Hello again starving artists, animators, wafflers
and howlers. Let's start discovering PD Pro
all over again. In this issue, we announce a few
new tutorials and more to come that we hope will
help you get started as a brand new user of
Dogwaffle, i.e. if you've never used PD Pro
before. Or, if you've used an old version for
years, and are finding that there are differences
in the interface and thus the old Help files are
not up to the latest.

Discovering Project Dogwaffle
Professional 8 - Howler or Artist editions
This is what we hope to turn a daily addition of
short videos focused on discovering and using PD
Pro, both the Howler edition and the upcoming Artist
edition for those with no interest in animation.
Here are a few so far, starting with the
installation. These will all be hosted on youtube.com/pdhowler
Here is a 25+ minutes escapade, an exploration of
the many styles we have collected so far into new
presets for the foliage system. More are under
development. And you can also make your own rules
for this new rules-based foliage system. Stay tuned
for an upcoming update in which we'll release these
and more new presets. You will want to make sure you
join the mailing list for our newsletter if you
haven't done so yet or have changed email addresses.
Dogwaffler
of the Moment &
Cool Creative Bundle Showcase:
Greg Taylor
Greg is a
student in game design who started with PD
Particles as seen on GarageGames, and recently
added PD Pro by way of the Cool Creative
Bundle. He's still new to Dogwaffle but is
quickly learning and seeing many new ways to
use it for creative storyboarding and concept
art design that he feels will prove to play an
important role in his game designs.

As you
probably know, the Cool Creative Bundle (http://www.thebest3d.com/cool-creative-bundle)
is a collection of creative tools and content
offered at a drastically reduced price. So it
may not be the latest version in all cases,
but they're nothing short of awesome
nonetheless, and at that very low price,
what's not to like? Over $600 in tools
for just $59 - fully legit, fully supported,
and fully upgradable where available.
A few months ago, Archipelis replaced their
Archipelis Designer v2 with the new version 3.
If you're still using v2, contact them to ask
about the v3 update.
Likewise, we have just released an update for
PD Pro. In the prior release of the Cool
Creative Bundle, it was PD Pro 4 that was
included (along with the free 4.1 update).
Now, we've replaced that with version 5.1b.
Learn more about this version here:
We've contacted all users of the CCB
that are known to us and offered them the free
upgrade to v5 of PD Pro. If you missed that
email be sure to contact us to request it. Be
sure to include proof of purchase such as the
order confirmation ID and the email address
and name under which it was ordered and the
purchase date. Contact Philip here: http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/about
PD Pro 5 was released almost 3 years ago. It
had been even longer before that since v4.1
was released, so there were a lot of new
features added, such as the first incarnation
of symmetrical painting, or the frame painter
to put a wooden frame around your picture. Be
sure to read all about PD Pro 5.1 and about
pre-requisites.
This version is also available by itself for a
little less money, but ifyou're also
interested in the 3D tools and other painting
apps and royalty free music, the CCB is the
best value there is.
