I live in Kamloops, BC Canada. I'm almost 60 and retired. I heard of Project Dogwaffle through the Corel Painter forum, and I now use PD Pro 4. I also use a variety of popular better known tools, and I like to try a mix of painting, image editing and animation tools: I use Corel Painter, Photoshop (who doesn't?), After Effects, AnimationMaster, SoftImage. They're all great tools in their own ways, and it's good to find something that makes each of these really special and enjoyable.

I use a 2.8 MHz PC with Windows 2000 Pro. One thing I really love about Dogwaffle is the very fast and different ways of using brushes. I do a lot of foliage work, like trees and shrubbery. The Particle system (Optipustics) of PD Pro is awesome for this.

I'd love to see better support for PSD files, some sort of 3D camera and a lighting filter, though I'm learning some ways around and other approaches for similar effects or results.


Ponderosa Pines against a Mountain in the Hazy Back

These trees Ponderosa Pines. They are quite large. But up here in BC, 80 to 90 percent of them have been killed by the pine beatle. It is a major disaster. Where I live in Kamloops it is semi arid and this tree is the most abundant tree by far we have. Most of them look like this image. In town most people have to get them cut down in their yards. They last about 2 to 3 years after they are dead, then start breaking up causeing huge fire,flood and falling causing damage potential. They will take a long long time to come back.Each tree supplies enough oxigen for 4 people. > click image to enlarge
