Hello artists, animators, wafflers and howlers.
We released PD Pro 7.2 Howler edition last month, now the Artist edition is coming. If you own v7.1 of the Artist edition, this will be a free update, in the form of a full installer nonetheless. Be sure to contact us (Philip) to request your free update. If you ordered v6 Artist edition at DAZ3D, this too is a free update. Be sure to include a copy of your order confirmation from Daz when you email us.The price remains unchanged at $79, but we'll be running a limited time promotion with a $20 drop. No coupons needed. The promotion applies to PD Pro 7.2, both the Artist and Howler editions, and expires April 30th, 2012. Promo details For more info about PD Artist 7, look here.
Well, let's keep it short, and I mean short: it's essentially the same as in the Howler edition of 7.2, minus of course those tools that relate to animation and video work (such as motion prediction module). Moving on....
We want to use this issue of the newsletter mostly to start showing some new cool stuff currently under development. We don't know yet what the final version number will be, it might be 7.5, but it might change. At this time, we (the beta team) lovingly refer to it as project "Broomhead". Moving Keyframes on the Timeline Broomhead has a great improvement in the Timeline editor: you can move the keyframes, and see beautiful curves that hint at the evolution of the parameters accordingly. Click the image below to see a short video of this:  This is a feature of course for the Howler edition, for those users who love to do post work over their videos and 3D animations. An now some features for those who love to paint, and simulate realistic paint media: Brush Settings - new options in FX tab There's some significant work going on into adding new brush effects. So far we've added Impasto, Gel and Gouache effects to the brush settings panel's FX tab (renamed from PostFX), and we're experimenting and discovering other coolness such as lifting and pigment edges. Some of the results remind us of what's possible in Penny with one of its few brushes, but there's more. Here are a few images to wet your appetite...  FX4
