List of Game Development tools

[Jackdaw]

This is is going to be the start of a list of useful links to various tools. If anyone adds some gems, then they will be added to this post, so people don't have to go through every post.

NOTE: Many of these linked sites have not been checked for what contents they offer.
If they don't appear to be what is advertised, or look suspicious. Then PM an administrator so they can be removed.
So use at your own risk.

Absolute belting 3D CAD shenanigans, Maplet-like setup style of modelling...

I mostly use this for 3D printing, but have managed to get the models into AGK.

I also modelled, printed out and then forged a few spare parts for Nissan (Well, Fire Maintenance Services, the company I worked for) when I worked in the plant!

Highly recommended and rather fun as well!
