Do you use/know a 3D software not in this list ? Post about it!

Here is a program for packing sprite sheets:
Sprite Sheet Packer

Paint.net is also handy for editing images:
Paint.NET

These two programs are used for Wolfys way of making transparent masks

Hey if anyone is looking for 3D modelling programs you should check this blog out :
http://3dmodeldesignsoftwares.blogspot.in/
They got huge amount of 3D softwares.

thanks for the link creator, but it looks a bit like an advertisment for ZBrush, and I don't have $699 for a single user license.

However, in a previous post in this thread, i posted this:

UPDATED syntax highlighting for jEdit to Transcendence 1.07a

Get the files here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/720869/xml2.xml
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/720869/Trans.jedit-scheme


INSTRUCTIONS:

Copy xml2.xml in C:\Program Files\jEdit\modes if you installed jEdit in the default directory.

Copy Trans.jedit-scheme in C:\users\"your username here"\.jedit\schemes if you use Vista and the "Editor Scheme Selector" plugin for jEdit

Edit the file called "catalog" (without extensions)

Code: Select all

<MODE NAME="TransLISP"      FILE="xml2.xml"
            FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.{xml,xhtml,xsd,qrc,ui}"
            FIRST_LINE_GLOB="<\?xml*" />

Open jEdit and load up a xml file, Open Utilities..., Global Options...
Select Syntax Highlighting and adjust the colors to your likings or load up the scheme selector and use my color scheme (beware, the colors are quite crazy)

The scheme is using MARKUP and OPERATOR for non-highlighted text.
COMMENT1 for comments like <!-- and ;
LITERAL2 for &entities;
LITERAL4 for text inside "", I put it normal black text like OPERATOR.
KEYWORD1 deprecated functions
KEYWORD2 vanilla global functions
KEYWORD3 LISP functions like setq or block
KEYWORD4 Transcendence LISP functions like objGetData
COMMENT3 highlights gGlobals and aGlobals, temporary and hardcoded.
all the rest will work like jEdit original xml.xml syntax highlighting.

This is what I normally see
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/720869/jedit2.png

I hope I didn't miss any of the new functions

Notepad++ and blender

 Alright, I will: POV-Ray. It’s free software released under the AGPL license.

 If you’re used to meshes and modelers with anything even remotely resembling a GUI, this is probably not going to be the program for you. You don’t get to see what you’re doing on screen and just drag-n’-drop stuff where you want it to go, you have to learn what amounts to a programming language to create everything and math stuff where you want it to go. If you’re into recreational geometry, you can have a lot of fun with this.

 (…It is because of this program that I remember how to use Pythagorean Theorem and understand how arctangents work… ¬.¬;)

I found this online regex text editor, can also copy/replace text.
http://www.regexr.com/v1/

It's doing great with both my TransLISP code and my protein sequences at work

Notepad++ users might be interested in user defined language highlighting.
Can't find any decent example/instructions for it besides this webpage at archive.org

Sculptris Alpha6 has been around since like 2011. You can download it on their site but you have to give them an email and a name. If you'd rather not but still want to try it out... http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_ ... amid=58238

For those looking for something more for beginners that's not too bloated I suggest playing with Sculptris and maybe Wings3D for a while. Wings3D is a good 'standard' modeler to work with while Sculpris is much simpler to use and 'jump into'.
