Summary: Last week we announced the
availability of Howler 9.6. We now also have
released Artist 9.6!
===========================================================================
PD Artist 9.6 is here!
===========================================================================
Pricing and
Availability:
PD Artist
9.6 is now available for purchase from our
online store at BMTmicro. It is also available
through the author's website at www.squirreldome.com
(look for Artist under 'Products') for about
the same price. The regular price for PD
Artist 9.6 (new full installer) is $27. See
below for introductory sale promo.
PD Artist 9.6 is a paid upgrade
for users of PD Artist 9.0-9.2. (just like
Howler 9.5 was a paid upgrade for users of
Howler 9.0-9.2). Artist 9.6 builds upon the
features from the 9.5 and 9.6 releases. Once
again, very strong discounts are being offered
for existing users of Artist 9.2. If you already have Artist 9.2,
you will soon receive an email with a discount
coupon for 55% off to upgrade to Artist 9.6,
if interested. If you're in a hurry and don't
want to wait, contact us.
If you have other prior versions, such as PD
Artist 8, 7, or earlier, you will still be
offered a discount coupon to upgrade at
significant savings. If you can't wait for the
notification email, please contact us.
If you already have a discount coupon, use it.
You can order PD Artist at
http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/sales
Note that we also offer
sidegrades: you can move up from PD Artist to
PD Howler - ask us for your discount coupon.
Introductory Sale: 33%
off through end of March!
A time-limited discount of 33% is
automagically applied. For the next few weeks,
through the end of March 2015, you can get PD

So.... What's New in
PD Artist 9.6?
In short: a
lot!
The main website is http://www.thebest3d.com/pda
To understand what's new in Artist 9.6, it
helps to remember what was added in Howler
9.6 and 9.5. PD Artist is a subset of
Howler.
With PD Howler, we had a 9.5 release before
the 9.6 release. We did not have that for PD
Artist. So, Artist 9.6 is the first release
of the Artist edition that also includes the
main features added in v9.5. This includes
many of the new features highlighted here:
http://www.thebest3d.com/howler/features
PD Artist 9.6 is a natural media paint
program. It focuses on fancy brushes and
filters. Unlike the Howler edition, Artist
does not do animations or work with video
clips, with one exception: You can load
image sequences and videos into the brush to
make those into animated brushes, and paint
with them.
The new version is focused on improving the
user experience on different kinds of
hardware ranging from tablets to
workstations, and adding new tools that are
critical to visual effects, particularly in
game content creation:
- draw maps, including elevation maps
- turn them into realistic 3D renderings
with colroed erosion and sediments
- add clouds and fog
- quickly paint various types of plants
such as grass, bushes and trees with
special foliage brushes and particle
brushes
- add filter effects for light diffusion,
more fog and sunset mood and other
photographic effects
- add realistic glare and lens flares
As a reminder, we also
have a recent slideshow here: http://www.thebest3d.com/slideshow9.5
Most of the images represent
things you can do also now with PD Artist 9.6,
even if they were created with Howler 9.5. The
only exception would be if the final image was
the result of some animation.
