    As always, we dont post everything. Programs are top quality, spyware free programs only. I added a few today and moved programs we had added to the miscellaneous and toys section that fit into that. The intent is to have paint programs, digital editing and imaging programs there. The things your usual geek needs to tinker with.

    I would like to know of your favorites so I am confident we have all the best there, so feel free to respond with your favorite program and link and thanks for your time.

    A couple free 3D rendering programs.

    Blender

    Terragen

    Color Cop Free and most accurate color picker IMO...selected color automatically placed in memory so you just need to paste it into whatever program you are using.

    Are you interested in program add-ons also? Like filters/plugins, etc. that work with paint shop pro, photoshop etc? I have links to hundreds of them that I use on a regular basis....some free, some shareware.

    You might want to add Softimage XSI Mod Tool. It's a fully featured professional 3D program, which was used to create Half Life 2! The "Mod Tool" being a slightly limited version which does not allow you to render, but you can export your models, most notably to the programs used to make maps in HL2. You can of course export models to other 3D programs and use them to render if you so wish.

    Very nice program it is, I'm using it to create all of the models in my machinima film using HL2.

    Freeware GIF animator.

    All of the below work in most major graphics programs (Corel, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, PhotoImpact & some even work with Irfanview) These are the more popular ones that are widely used..some freeware, some shareware (demo's), All of which I use on a regular basis and wouldn't be without:D

    Flaming Pear Demos and Freeware!

    Filters Unlimited Import hundreds of filters/plugins for use without bogging down your graphics program. Shareware. This program put a stop to lock-ups and crashes with my graphics programs from having so many filters/plugins in use. I'm able to have everything right there and no need to be moving things in and out of my program then having to close and re-open my program so things will load.

    Artistic-Effects

    AutoFX Create Awesome effects with all of these.

    Ulead Software PhooImpact is comparable to paint shop pro and photoshop. Also familiar with to many others on this site to count *blush* Don't have them all installed right now due to full HD but if you have any questions ask away:)

    Alien Skin I use all of these (including older versions of Eye Candy and Xenofex which give different results)...awsome add-ons!

    Kai's Power Tools Another package that extends your creativity.

    Virtual Painter is really kewl!

    Awesome free filters (I use them all) Site also has other add-ons, some free some for purchase.

    Xero Plugins (top section)

    Ulead Free Plugins

    Have many other things you may want to take a look at along with some info I will email to you separately as the file is to big to upload.

    oops...Thought we already had Xnview here for download but we don't. Similar to Irfanview, I use both as Xnview supports some image format that Irfanview doesn't and vise versa.

    Also a handy little add on for PSP users...PSP Thumbnail Handler (2 versions for different OS)

    Here are a few more freeware proggies (except the first one) I have used and liked for one reason or another. Have a lot more I could list but I'll wait for you to catch up;):D

    Ultimate Paint MS paint on steroids (shareware).

    TextSylist Enhance text, 3D, drop shadows, etc.

    Now 3D 3D effects, ray tracing etc.

    Font Magic More text effects.

    PFE 3D Text Text effects (free for personal use).

    Effect Maker Freeware version available for flash and javascript creation.

    UnFreeze Got this one from star a loooong time ago.

    PhotoFiltre Complete image retouching program.

    Image Analyser Enhance & analyze.

    Tux Paint Great for kids! (I had fun with it:D)

    Art Rage Paint on a canvas, neat proggie but I suck at freehand drawing.

    Pixia Used to use this along with Gimp before I purchased higher end software.

    Liquid Icon Create icons, cursors, etc. on a transparent background.

    Not too interested in add-on, I figure people go hunting for them, so rather then clutter the page with add-ons, just get the main programs. Well, this should keep me busy for days :) Thanks!

    Wanted to add it, but they demand your email, followed by personal information to send you a key. Anyone downloading it from us wont be able to use it. Not a big fan of giving all my personal info over.

    Hahahah, yeah, I stopped posting it every day, but am updating it. They offer a nightly build and wanted that posted to link to us as a mirror.

    Were with you. The tweaking programs are nice, but its fun to venture into a new area, most people have some sort of graphic program installed, if not for anything else, digital photo editing and organization.

    works on only 2000/XP/2003 and needs DotNET framework installed.
