Animation software


Maya 
and the entire Autodesk suite
​This is the program that we will do all of our 3d work in.





​Blender

This is the software now used by beginners and Indy Game Developers. Autodesk made the mistake of not allowing students to use their software for free any longer. Blender happily stepped into the gap and most Indy Game Developers now choose to use it instead






​

Video Game Engines
​


Unity
(free Personal edition)
​this is basically the #2 Video game Engine
That you will learn how to use on this web page

UnReal Engine

This is the #1 video game engine in the world




​Graphics and Texuring

Adobe Substance Painter

This is the software used by many industry professionals to texture and even UV map 3d objects. It is powerful and robust. Sadly Adobe purchased the product and almost overnight instituted a subscription fee for the software. Once upon a time it was free to use and under that plan was used across the board by everyone trying to produce video games
($49.99 a month)


​


Adobe Creative Cloud
this includes Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, InDesign, Dreamweaver, AfterEffects, Fireworks, Flash, Lightroom, Bridge and more...
($229 a year)


Programming IDE's
​(programs)

​

C# 

This is the program that comes along with Unity 3d. Once you get the hang of it, it can be a great program to construct code and video games in.

RPL.IT

While certainly not the best program to work with... It provides people on the move a mobile platform to be able to construct and work on code in many different languages
