Unless you know of plug-ins for the programs in that list that let you export your models to NwNs model format, there is no point in including any of them. Of the 25 on that list only blender is of any use here.

               Here is a new free and open source interesting paint program. Krita offers a lot of The Gimp possibilities packed in a lean and pleasant user interface. What's more, our GNU-Linux and OSX friends got some love too.

https://krita.org



Edit: you can find a lot of useful manuals, video tutorials and howtos at the same place. Looks like a very friendly paint software.

While not a tool I have come across a site that has some free resources. Psionic games has a link to a dropbox account with about 110mb of models, graphics and sounds that may or may not be useful. What I like about the stuff on there is that you have the choice to download the different bits individually or by clicking the blue download button you can download the lot as a single zip file.

Two tools have updates. Gimp is now up to version 2.8.16 (Link to Gimp User for easy download) and Artweaver Free is now up to version 5.

 

<edit>

Inkscape is now up to version 0.91 which for me was quite a jump as I was still using version 0.48!

I have just uploaded a simple tool to the vault. All it does is to remove unwanted space characters from plain text files (leading, trailing or both) such as 2da files and uncompiled models. It is called TrimEmAll and this link takes you to the project page.

Can you supply a link as it does not show in the recent content on there.

that is because it wasn't ever uploaded, since no one asked for it

 

anyways... here it is if anyone wants it!

i'm not sure if the new vault requires a time period so if the link doesnt work then wait a while and it may show up later

Here's a couple of links to tools that are meant to be used with other tools. A few years back google bought a company that made professional quality filters for photoshop. These filters were priced at over $400 US just before the company was bought. When google bought the company google reduced the price to roughly a quarter of that. They have now made them entirely free. You can get the Nik Collection here.

 

Don't have access to photoshop? No worries, because there is a free tool for Paint.net. The 8bf filter plugin is available here. Essentially unce you have this installed you can use any of the standard photshop format filters with paint.net. So with this plugin you have access to 1000s more effects on top of the 100s of dedicated effects already available.

Do you have Gimp? Do you wish you could batch process an arbitrary number of textures? Well now you can. What you need is Bimp (Batch Image Manipulation for Gimp). It's not perfect but it has just saved me a whole bunch of time.

Another free program that lets you do this, which I use, is Irfanview.

New update for gimp. This is a minor update from 2.8.16 to 2.8.18, released just 5 days ago. The portable version on portable apps has been updated as well.

 

While I'm at it, Bimp allows you to batch process images using (at least in theory, I had no need to actually try it) any single gimp command.
