Hello, here is another very quick update with the
Dogwaffler of the Moment newsletter.
You may also want to view this and other online
editions in HTML with images and links to
videos. Start here:

Howler 9.5 is here... Now
What?
As
mentioned in the prior newsletter, Howler 9.5 has
been released. If you missed the details, here's
an updated page with what's new, and links to some
new tutorials.
http://www.thebest3d.com/howler/9/what-is-new-in-the-Howler-9.5_Purely_Ballistic.html
A good summary of new features, with many images,
sample videos and tutorials, can also be seen in
the general features page:
http://www.thebest3d.com/howler/features
You may want to bookmark it and keep looking for
new features highlighted there too. It's also a
good place to (re)discover what was added in some
prior releases, especially if you're new to
Project Dogwaffle. Find out about Puppy Ray, the
ray tracing engine added in version 9.0. Or learn
about Foliage brushes, first added in Howler 8.2.
The Motion Prediction module was also a majr
milestone, ever since v7.2. Can you find your own
favorite feature? Do you focus on digital
painting? Photo editing and enhancing? Or 3D
landscapes? Or video and special visual effects,
VFX? or all of the above?
If you're interested in going back in time even
further, have a look at this old what's new list:

Do you remember, were you already a waffler when
the first Optipuss particle brushes were revealed?
We have updated the 9.5 slideshow too, with new
images and music by Jose Luis Suazo:

This is a rendering straight from 3D Designer
through the Timeline. The one further below was
then processed in the MPM 9Motion Prediction
Module) to get a motion-estimated slow-motion
version.

Snowstorm 01
http://youtu.be/lS7b_vKBLSg
This short clip shows a few pine trees made with a
new preset for Foliage brushes, and snowfall added
several times at various settings for size and
speed and direction of snow flakes. You see, we've
had a bit of a heatwave in Southern California
last week, so it's refreshing just to look at this
:-).
More Videos
As we write this, more videos are rendering, and
will soon be posted to our YouTube channel. Have a
look for them here:
