Hello again,

Moment" newsletter.

Howler 9.6
is a free update for users of
Howler 9.5. It is now available on our
BMTMIcro secure online store and also from the
developer directly, Dan Ritchie, at
squirreldome.com
If you already have Howler
9.5, you will receive an email with
notification for re-downloading your free
update. If you have not received it by April
1st, be sure to check your spam box. If still
no luck finding it, please be sure to contact us.
If you have the prior version, Howler 9.0, 9.1
or 9.2, you can get a discount of about 72%
off the regular price. Great discounts are
also available for upgrades from earlier
versions, as well as sidegrading from PD
Artist or PD Particles. Even if you have a
very old version such as version 4, 3.x or v2
or earlier (wow!), contact us
to request a discount coupon for upgrading to
v9.5.
Introductory Sale!
PD Howler 9.6 is
now on promotional launch sale. Regularly
priced at $89, enjoy a 35% discount
automagically. This offer expires March 10.
PD Howler 9.2 is
now only $49. If you're not in a hurry to get
the latest features from 9.5 and 9.6 but want
to start using the Puppy Ray raytracer and
other great features found since v9.0 through
9.2, start here.
We are in the
process of finalizing a new release of the
Artist edition. PD Artist 9.6 will be a paid
upgrade for users of prior versions. If you
don't care about animation tools or working
with image sequences or video, and don't mind
the lack of some of the tools such as the
clouds-oriented Particle Modeler, you will
soon be able to order PD Artist 9.6.
As a reminder, if you want it all, PD Howler
is what you're looking for. But if you're on a
very tight budget and just want to paint, PD
Artist may be a better match.
Version 9.6 of
the natural media paint and animation
program designed for visual effects work
includes bug fixes and several great new
features as well as enhanced versions of
pre-existing tools. The new version is
focused on improving the user experience on
different kinds of hardware ranging from
tablets to workstations, and adding new
tools that are critical to visual effects,
particularly in video content creation with
compositing, motion tracking, green screen
masking and such.
We'd like to thank Hollywood Camera
Work (http://www.hollywoodcamerawork.com)
for making great video footage available
that we were able to employ in tutorials in
order to show how the new features can be
used.
Great new feature! The
duplicate video frame repair toolkit:
The new duplicate frame
tool lets you manage video that has been
damaged due to dropped frames or improper
transcoding.
The tool helps you to find
dropped or duplicate frames, then lets you
manage them, either by deleting them, or
interpolating new in-between frames via
motion prediction technology.
Revamped camera
stabilization/tracking and camera motion
removal/restoration tool.
Revamped navigation:
Zoom from pointer
location instead of to the center of
screen. Optional scrollbars for when the
CTRL-Shift navigation isn't possible,
such as on tablets.
added CPU fallback
for foliage ambient occlusion that was
only available on GPU previously.
Reminder: Howler 9.6 is a pay
update to those using versions 9.2 and
earlier. However, a special discount price
is available. Those who previously upgraded
to version 9.5 will receive 9.6 for free.
The upgrade discount is available to users
of all versions, excluding free versions.
In case you missed it:
