Wings 3D – Powerful yet easy-to-use advanced subdivision modeler

To learn 3D modeling, most people will recommend 3ds Max and Maya these trump-level of 3D computer graphics software to you. But what I want to emphasize again here is – the best may not be the most suitable for you or the one that best meets your needs.

Driver Store Explorer – Deal with Microsoft’s Windows Driver Store in an easier way

The DriverStore folder (C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore) is used to store the third-party drivers for hardware by Windows. When you manually install a hardware driver, the corresponding driver files will be copied to this folder. When you uninstall this driver, the files should be removed too. However, if you just update a driver, then Windows will keep the old versions of this driver in case you encounter a problem and roll it back in the future. But the problem is that we almost never need to use those old drives.

ILSpy – Must-have .NET assembly browser and decompiler

ILSpy is a free and open-source .NET assembly browser and decompression tool that is pretty popular in the C# development field, developed by ICSharpCode (i.e. the development team of SharpDevelop). It has the user interface, layout, and decompilation functions similar to Red Gate Software’s .NET Reflector. Moreover, sometimes for some assemblies that can not be decompiled with .NET Reflector (because of encryption), it’s still possible to do that using ILSpy. Simply speaking, it has only one purpose – to finally completely replace .NET Reflector and do better.
