Open Source Software – November, 2018 A friend recently shared this: Click for Related Message Board Share for an artist friend in your life!❤️ So, it wasn't until recently, through a conversation with a good friend, that I realized I have the very strange hobby of collecting the best free/open source creative software on the web. So, here is my gift to all the artists out there. This list is the culmination of 6+ years of scouring and testing. I have spent hours in most of the programs, and many of them I use in every single project I work on. Many of them also have Mac versions! If this enables even just one person out there to start making what's in their soul, then all the work has been worth it. Also! Bonus prize is the collection of wonderful websites that have saved my life a couple of times! 3d Modeling/Animation(complex) - Blender.org 3d Modeling (Simple) - Sketchup 3d Modeling (Voxel/Brick) - MagicaVoxel 3d Modeling (Digital Clay Sculpting) - Sculptris 3d Modeling (in VR) - Google Blocks Human 3d Model/Armature Generator- MakeHuman Photo Editing/Maniputaion - GIMP Digital Painting/ Comics - Krita Vector Art (like illustrator) - Inkscape Storyboarding - Storyboarder Video Game Engine - Unity Visual Novel Maker w/ no Code - Fungus + Unity Text Based Game - Twine (Twinery.org) Audio/Sound Recording/ Editing - Audacity Sheet Music Notation - Musescore Retro Game music Maker - Bosca Ceoil Retro Video Game Effects Generator - BFXR Screen & webcam recording - OBS Studio Live Streaming (twitch/youtube) - Streamlabs OBS Video and Audio Converter - Handbrake 2d Animation (Cutout) - Dragonbones Pro, Synfig 2d Animation (drawn) - Blender 2.8, Opentoonz Stick Figure Animation - Pivot Animator Stop Motion/Claymation - Stop Motion Studio (mobile only) Video Editing - Blender (only if you’re desperate) Flashcards/ Spaced Repetition Learning: Anki Awesome Websites: Disraction Free Writing - Writer (bighugelabs) Script/Playwriting - Amazon Storywriter Sound Effects Database - Freesound.org Music for Film/Games - incompetech.com/music Pixel Art & Animation - Piskel Textures and HDRIs for 3D- Hdri Haven Fonts - Google Fonts, 1001freefonts.com Learn Coding - Codecademy Simple Android App Maker - AppInventor (MIT) Color Palette Generator - coolors.co Rhyme Dictionary - rhymezone.com .
