DAZ Studio
DAZ Studio is a free, feature rich 3D posing and animation tool that allows users of any skill level to easily creat stunning digital imagery.
What makes DAZ Studio 2.2 so special? Well, we've already mentioned Lip-Sync, and Smoothing Angle. We've also added to the Morph Panel (Parameters Tab) with the additions of "Figure Favorites" and "Local Favorites." Both tools will allow you to copy your favorite or frequently used sliders to your favorites list. The Power Loader provides an interface to allow you to load content and select only the desired morphs or injections you need for the figure. The Hexagon Bridge to DAZ Studio feature now includes Sub-D support, offering you the ability to transfer Sub-D meshes into Hexagon to create morphs for use in DAZ Studio!

SOFTIMAGE|XSI Mod Tool
The Mod Tool is a free version of XSI for non commercial game creation. It is made for everyone needing a powerful 3D application to make and mod games.
Mod Tool is built on the same powerful XSI 3D engine used by leading game companies like Valve, Lionhead Studios, Pandemic, Konami, CAPCOM, and more. With Mod Tool, you can create original games for PC and Xbox 360 using XNA, or create mods for games like Crysis and Half Life 2. It's the easiest way to start making games.
The Mod Tool plugs into all the major game engines and development frameworks for next-generation games, casual games, mods for existing titles and even Flash-based 3D games.

Terragen
Terragen is a scenery generator, produced with the goal of generating photorealistic landscape imagery and animations. It is available for Windows and the Mac OS. Terragen is free for personal, noncommercial use. Although Terragen is a repeatedly evolving work-in-progress, it is already capable of near-photorealistic results for professional scenery visualization, special effects, art and recreation. Terragen has been used in a selection of commercial applications including film, television and music videos, games and multimedia, books, magazines and print advertisements.
Despite the fact that Terragen can be used for professional landscape visualization projects, it is easy to get to and easy to get started with. You could be rendering your first landscape picture in as little as 15 minutes after installation. Terragen has a native user interface, using facilities provided by the operating system of the respective platform, as opposed to the custom user interfaces used by many similar applications.
