And Misc:

GifCam - Quick and easy program for recording Gif images.

I just tried Gifcam, and found it pretty lacking in many places Not to even mention it ran out of memory when I tried to preview my recorded GIF.

I can recommend ScreenToGif, it's open source and intuitive.

http://www.123dapp.com/meshmixer - A mesh mashup tool from Autodesk, some pretty cool sculpting tools too
http://www.wings3d.com/ - I just found this yesterday, now my all time favorite 3D modelling program - it's the only one I am capable of making anything with :/
http://www.mit.edu/~ibaran/autorig/pinocchio.html - Auto rig meshes (with source code), would be good if this could be turned into a simple UE4 plug-in (hint hint)

[ULLS]

Also, apologies for not updating the master list, I'm incredibly busy making my game and learning how to 3D model....I'll try to catch up on this thread soon...

That would be awesome I saw this a long time ago, and it still hasn't been implemented anywhere (or maybe Mixamo uses this?) even if this would be the best auto rigging solution available. I wonder why...
Here is a video demonstrating Pinnocchio:

Thanks for posting the vid Slavq, it's a really great tool. There are others too but I didn't get a chance to test them. I'm thinking the reason it isn't used commercially is because it's open source - it'll be pretty unethical to sell a service using open source tools.

The Foundery has realesed a non-commercial version of NUKE, the leading industry-standar composing tool with restrictions, but no watermarks.

automatic character flipbook creation by Fragmotion

Hi,
I forgot to mention a great feature of Fragmotion:
you can create sprite flipbooks automatically from animated characters!
here you can see the simple menu and an end result of my first tests:


the sprite arrangement is customizable, you can create it with or without shadows, position and size data are saved in an xml file.
unfortunately the alpha is saved wrongly, it requires some further works with photoshop/gimp...

Edit: the latter issue is GPU and driver dependent; in my case it was bad with Intel, but fine with ATI; and said to be wrong with some NVidia cards/drivers...

Take that up with the creators of sculptris. It is quite unlikely you would get an answer for that here. Hope it works!
