Blender - model • shade • animate • render • composite • interactive 3d
Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite.

* Modeling, Rigging, Animation, Rendering, UV Unwrapping, Shading, Physics and Particles, Imaging and Compositing, Realtime 3D/Game Creation...

Interface
* Revolutionary non-overlapping and non-blocking UI delivers unsurpassed workflow
* Flexible and fully configurable window layout with as many screen setups as you prefer

Rigging
* Fast skeleton creation mode
* Interactive 3D paint for vertex weighting
* Fast envelope based skinning

Modeling
* A range of 3D object types including polygon meshes, NURBS surfaces, bezier and B-spline curves, metaballs, vector fonts (TrueType, PostScript, OpenType)

Rendering
* Very fast inbuilt raytracer
* Oversampling, motion blur, post-production effects, fields, non-square pixels
* Tile-based and fully threaded
* Render layers and passes

Animation
* Armature (skeleton) deformation with forward/inverse kinematics with pole target support
* Auto IK allows posing FK chains easily

Shading
* Diffuse shaders such as Lambert, Minnaert, Toon, Oren-Nayar, Lambert
* Specular shaders such as WardIso, Toon, Blinn, Phong, CookTorr
* Node editor for creating and mixing complex materials

UV Unwrapping
* Conformal and Angle Based unwrapping methods
* Interactive transform of UV maps by vertex pinning
* Proportional falloff editing of UV maps for smooth transformations
* Seam based unwrapping

Inkscape. Draw Freely
An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development.

FreeCAD - 3D CAD modeler.
Based on OpenCascade, QT and Python. It features some key concepts like macro recording, workbenches, ability to run as server and dynamically loadable application extensions and it's designed to be platform independent.

FreeCAD is aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits in a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties.

Similar to Catia, SolidWorks or Solid Edge, and therefore also falls into the category of MCAD, PLM, CAx and CAE.

General features
-Everything is undo/redoable, with access to the undo stack, so multiple steps can be undone at a time.
-Stores document transactions and not single actions, allowing each tool to define exactly what must be undone or redone.
-All objects can be defined by parameters.
-Built-in Python console with syntax highlighting, autocomplete and class browser: Python commands can be issued directly and immediately return results,
