ptdc Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 In a week or two I'm going to start work on my first game single handedly and without an idea in my head or a penny in my pocket. I've found PCFormat DVDs to be a good source of older versions of commercial software (such as Cinema 4d and Poser), but the range is a bit limited. Can anybody recommend freeware versions of the following? Image Editor (Up to PSP standard), 3d Modeller/Renderer, Audio Editing Package. Ideally I'd like something like painter but free, and no I don't mean a cracked version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Hehe. PCFormat is an excellent source for things to use. I've got Bryce 3D from PCF and also Vue D'esprit. Both are excellent for making 3D backgrounds. I use paint shop pro 4 for other backgrounds, but I usually get other people to make them! For music I use Cakewalk Express And for the engine, I use QBasic, AGS or Delphi. Very low budget needed, i.e. £5! Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Dude of Doom Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Lol, yeah that is low (£5). Btw where can I get Cakewalk Express? ---------------- Blackwave Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mods Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 In the shops or from warez sites. It's a commercial product and very hard to find on the internet. I think there are some trial demos tho Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxbx Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Gimp is a good publicly available graphics program. Try searching for it on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randolphcarter Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I use POVray for 3D graphics, and model with Moray. It's not as immediately user friendly as some programs, but you can get some fantastic results with a little work. I agree, The GIMP is your best bet for free 2D editing. I use SoundForge for audio editing and thouroughly recommend it. It's commercial and quite expensive but I think you can get early versions for free if you look around. The version I use came bundled with some other software. http://www.povray.org http://www.stmuc.com/moray http://www.gimp.org Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
