I thought it would be helpful to create a resource page that explains what I use to make my stuff.

 | SketchUp is an easy to use 3D modeling program. There's a version called SketchUp Pro, with additional features, that costs $590.00, and a version for non-commercial use, called SketchUp Make. This one comes without a price tag. I've always been more than happy with the free version.
Here's a tutorial to draw a cube, tetrahedron and octahedron. |

 | Keyframe Animation is an easy to use plugin for SketchUp that lets you easily add movement to objects in your SketchUp model. The plugin costs $39.00 and unfortunately, it can only be used when you're online.
Once you've seen this tutorial, you're ready to go! |

 | Once the frames are generated in SketchUp, I use Photoshop Elements to scale, crop, edit and turn them into an animated gif. Photoshop Elemement, for $68.88, does all this without a problem (but it lacks, unlike the full version, the very handy feature to Load Files into Stack). Sure there are free alternatives who can do all this too, like Gimp. |

 | For my augmented reality experiments, I use the free version of Inglobe's AR-media. Here's a quick start guide. |

 | Every now and then, I need nesting software. And a free and good nesting program is hard to find. I use nestlib because it's the best I could find. |

 | Wolfram Mathematica is a more professional take on producing animated geometric constellations. I used Mathematica to develop a pumping-thing generator. This software is not easy to learn and the version for hobbyists and enthusiasts costs $300. |

 | Tinckercad from Autodesk is a free and online 3D modeling program. I prefer working with SketchUp but I use Tinckercad to prepare solids for 3D printing. |
Update: 25/05/2015 |
 | I've ordered quite a lot of 3D prints from i.materialise, the online 3D printing service from Materialise. I'm happy every time. |
