::: What
is PD Artist? PD Artist is an
entry-level digital drawing and paint software program
for PC running Windows, powered
by Project Dogwaffle. The
current
version is based on a subset of PD Pro 3 (roughly at the stage of v3.2
with a bunch of features removed to make it simpler and easier to
download). Here's an example of nature painting in a timelapse
replay:

Nature painting & dabbling with PD Artist
It's a great
companion to your existing other, popular paint shop or photo editing
tools and image editors, free image viewers, and of course also for 3D
tools. It
is also an excellent way to try something new without going broke: For
just about the cost of a good meal, you
can get and try PD Artist.
Is this your very first real digital painting
program? If you like it, you might later want to move up to PD Pro 3.5
or 4 and beyond. We offer great discount coupons so you don't spend the
money again which you already did. Just contact us if you have
questions.
Using Windows
Vista?
Please note that PD Artist was not designed for Vista,
but because it's based on Visual Basic and Microsoft's "it just works"
policy for VB applications under Vista, the good news is that there's a
good chance it will work just fine on your version of Vista especially
with latest service packs and VB runtimes.. Give it a try, and check more details here.
While PD Artist isn't as full-featured as PD Pro (and in some ways even
than the earlier version 2.1b of Project Dogwaffle), it still has a
tremendous number of features and tools, as you can see in this
screenshot with many of its floating palettes and tools open:
The interface is fully
customizeable. The above display is a bit unusual and not meant to
imply a particular way of using PD Artist. More likely, you'll open
floating tool palettes only as you need them, to maximize the available
screen and image size.
There's also a little bit of
animation capability, but the main focus is on digital painting and
making it
fun and as fast as realtime. But you can certainly combine the two
uses: matte
painting on image sequences, for example.

::: PD Artist vs. PD Pro - What's Different?
PD
Pro
is where you
really,
eventually will want to be, once you've come to realize what fun
already lies in PD Artist and yet how much more can be done with PD Pro
(which is also ready for use under Vista). It's not that much more
expensive to go Pro, but it can still be a stretch for some starving
artists, students and retirees/hobbyists. Therefore we made PD Artist
as a first way into the wonderful world of digital painting with
Project Dogwaffle.
For additional details on more recent releases and their features, see
here
Note:
After we receive your order, you will see an email containing a
discount coupon which you can use in case you wish to upgrade to PD Pro
thereafter. The coupon can be used to recoup most of your original cost
from PD Artist.
The table below is a brief summary, and of course there's more to it.
PD Pro continues to evolve at a faster pace, with more tools and speed
enhancements coming regularly, even from 3rd-party developers
making plugins.
Operating System:
Windows XP recommended. Earlier versions may also work, such as Windows
98 or
2000, but have not been tested as much. Still, they should work ok. If
you are on a Mac/Intel you should be able to run your Windows CD under Parallels for Mac
System Memory:
at least 128 MB RAM available, preferably 256 MB or more
recommended.
Disk Space:
20
MB
Graphics:
a
video card set to 1024x768 or higher resolution, and 24-bit or better
(truecolor) depth. No 3D acceleration needed, all display
rendering is done in software and with MMX and through GDI.
Processor Type:
MMX-enabled Intel Pentium 2/3/4 type or AMD equivalent, 1 GHz speed
recommended, although it has been seen to work satisfactorily on slower
processors too. One of our tests was successfully done on a Windows 95
SR2 based K6 MMX system at 200 MHz with just 64 MB RAM ! but as
you can guess, it was no fun....
