Summary
content development
development of game content
This metapackage will install a selection of suitable tools and packages for
developing and editing game content like graphics, audio and video material. It
enables artists to draw complex bitmap and vector images, create animated
sprites and pixel art or render 3D images. It can also transform your computer
into a full-featured audio workstation.

Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio
workstation (DAW). It can be used to control, record, edit and run
complex audio setups.
Ardour supports pro-audio interfaces
through the ALSA project, which provides high quality, well designed
device drivers and API's for audio I/O under Linux. Any interface
supported by ALSA can be used with Ardour. This includes the
all-digital 26 channel RME Hammerfall, the Midiman Delta 1010 and many
others.
Ardour has support for 24 bit samples
using floating point internally, non-linear editing with unlimited undo,
a user-configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities, MIDI hardware
control surface compatibility.
It supports MIDI
Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller and
many modern digital mixers.
Ardour contains a
powerful multitrack audio editor/arranger that is completely
non-destructive and capable of all standard non-linear editing
operations (insert, replace, delete, move, trim, select,
cut/copy/paste). The editor has unlimited undo/redo capabilities and can
save independent "versions" of a track or an entire piece
Ardour's editor supports the community-developed LADSPA
plugin standard. Arbitrary chains of plugins can be attached to any
portion of a track. Every mixer strip can have any number of inputs
and outputs, not just mono, stereo or 5.1. An N-way panner is
included, with support for various panning models. Pre- and post-fader
sends exist, each with their own gain and pan controls. Every mixer
strip acts as its own bus, and thus the bus count in Ardour is
unlimited. You can submix any number of strips into another
strip.
Ardour's channel capacity is limited only
by the number on your audio interface and the ability of your disk
subsystem to stream the data back and forth.
JACK
(the JACK Audio Connection Kit) is used for all audio I/O, permitting
data to be exchanged in perfect samplesync with other applications
and/or hardware audio interfaces.
Ardour is
sample rate and size neutral - any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits,
and rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Internal processing in 32/64 bit IEEE
floating point format.
Further information can be
found at https://ardour.org/.

Blender is an integrated 3d suite for modelling, animation, rendering,
post-production, interactive creation and playback (games). Blender has its
own particular user interface, which is implemented entirely in OpenGL and
designed with speed in mind. Python bindings are available for scripting;
import/export features for popular file formats like 3D Studio and Wavefront
Obj are implemented as scripts by the community. Stills, animations, models
for games or other third party engines and interactive content in the form of
a standalone binary are common products of Blender use.

GIMP is an advanced picture editor. You can use it to edit, enhance, and
retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and make your own images.
It has a large collection of professional-level editing tools and
filters, similar to the ones you might find in Photoshop. Numerous
fine-control settings and features like layers, paths, masks, and
scripting give you total control over your images.
Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, Photoshop (.psd),
and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be used to scan and print
photos.
To open files remotely (like over HTTP), install the gvfs-backends
package.
To use a MIDI device (like a musical keyboard) as an input controller in GIMP,
install libasound2 and read the how-to at /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI

mtPaint is a free, open source graphic editing program which uses the GTK+
toolkit.
It is geared towards creating indexed palette images and pixel art.
Due to its efficient design it can run on older PC hardware (e.g. a 200MHz CPU
and 32MB of RAM). It can edit indexed palette or 24 bit RGB images and offers
basic painting and palette manipulation tools.
It is aimed to be simple and easy to use. it also can handle JPEG, GIF, TIFF,
BMP, XPM, and XBM files.

POV-Ray is a full-featured ray tracer. Ray tracers simulate objects
and light sources of the real world to calculate photorealistic, computer
generated images. Because of the nature of ray tracing, this process is
quite CPU-intensive, at the benefit of more realistic images compared to
real time rendering techniques. For example, in POV-Ray, you can model a
glass prism, and you will see a spectrum in the resulting image.
POV-Ray by itself is a command-line utility that will take scene
descriptions, written in a special easy-to-understand language, to
produce ray-traced images (or even a sequence of images, for animations).
You can either write those scene-descriptions by hand, or use external
tools to generate (parts of) the scene.
povray-includes is highly recommended in addition to this package.
