FFMPEG
ffmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to convert audio and video. There are versions for Windows, mac and Linux.
It's a command line tool which may deter some people but if you need to convert video to .roq (the format used in q3 maps) there's very little else available.
ffmpeg can also be used to convert audio formats to the 22k wav format required for Urban Terror maps.
PovRay
Povray is a command line ray tracer capable of producing amazing output with a few simple text files. PovRay can be used for the following
- Make scenery, there is a city scape macro
- Make foliage
- Make skyboxes
You can download PovRay freely for all platforms, the current version is 3.6 [PovRay Download Page]
For more information about making skyboxes with PovRay see the topic Making sky box images with PovRay
