Project
Dogwaffle's particle tracing system (Optipustics) is
highly customizeable. This page contains examples of what
can be created with just a few strokes buy using various
Dogwaffle settings. You can right-click and save the *.opt
files shown here. If you copy the *.opt files into the
folder where Dogwaffle is installed then you'll see that
they will be recognized as optipustics presets the
next time you start Dogwaffle. Note that some of the
settings here may already be in your system, because
there is a good collection of presets since the PD 1.6
release. A few additional ones shown here were posted by
Dan Ritchie or others. Finally, keep in mind that you can
and are encouraged to change the many parameters to
explore variants of these and create and save your own new
settings. And if you find a new great preset you'd like to
donate don't be shy and email it to us at along with a Jpeg image showing
an example of what you can do with that setting.
The newer versions of Dogwaffle, PD Artist, PD Howler and PD Particles,
include also a collection of a different brush type, called Foliage
brushes. These contain not just one set, but up to 9 sets of parameters.

Sometimes, changing just one little
parameter value or working with different colors and
opacity modulation in the color gradient can create very
interesting variants. Try the Garland for instance, and
change the number of splits from 4 to 7, it will make for
a much more fluffy, almost furry appearance. And don't
forget also that some of these are best used with
animations and in combination with a brush or glow mode,
even through the stroke player in order to spread the
optipustics drawing effect across a number of frames (for
example the fireworks settings).
How to install:
Click the link of a chosen particle setting (or
right-click or select 'Save Link Target As...' or
equivalent depending on your browser) to save the .opt
file. Be sure to save the file into the proper folder for
your version of the software:
