Ten Must Have Free or Cheap Game Development Tools
Here are ten cheap or free development tools for making 3d games. Don't let the cheap or free part dissuade you, these are all high quality tools.
10.TurboSquid A website with hundreds of high quality free and commercial 3D models.
9.CG Texture Website Not a tool but a web page packed with high quality textures.
8.Audacity A free audio recording and editing tool. Highly recommended.
7.L3DT Terrain Generator A very good terrain development wizard. There is also a pro version available.
6.Makehuman A very good human model generator. High quality.
5.Fragmotion This is a highly capable 3d animation tool. It imports and exports a bunch of 3d formats. The registered version is $50
4.Pacemaker A free 3d animation tool. I'm not too familiar with this one, but it comes highly recommended.
3.Gimp A free, full featured image manipulator in the spirit of Photoshop.
2.Blender 3D Modeler This is a very popular free 3d modeler that rivals the best pro tools. The interface can be intimidating, but it's packed with features and worth the learning curve.
1.3DRAD This is where everything comes together, and that's why it's number one on my list. No tool lets you build a game faster or easier than 3drad. And the best part is, it just became free!

thanks dude
Hey thanks but your missing a few ....
I like www.getpaint.net better and
you should have www.Wings3D.com on there
much easier to learn than blender!!
and I'd trade CharacterFX at http://www.insanesoftware.de/ for
Pacemaker any day. But there all good !!
Will The 3D Models work in FPS Creator X10 ?
Because I am looking for 3D Models for FPSC X10
www.freeroid.blospot.com
Nice little list you have there.
Gimp is great but quite powerful, you can also use other programs with a smaller footprint like:
Artweaver (FREE version available) http://www.artweaver.de/
Photofiltre (free version) http://photofiltre.free.fr/
More stuff here:(Including 3D modellers, texture generators, sound effects generators and more!)

I anyone else having problems importing models in CharacterFx ? The program either takes too long to load or crashes on even low polygon models.
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I've truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
