Ikwebanimate is not free by any stretch of the imagination thus you are doing FREE advertising for them by using FREE as a plug for their paid service.

Free is being highly misused now days. English is pretty straight forward which is why it is often referred to as the International business language. Some of these links link to subscriptions (promising free trail which means demo not free) others make you sign up only to realize their “Free Models” are not actually worth a ****… Using the term free for a marketing scam pretty much is the same thing as saying “Moral serial killer”…

Hi Drixil, I have just had a look on their site and they claim it is free (in browser) See here or am I missing something? Also, please let me know which of the links are not free but subscription services and I will remove them or place a note saying it is a trial.

On a separate note, I have added all the new additions to the original post at the top of the thread (thanks guys!! :D).

#22

And to be clear, I’m not attempting to plug any service at all, I just thought it would be nice if people could share resources that you don’t need to pay for (free) with the community as we all know how expensive it can get when making a game.

#23

Drixil, check out the rest of the post or do a little bit of research first before accusing somebody who is doing a good favor for the community. Not all of us have a team, the skills or the money for paid resources but we still have a passion and drive and continue to work hard to achieve it. That’s the only reason for this post nothing more. Secondly, webanimate is free to animate your models if you use the web browser and correct me if I’m wrong but you’re allowed up to 10 exports per week, which is pretty epic considering it would take you atleast MINIMUM 2 days to animate something that looks decently good which means 5 exports a week. It is pretty powerful and as DotCam, who’s an unreal forum moderator with 1.3k++ posts and probably waaaaaaaaaay more experience than you and me have combined said… it is free. I hope that sorts it all out mate. Now lets not turn this into any form of heat or accusation, we don’t want this good thread getting closed innit. Cheers. :wink:

Tree It: a free tree generator, very easy to use, featuring really simple LOD model creation:
http://www.evolved-software.com/treeit/treeit
(Exports to *.dbo *.obj *.x .)
I use it for making low poly vegetation models. Proper conversion is needed from .dbo or .x to keep normals (.obj does not keep them).
