Hi, I've just recently gotten into DB, working on my first game (Conflicted Galaxy: Decimation) and well, I didn't want to spend lots of money on high-end software. For all the noobs out there, here is an awesome list of free, open source, royalty free(I think) software. Google these titles to download!

GIMP or Gimp Shop - basically photoshop, but free. photoshop is like $600 I think!

Wings 3d - best free modeling software i've found. exporting as .x doesen't work too well, I export as .obj then convert it with Lithunwrap.

Lithunwrap - used in conjunction with Wings 3d.

Audiacity - Decent sound editing program, especially since it's free!

---

So yeah, hope this helps. BTW if you guys have found any other good software, please mention it here! KTHXBAI

You can with a plugin I think, otherwise you have to export as 3DS but I'm not sure the free version does 3D export (I only have the full version).

Never used Lithunwrap, I'll take a look.

GIMP is fantastic...

I love Blender... It's alot easier than it seems once you get used to it.

Also the new 2.5 UI rocks
