I've added in Paint.NET. Appreciated.

There's been no updates from anyone in about a month, so I imagine this thread was soon to once more be "necroed". I won't be bumping forever, so if it ever does close and you need to post a link, remember that you can always PM or E-mail me, and I'll do an update.

I don't know if you want to post this in the list but here's a kickass program I've been using to unwrap my meshes in less than a minute.

SVG drawings are rarely used in games, but Inkscape can be very useful to artistically challenged people who try to make sprites, backgrounds, etc. because one can edit and tweak endlessly and export an antialiased image of any size; maintaining variants (e.g. a car in many colours) is also easy.

Plastic Animation Paper should definitely be on that list. Synfig, too.

has anybody mentioned Daz|Studio? Its pretty cool, but mainly for simple 3D pics, not modeling.

They are respectively shareware and open source and they should go into the animation section.

Is there another animation section in gamedev?
