Blender
The Blender 3-D graphics application can be used for modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, water simulations, skinning, animating, rendering, particle and other simulations, non-linear editing, compositing, and creating interactive 3-D applications. Blender is available for several operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, IRIX, Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, with unofficial ports for BeOS, SkyOS, AmigaOS, MorphOS, and Pocket PC. Blender has a robust feature set similar in scope and depth to other high-end 3-D software such as Softimage|XSI, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max, Lightwave, and Maya. These features include advanced simulation tools such as rigid body, fluid, cloth, and softbody dynamics, modifier-based modeling tools, powerful character animation tools, a node-based material and compositing system, and Python for embedded scripting.

GIMP
GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition, and image authoring. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, or an image format converter. GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.

Workrave
Workrave assists in the recovery and prevention of repetitive strain injury (RSI). The program periodically alerts you to take micro-pauses and rest breaks, and restricts you to a daily limit at the keyboard.
-
Pencil
Pencil is animation and drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoons) using both bitmap and vector graphics.
-
Synfig
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based 2-D animation software package, designed for producing feature-film-quality animation. Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. You can also use it for pretty much every part of production except story-boarding and editing.
-
MeshLab
MeshLab is a free 3D mesh processing software program; MeshLab is a general-purpose system aimed to help the processing of the typical large unstructured 3D models that arise in the pipeline of processing of the data coming from 3D scanning. MeshLab provides a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting 3D meshes.

XaoS
XaoS is an interactive fractal zoomer. It allows you to continuously to zoom in or out of a fractal in a fluid, continuous motion. XaoS includes many animated tutorials that make learning about fractals fun and easy, and which introduce all of XaoS’s features.
-
Apophysis
Apophysis is a fractal flame editor and renderer for Windows. It includes an editor that allows you to directly edit the transforms that comprise the fractal flame; a mutations window, which applies random edits to the triangles; an adjust window, which allows the adjustment of coloring and location of the image; and even a scripting language with direct access to most of the components of the fractal. Users can export fractal flames to other fractal flame rendering programs, such as flam3.
-
Ascgen 2
Ascgen dotNET (Ascgen2) converts images into ASCII art, using text that accurately represents the original image. It's the first program of its kind to support variable width fonts and real-time output adjustment.
-
PosteRazor
The PosteRazor cuts a raster image into pieces that can be printed out and assembled into a poster. The resulting poster is saved as a multipage PDF document. An easy-to-use, wizard-like interface guides users through five steps.
-
Pixie
Pixie is a raytracing renderer for generating photorealistic images. It reads conformant RenderMan Interface Bytestreams (RIB), supports Shading Language shaders, and is based on the Reyes rendering architecture.
-
Scribus
The Scribus page layout program produces press-ready output using a modern and user-friendly interface. It supports professional publishing features such as CMYK color, separations, ICC color management, and versatile PDF creation.
-
GIMPshop
GIMPshop modifies the GIMP image editor to make users of Photoshop feel comfortable using that application. GIMPshop modifies the menu structure to closely match Photoshop's, adjusts the program's terminology to match Adobe's, and, in the Windows version, uses a plugin called Deweirdifier to combine the application's numerous windows in a similar manner to the MDI system used by most Windows graphics packages. While GIMPshop does not support Photoshop plugins, all GIMP's own plugins, filters, and brushes are available.

picogen
picogen is an outdoor Monte Carlo ray tracing system designed to render large-scale terrain with realistic day/night-illumination and detailed plant populations. It also is a heightmap-creation tool, in which heightmaps are programmed in a syntax that reminds of LISP.
-
FontForge
The FontForge font editor lets you create your own PostScript, TrueType, OpenType, CID-keyed, Multiple Master, CFF, SVG, and bitmap (BDF, FON, NFNT) fonts, or edit existing ones. It also lets you convert one format to another.
-
Sunflow
Sunflow is a rendering system for photo-realistic image synthesis. It is written in Java and built around a flexible ray tracing core and an extensible object-oriented design. It was created as a framework for experimenting with global illumination algorithms and new surface shading models.
-
