• Introduction to BORG
  BORG is graphical user interface to BMRT, but it is not just a GUI it divides the rendering work across different computers where BMRT is used to render frames.
  
• XMRM: Multi Resolution Morphing
  XMRM (Multi Resolution Morphing for X) is a morphing program that allows one to create an mpeg video based on the the transformation from one image into another one.
  
• Gimp : Using layers and their masks
  Mask layers from Gimp are a really universal tool for all kind of tricks.
  
• Sketch, vectorial drawing under Linux
  The advantages of a vectorial representation over bitmap is that files are smaller and the image can be enlarged significantly without differences in rendering (pixellisation). Sketch is written in Python, an object oriented interpreted programming language.
