- Only a few weeks (days?) left
- Watercolor Lifting
Here we go...
v8:
New Tutorials!
Pigment Profiles and more
We have added a bunch of new tutorials with
Version 8 over the last few days. See them in the
Daily Dose:
If you noticed the introductory, soothing music
entitled "Andersen", and you liked it, please
feel free to explore more samples. It is from
Jose Luis Suazo's eMaya music: http://www.thebest3d.com/music/jls
Motion
Prediction Mania
Gazillions(!) of
calculations to find out where your pixels
went
If
you've followed my tutorials, you know that I
(Philip) am a bit obsessed with the MPM, the
Motion Prediction Module. I've covered it in more
tutorials than any other feature. And right as I'm
typing this I am thinking of yet another two or
three ways to show it off, to show its merits.
Stay tuned for more motion estimation examples. In
the meantime, we've gathered all of the tutorials
(we think).
We have recently
dropped the prices on most of our products,
including PD Particles, PD Artist, PD Pro 3, 4, 5,
6 and 7. This is of course a prelude to
releasing version 8 very soon. We don't want to
keep just the latest and greatest version out
there. We want to make the earlier versions
available for those who are on avery tight budget.
If you've been saving up for v5 or v6 your wait
may be over.
Here are the new
prices:
PD Particles
............... $8 PD Artist 1
................ $9.97 PD Pro 3.5
................. $10 PD Pro 4
................... $29 PD Pro 5.1b
................ $44 PD Pro 6 Howler
............ $53 PD Pro 6 Artist
............ $39 PD Pro 7 Howler
............ $89 PD Pro 7 Artist
............ $59
If you can't
afford version 8 yet, even at the pre-order
discounts, perhaps you can afford a prior version.
If you're using the freeware version 1.2 at the
moment, this may be your new chance to go Pro.
Only a
few weeks (days?) left
(to
Pre-Order PD Pro 8 Howler)
June 30 is the next deadline
PD Pro 8 Howler
is coming very soon. Only a few more days of
pre-order special. Soon it will be the release
special. Still a way to say, but not as good as
now. Check the promo pricing at http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/sales/special_promos.html

Watercolor Lifting with v8
Watercolor is a
brush post effect (brush FX) that can be refined
through one of the brush settings panels, now
called the 'FX' tab.
Look at the way
the vertical blue brush strokes (placed on top of
the other colored ones) appear to smear into the
lower ones, and more so as we increase the lifting
value going from left to right.
Here's another
example (using Translucent Watercolor). First we
painted a brush stroke in a wave from left to
right in blue, then we painted short dabs in
light yellow across the blue. The ones on the
left have very low value of lifting, the ones on
the right side have high lifting values:
As always, don't
hesitate to contact us and ask for assistance if
you need any help with ordering or configuring
your version of Dogwaffle. And thank you so much
