Hello again. In this issue of the Dogwaffle
newsletter we have an additional tutorial showing
how to use the AnyFX plugin from Pixelan, which
you can get for free if ordering PD Pro 8. We also
have other tutorials, including one to blow
bubbles. And we have another Dogwaffler of the
Moment, BJ Bradley, who uses Dogwaffle to help
illustrate her children books such as Tillie
Tuppet's "Blowing Bubbles".
New Promo: PD Pro 5 for just
$5
This promo runs through the end of October.
Normally priced at $35, we're practically giving
it away, for just $5. Details here:
Through the month of October, we are running a
special promotion with Pixelan, who makes plugins
for various popular programs. See their complete
lineup of tools at Pixelan's website:
One of their products is called AnyFX. It contains
numerous filters and creative tools to modify both
still images as well as animated sequences
(video). For example, it includes awesome Rain and
Snow filters. The main website for AnyFX is:
There is a version also for PD Pro, called AnyFX
for PD. They have released a version that is
compatible with PD Pro 8. There are two arts to
it: static filters, and animated filters, so you
can use it with PD Artist 8 as well as PD Howler
8.
We're offering you a free copy of AnyFX for PD
when you order PD Pro 8 (Artist or Howler edition)
from us directly between September 1st and October
31st. Learn more about this promotion here:
Here is another tutorial, showing amongst other
things: how to use the Rain filter from AnyFX when
the camera is turning around, and the rain
direction (Wind) needs to change
accordingly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI9AlLg-0Qo
If you do get to use AnyFX with PD, please don't
be shy, show us what you're doing, post samples on
the forums.
Tutorial: Making
Bubbles
One of the images seen
in the DOTM (see below) inspired us to make a new
quick tutorial to review some brushes that were
introduced in version 5. These bubble brushes were
helpful for Tillie Tuppet to blow bubbles, and you
too may find them very useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvQUt0al5No
Dogwaffler of
the Moment:
BJ
Bradley
(Optipustics particle brushes "Winter branches"
used here)
B.J.
Bradley is married with three children and
lives in the Midwest where the nicest people
in the world reside. She owns an electrical
contracting business with her husband.
B.J. Bradley is also
currently a part time teacher who has worked with all age
groups from kindergarten through high school.
B.J. Bradley is the author of several
nonfiction books physical and eBooks including
Elizabeth I- Drama Queen which is the most
popular.
Although she enjoys writing
biographies and books for the teen crowd, she
is just as enthusiastic about working on
picture books for children. Among the books
she has worked on
is a simple guide to the Constitution for the
littlest of people.
She likes the silliness of
the Froggy and Dumb Bunny books, the sweetness
of Curious George, the wackiness of Dr. Seuss,
and cleverness of the Skippyjon Jones books.
She is currently in the process
of creating a picture
book series about a little girl who refuses to wear her shoes.
Why wear shoes when you can do
everything in your socks!
Miss Tillie Tuppet flips flapjacks, does the
hokey-pokey, eats snicker doodles, and runs
from an alligator wearing only her socks.
