With all the bad news we've had, it seemed like a good time to resurrect this thing. This thread is for discussing open source tools and utilities for creating art, music, video editing and 3D modeling. Also free culture projects if they contribute to OSS.
For basic doodling or using a virtual notepad I haven't found anything better than mypaint. The only issue I have with it is the undo feature isn't super accurate.
Didn't the GIMP basically EEE Mypaint by integrating its engine and brushes?

I forgot about that theme.

Back then I was using GIMP with eh results. But when I tried Azpainter, it just clicked for me, I have been using it since March or around and I love it.
I don't know for other people but I just have some rare/occasional sign of memory badly written, like the layer label changing itself, and rare crash. I recompiled the thing with debug symbols and no optimization and it seem to not crash, but still have layer label rewritten.
David Cox
AZPainter is kind of a hidden gem. I have no idea why it's not in more repos.
Why does GIMP spend so much fucking time loading fonts on startup? Anyone who isn't retarded at software design would ignore all the fonts and then load them in the background after the program has started.

it doesnt anymore. install beta

Synfig is kinda shitty. It's developed by autists for autists, also "puppet animation" is the only thing it does reasonably well and quickly, and puppet animation is for pajeets who make nursery rhyme videos on jewtube.
None of Adobe's individual programs have been beat by a FOSS alternative, let alone their entire suite.
Even if you combined all the features of Krita and Gimp AND molded them into the level of Krita's intuitiveness, it still would be lackluster compared to Photoshop in many ways (despite having a couple advantages).
I don't know much about video editing but I'm pretty sure After Effects is one of a kind program that there's no decent alternative to period.

Eh, I'd say Darktable and Rawtherapee are on par with Lightroom.
Maybe it'll get an HTML5 or webGL port in the near future? I've seen it happen to some FLOSS projects like Freeciv.

Oh, that makes sense. I should have considered that.
Thomas Thompson
Thanks, it really help.
It working, just the defaults is crappy.
As I drew this, the software really stable, no lagging or crashing, color blend nicely,the UI placement kinda suck. Its stabilizer or correction kinda working but below average compare with others, But hey, Im just a hobbiest so it okish for me, I wonder if sai-fag have tried it.
It's the best OSS for traditional animation. Nothing else even comes close. But the learning curve is a tad deep. Not Blender deep, but expect to have to get well acquainted with the OpenTooz way before actually making animation.

Now if there was only a good music composing program
LMMS is decent enough, if you want a turnkey solution. Otherwise, things are pretty bad with music production on linux, as far as I know. I just stick with schismtracker (plus audacity) novadays, even though its maintainer came out as a tranny and is already making a noose by the looks of it.
Nicholas Sanders
Any decent tutorials on LMMS you could point me to?
What for? Just use 16 bit srgb and print that. CYMK is a subset of that. You can preview how it looks in CMYK btw: youtube.com/watch?v=HMrpwtaCdvE
Ayden Kelly
This is so utterly and completely wrong that I don't know how to respond.
Bentley Cook
Actually, "yiff in hell" refers back to old imageboards of 2006 where there was a power struggle and the mods were heavily pushing of a "furry lifestyle" This is widely known terminology and has existed far longer than krita mascot.
Liam Nelson
If you mean writing sheet music, use musescore. Otherwise, use ardour or lmms, but watch those audio volume levels, a simple chord on default settings will peak the audio.
Well, technically aseprite has a fork of when it was still libre, but I'm not sure if it's gonna take off.

Bitching about Kiki and Libbie is something only newfags do HERE, however.
I'm sorry to break it too you, but this kind of shit is exactly what causes people to call you furfags in the first place. The nessecity you feel to spread your fetish and turn others, awhile constantly trying to make it something more than it is. This is exactly the manor a furfag acts on. If you just posted kitty tiddies and been done with it, all would be alright. But you nessecity to call others newfags and tout around this, mostly unremarkable r34 character and proclaim it as oldfag culter is beyond retarded.
So, you ARE a newfag. Listen, newfag, if you're going to be hanging out here, your GOING to be seeing Tyson's mascots from time to time. Try not to sperg out every time it happens.
I know that the Libbie stuff started with the contest debacle, and it was pretty active on Zig Forums. But you seem to know that something similar happened on halfchan.
