Hello again. We have a few more tutorials on
using particle brushes, with focus on thin
particles, derived from the "wierd eye lashes"
preset, or to make ethereal eye lashes.
We also take a first sneak peek at some of the
newest developments, such as using the GPU in 3D
Designer or adding force fields to foliage
brushes.
As a reminder, we're still in November and thus
are still running a $10 promo on PD Pro Howler v6,
as well as other special offers for upgrading. See
below for details.
As usual, you can see the html version here:

Thanks for reading and waffling.
New
Tutorials: Thin Particle Brushes
aka Ethereal
Eye Lashes
There are new tutorials and examples created with
particle brushes:
Ok, this is still very early
alpha code under development. Still, we wanted to
start sharing some news about what's likely going
to be in the best release, probably called PD Pro
8.2
Force field on Foliage
brushes
Here's a short video that
shows how you'll be able to activate the
forcefield in the regular particle brushes and
then use it in the foliage brushes too.
We're planing to add GPU support, i.e. the The
Graphics Processor Unit on your graphics card or
chip. This can help accelerate certain operations
which are starving for billions of floating point
operations. We're starting to add it in the 3D
Designer, as seen in this video:
Since November 1st, we're running a holiday 2012
promotion to upgrade you from v6 or from v7 to the
latest v8 (Howler or Artist edition) at the great
discount of 71% off the regular price. The regular
price of PD Howler 8 for instance is $139.
With the discount, you pay just about $40 to
upgrade.

November
2012 Thanksgiving special:
Buy
PD Pro 6 for just $10(!) (regular $53)
If you're not sure yet whether PD Pro 8 is right
for you, and you want to take small steps towards
creative bliss, try PD Pro 6 first. We're offering
the Howler edition for just $10 this month of
November. No coupons needed. This is the full
installer, not an upgrade. The regular price for
v6 is $53 - you save $43.
Ok, so v6 is not the latest or greatest Howler
there ever was anymore, but it still is awesome
and if you can't afford v7 or v8 yet, v6 sure is a
treat at just $10. And it is fully supported
and upgradeable, should you later want to move up
to v8. or beyond.
Another
crazy Upgrade promotion:
Upgrade
from v5 (or 4) to v8 with 59% off
Whether you just recently bought PD Pro v5 at our
October special of $5, or whether you have been
sitting on v5 or v4 for a long time, we think it's
time to move up to v8. To that effect, we want to
make it easier for you to upgrade. From now till
end of November 2012, you get a 59% discount
when upgrading to PD Pro 8, Howler or Artist
edition from v4 or v5. Simply contact
Philip and tell us you'd like to upgrade to
v8 from v4 or v5, whichever you have. We'll then
send you a discount coupon for the 59% discount -
and you get a full installer. http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/about
If you have an even older, earlier version, such
as PD Pro 3.5, or any other from before that
time, we'll still help you upgrade if you wish,
with another discount coupon around 40%-50%
depending on your version. Be sure to contact
Philip to request your coupon.
