Question
PeterCanessa Oh
SL is great for creating content as for almost everything the tools are built-in to the viewer. For most things there are external programmes that will make the job easier though, and for some (animation, mesh) they are essential. The great thing is that everything you need is still free!
For scripters there is a wiki page detailing external script editors and IDEs. As far as I know the other preferred (free) tools include QAvimator for animators, Blender for 3D/Mesh and Gimp for 2D building and texturing. There are many audio-editing programmes to choose from, the one I know best being Audacity.
Finally, the question: before I go spamming the specific creation fora for the specialists' views on such tools does anyone already have a more exhaustive single list? Which aspects of content creation have I left out? Comments?
[ETA: If you are looking for an alternative to Gimp try http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/01/the-10-best-free-photoshop-alternatives-because-adobe-doesnt-love-you/]
