TurnTool is a suite of tools that enable 3D models to be created and viewed in a low-bandwidth environment. The suite consists of two components: a TurnToolBox plug-in for integration with 3D Studio Max, Autodesk Viz, Cinema4D and ArchiCAD that allows these software applications to export objects into the TurnTool format; and a TurnTable Viewer plug-in that is able to recreate the 3D model in a windowed environment or web browser. Features: 3D modelling ActiveX viewer Low bandwidth use
Creation
A software tool for the creation of 3D interactive environments. It may be used to model and interact with physical objects that currently or have previously existed in the real world, or create virtual environments that have not previously encountered. VirTool player software is available for Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS X, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360. It now exists today more as a commercial tool for business to include 3D experiences in various aspects of their activities.
CHET-C, or Chapel Hill Electronic Text-Converter, is a browser based software tool designed to convert digital texts that employ standard epigraphic conventions such as the Leiden sigla into EpiDoc-compliant XML files. The tool can be accessed online at http://www.stoa.org/projects/epidoc/stable/chetc-js/chetc.html. Fragments of epigraphic text using standard sigla (eg Leiden convention markup) are pasted into the tool and Epidoc compliant XML is generated. Prior versions exist (MSAccess + VBA and Java, both now deprecated) for use by those without stabel web access or who wish to customise the underlying regular expressions to process non standard sigla
Publishing

The software is available Web2.0style at no charge, just upload your data set, and choose one of 16 different presentation styles.
A suite of products developed for web designers that may be used to convert large images into a form that can be zoomed and panned. Zoomify enables large images to be viewed and manipulated, without an increase in server load or download time. It converts large images stored in raster formats (e.g. TIFF, JPEG) into a set of pieces or 'tiles' The individual pieces contain sub-sections of the image at different resolutions or levels of zoom, which are combined to create a type of mosaic. Features: Enables access to high quality still images without an increase in server load
A text editor designed for use by software developers and web designers to edit, search, and manipulate text. BBEdit provides native support for several programming and scripting languages.

Capture
A free (under the GNU General Public License) toolkit for the development of document image recognition systems. Features: Custom dictionaries may be created to assist with analysis of specific record types Extensible functionality Optical character recognition (OCR) toolkit plugin
Creation
Paletton (a.k.a. Color Scheme Designer 4) presents the user with a color wheel and several color scheme styles: Mono Complement Triad Tetrad Free style By moving arrows around the color wheel, users can look at and compare different color palettes suitable for web design, logos, etc. A preview option is available for checking what the color scheme would look like as part of a light or dark website.
