Sticky? Very nice list.

#4

Software not supported? I think they just want more money on the 3DSMAX :stuck_out_tongue:

Outdated link. Try this one:
http://www.alias.com/glb/eng/products-services/product_details.jsp?productId=1900003

Link is not correct, site requires registration to see the older versions?

#5

Thanks you very much for the updates.

#6

props to this list! this is absolutely wonderful! some of the computers i rebuild for people are old 200mhz boxes and only this open source stuff will work since the newer stuff is simply too high powered! thanks!

#7

very much appreciated and into my bookmarks.

#8

Although GMax isn’t available from Autodesk, I’ve found it here.

#9

Wow, just wow.

#10

Awsome man! Thanks

#11

What about Getright as a download manager?

http://www.getright.com/ I’m guessing. Or is only for full software.

#12

best registry cleaner: www.ccleaner.com

I also created a WACOM tablet switching app that lets you quickly remap a tablet between two different monitors. It’s free and ad-free for anyone to use. Good for compositors and pretty much anyone who has two monitors and only one tablet/cintiq.

Great Links Guy- I use AVG Anti-Vi and it’s just fine (loads a lil slow). Tried Blender, Hey- it’s free right- Still prefer my MAYA tho.

#18

Battle Encoder Shirase (http://mion.faireal.net/BES/).

A freeware application, that allows limiting per-process CPU usage. Supports watching programs, recognizing a limited program when it’s launched. Watches can be set via command line, if needed.

Useful, if you need to maintain responsiveness of a computer while rendering: limiting CPU usage to 80% instead of the regular 100% usually allows one to perform basic tasks with ease.

#19

you should add the comodo solutions to the list, they have several free products and i never had any security problems since i use them.

FREE Comodo Firewall
 FREE Comodo Anti-Malware
 FREE Website Authentication
 FREE Comodo AntiVirus
 FREE Email Security Certificate

For those using Firefox, there’s an excellent download manager called DownloadThemAll
http://www.downthemall.net/

I’ve found Eusing’s free registry cleaner to be good
http://www.eusing.com/free_registry_cleaner/registry_cleaner.htm

Personally I found comodo firewall a pain. A the time I used it (less than a year ago), it was progressively blocking ports that firefox was using, ultimately ending my web surfing every hour or so after booting. A quick search on the net found it was doing it to others, so now I’ve stuck to the built in xp firewall, plus the hardware one on the network.
