Santa Clarita, CA - April 5, 2005 - Dan Ritchie, author of the award
winning paint and animation software "Project Dogwaffle" and "PD Pro",
has announced the availability of a new updatecalled version 3.1,
available for as a free download to users of PD Pro 3.0 and as a full
version installer to new users.
"We've added a number of exciting new features in this one,", said Ritchie
"There's a new histogram panel, keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste
a custom brush straight to/from the Clipboard and to clear the selection
in Alpha. Tools for making animations loopable, various speed improvements, saving
animated brushes directly as image sequence, and a new Batch processor
which we think is very cool."
Other new features included in PD Pro v3.1:
* an updated file browser which now caches thumbnails for speed.
* The Timeline now sports several new compositing modes that let you
select an image sequence (!) to composite over, allowing amongst
other things an animation to be processed against another animation.
* You can now reverse fields on all frames from the frames animation
submenu.
* Batch processing: Available from the File menu, it offers numerous
filters to be applied to image files and saved to many formats.
Updated Help File:
At the same time, new content has been added to the online help files.
They represent a continuously maintained and updated User's Guide
which can be downloaded compressed in a single zip file for local
viewing or consulted online at TheBest3D.com/dogwaffle/help
New Tutorials and Reviews:
Several new tutorials have been added online at thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/tuts
while several reviews were recently completed by artists for magazines and
e-zines.
"This marks a new phase for PD Pro, going from 3.0 to 3.1.", said Ritchie.
We've added to the set of tools offered. We've improved performance,
and we've identified and fixed a few bugs, with great feedback and support
from enthusiastic hobbyists and professionals alike, as witnessed also by new
gallery entries in the Dogwaffler of the Moment section (DOTM) of our website.
We're proud to observe that some respectable design studios have taken a
liking to PD Pro, while we also notice hobbyists making the commitment from
the free version 1.2 to PD Pro or the very affordable Project Dogwaffle 2. It
feels great to get the endorsement we have, and to have contributed to helping
the creative minds of so many artists!"
