::: What is PD Particles?
PD Particles is a software program for sketching, doodling, painting and drawing with particles. It is loaded with features made for professionals, yet priced low enough for artists, students and hobbyists at all levels. If you like to draw, this is for you!
PD Particles also contains a
number of
fascinating natural fx brushes
and can be used as a complete, self-contained painting program.
However, it is primarily intended as a companion to your existing
favorite photo editing, imaging and painting tools and it is focused on
the use of a
particular category of brushes: the Particle Brushes.

::: Recommended System Configuration:
using PD Particles with Artweaver:
the Dogweaver plugin
- 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.
- System Memory:
at least 128 MB RAM available, 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....
