Santa Clarita, CA - June 24, 2005 - Dan Ritchie, author of PD Pro Digital Painter and Project Dogwaffle Paint and Animation software, has released a new update patch for users of PD Pro 3.x.
Version 3.2 contains new speed optimizations for built-in brushes, as well as faster interactive panning and zooming for working on large projects.
"The main goal of this release is to deliver on the promise of realtime performance.", said Ritchie. "The update is a broad one, with code throughout the application receiving speed optimizations."
The undo system, screen refresh and alpha blending, as well as dozens of individual features have been updated or completely re-written. In one case, a filter (the color replacer) was rewritten 5 times before it was fast enouph. Many filters are being 'realtimed' in this manner. The brush system feels much faster too with most built-in brushes.
Some of the New Features
- Added a halftone filter, realtimed and integrated it
- new gain control for the brightness of particle brishes.
- Caps lock now switches to secondary color (erase)
- Windows snapping makes it easier to lay out panels
- Added mouse wheel support for zooming
- Home key as shortcut to center the image
- A menu item is created if Martin Writes multi-print plugin is installed
- The Mosaic and Quilt plugins are integrated and realtimed
- many features may experience speedups, including plasma noise, bumpytoy, etc.
- Added 'Old Film look' filter in the timeline editor.
- Added a couple of new papers textures
- You can also save animated brushes in the media manager
