Houdini

A fully featured animation package with pretty much every feature under the sun. The best part is theirs a free PLE edition that has no limitations.

winrar, its got to be one of the best archiver type programs out there. Will compress/decompress nearly any format (every format i've ever come across at least.) Loads of features, easy to use and free. Not a lot more you could ask for really.

Remus,
Its not free I payed 30 something $ for it, but its worth it.

Perhaps it is the education version im thinking of, as i certainly got it for free (and legally.)

Edit: sorry, i didnt read your post properly, i thought you were talking about houdini mateo.

Just to clarify, ive had this same version for quite a while, and as juan said it just give you this little popup thing every time you open a file. A little bit annoying but i can live with it.

[JuanV.Soler]

I have it for free too.
The only thing that happens is that it reminds me it would be good to buy it. But it has not stop working since I started to use it.
(I am talking for years)
That is a friend indeed
