Reminder: The Cool Creative Bundle includes Howler 8

Learn more about the CCB at http://www.thebest3d.com/cool-creative-bundle or go directly to http://www.CoolCreativeBundle.com

Occasionally, you'll see other updated versions of some of the tools included in the CCB. For example, Archipelis Designer is now at version 4.

If you already use the Cool Creative Bundle, you will have discovered Curvy 3D too. The latest version (outside of the CCB) is version 3, and it is amazing! Have a look at http://www.thebest3d.com/curvy

Reminder: Royalty-free music for your projects

Earlier in 2013, the author of Project Dogwaffle himself, Dan Ritchie, also released a collection of tunes that you can license for royalty-free use in your multimedia projects. Check http://www.thebest3d.com/music/dr for a few samples.

Royalty-free music also comes included in the CCB, the Cool Creative Bundle, mentioned above. This is in a different category, Trance and Electronica, by DJ d'Artagnan aka John Somnitz.

Another collection of great music is by Jose Luis Suazo of Honduras, an artist that goes by eMaya - Mayan music for the computer age. You can discover a lot of his music on http://www.thebest3d.com/music/jls
Some of his collections are available for free on Soundcloud, some is for purchase on CD Baby and on iTunes. If you like to relax, meditate and listen to soothing music, perhaps while looking for inspiration while painting and rendering with Puppy Ray, this may be what you've been looking for. Or why not buy a CD for a friend?
