Cool thread rio
Probably the biggest list you've done. Pretty useful info here.
Yeah, I think it is the biggest list yet.* Glad you find it useful. C:
@ Jubeh
Thanks! Got any additions you can recommend to the list?
* I'll actually be doing a big list of How to Draw Manga books next which I expect will be much bigger... well, after I finish the Japanese SFX list I'm in the middle of doing right now.
On the storage option part. TAKE BROTHERSOFT OFF. Malicious as hell, most of the stuff is deceiving. I know this from experience and research lol.
Download.com aka Cnet is trustworthy. Dunno about the rest.
Oh, and add Bryce to the modelling list.

I didn't know we had this. We should start an animation resource thread too .
I haven't even finished reading it but afterwards I will see if there's anything to add.Originally Posted by rio
Wow, that's quite a heated response. I'll take it off the list then. And Bryce is already on there between Blender and Carrera.
A free animation program thread was started hereand a list of animation tutorials was added to the Massive Online Tutorials list so.... it would be cool but I think we're going to need more stuff to make a dedicated list.
Ok, cool.
On another note, just added:
Dosch Designs - stock 3D models, textures, animation, and sounds. Also offers royalty free stock media.
xD I've just had some bad run-ins with Brothersoft. And woops...I need new glasses.
