing public domain art images (although, not all of the images are free to use if copyright laws still apply to them...if it was created before 1923 then you should be safe(US law)):

I've blatted on about Altiris SVS and how usefull it is to developers so here is a link to the client and some free apps to test.

Be warned, you need to follow up at the official site to learn about AV (Anti Virus) and FW (Firewall)compatabilities.

If not, PM me about my own experiences as some conflicts with AV/FW can and will blue screen your machine to death.

How I worked around this prob was to virtualise ZoneAlarm then set it to activate automatically but manually activate the virtualised Av afterwards, in this case, Active Virus Shield.

With this, GStudio can be virtualised in many forms and if something should happen, reset to get back to a working version as first installed.

Wnat to cut down on your installed software footprint, svs your apps and import them from a disc when you need them.

If you want, I can give you moderator privileges on this forum for maintaining your list - just let me know. However, it's probably better when you have your list on the Wiki under "External Tools". A forum is normally not very well suited for keeping permanent lists, but a Wiki is.

Sure, mod privileges would be appreciated. I only want to keep the current pinned list up-to-date, so the best person for the job would be the one who actually updates it. I'll try and add a Wiki version when I have a bit of extra time...perhaps this weekend or next week or whenever it falls in my lap. Sorry if my post(s) made me come off sounding like a jerk (I guess I was in that mood at the time I made them ). Thanks again.

The first update in over a year is now ready and posted, so please see the first post (or click here). This is a major update. I added info to some of the descriptions, deleted dead or changed links, and added many programs or services before confirming it. It also features the new bolding feature that highlights certain entries that I feel should be given a serious look before others (IMHO).

MovieXone 4.0 is discontinued and you can't get a key for it anymore (there's only a MovieXone Plus version for 40€), but here's another very good free movie editing program;

Avid FreeDV
http://www.avid.com/forms/freeDVRegDownload.asp

(I'm just about to test it btw, but thought I'd post it anyways, this 'free' version does lack some features by the the way, but nothing too annoying..)

Cheers

A really cool and free Ivy generator

Import your model, set a root point and it automatically generates ivy with impressive results. A video tutorial and textures also available on the website

After investigating the whole day Google Sketchup, finally, I want to suggest this to be added to the list.

http://www.sketchup.com/?dlc=1

There are two version: the free version and the professional version, which is quiet expensive (~600 Euro). The disadvantage of the free version compared to the pro edition is the lack of exporters except the Google Earth format.

Suprisingly, I found today a free software which is able to read this format and is able to convert it to several other formats: Media Machines Flux Studio

http://www.mediamachines.com/make.php

If you convert it to 3DS, X or whatever you like you can edit it in your favorite 3D modeller or take it as reference shape in WED to rebuild it "from scratch".

This is really great! You can create whole interiors and house in minutes with just a few clicks. *gasp*

I could be wrong but I think what they the tools they are referring to as coming soon is in fact 3DGS A7 i.e. I think this is Conitec's mysterious deal with Atari.

@Doug;come on Doug cat's out the bag now, please tell us all the details

Or I could be completely wrong. LOL

Well, you can create skins in Sketchup (but very limited as I think) or you are able to create textures from photomatch ressources (from photos which you can use to build geometry). But unfortunately Sketchup saves the skins asnon-power-of-two textures. So this was'nt interesting for me.

I am supposed to rather use the geometry as "3D-blueprint" to rebuilt it with decent skinning in other apps or even in WED. This might sound as "doubled" work but its worth it.

when using this one, make SURE you triangulated the model before importing.

AutoIt v3.2.4.0
Website URL

AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required!

AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.

Features
    Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax
    Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements
    Manipulate windows and processes
    Interact with all standard windows controls
    Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables
    Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
    COM support
    Regular expressions
    Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions
    Scriptable RunAs functions\
    Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums
    Compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista
    Unicode support
    Digitally signed for peace of mind
    Works with Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC)

I was looking for a free flowcharting solution to help plan programming and game play. I am testing this first one right now and it seems cool, There is a free version and a $20 per year richer one. You create flowcharts in your browser and can store, share and collaberate.

http://www.gliffy.com/index.shtml

There is also Freemind which I've used on and off for several years. It is mind mapping software and also useful for certain types of planning.

Filter Forge has just released the first in a series of free Photoshop plugins, based on their procedural texture generating program and user created presets, that will allow you to generate some photrealistic textures. The first one is "Metals" and includes 7 filters.

You can't create new textures with these but you can adjust the parameters and get some variations.

I picked up a copy of an excellent UK mag called ImagineFX: Fantasy & Sci-Fi Art ;the Photoshop and Painter tutorials are fantastic. I just noted that they have a lot of the workshops and some of the support files available on their site for free as PDF's - well worth look if you use Photoshop.

Yeah, sometimes that site has some cool games for free there too. Some time ago they had 'Magi' and also the cool 'Immortal Defense' tower defense game. Quite cool.

Mostly they have 'bad' casual games though.

What can you do if this online service disappears in the middle of your project? Don't you prefer to have full control over your backups, data access, etc?

They are just offering another back up storage space like other applications of the same type.

But over all, its miles better than its competitors, especially if you want to use it for your own (no online stuff) work as it is full of multimedia templates and would be very handy when writing game story, story board etc as mentioned above..

Strange that product, not a rela time 3D engine !
I see customers sections , all are Movies, or some Michima tests scenarios.

Lot of features, but no demo, no game, no demo tools to really compare with others 3D solutions ...

So well, it looks like Gamecore engine, lot of advertisment, but finally lot of raising problems, money was first priority for the developpers of the engine, until finishing to sink !

it is a rendering software that can export models/scenes with baked AO, shaders and whatnot... it is NOT a game engine

After what seems like a thousand years, I've updated the list. Removed or updated dead links. I only added a single new entry at the beginning of the "Other" section called Indie Tools. It features a nice list of programs for game creation.

Hi, I would like to recommend a 3D model search engine: Yobi3D. You can search with simple keywords and see the results in 3D. It's useful to find some already made 3D models for prototyping.

Please check it out and any feedback is welcomed.

https://www.yobi3d.com

Thanks!

It's been a long time since I've been here, but I figured I'd do something useful for a change. I updated the list in the first post of this thread. I fixed some dead links and even added a couple items. I had to delete a couple, too since there's no longer an official site for the things removed, and no apparent unofficial place. I focused mainly on the 2D and 3D sections, but I checked some of the others, so there still may be dead links in those parts. Anyway, my work is done here. Have fun. grin
