PD Howler 10 is almost here - ready to Pre-order?
PD Howler is almost here, and you can pre-order it now, and already use a pre-release build. You will later receive the fully released version, once it is available. This will probably be mid January 2016 but it can potentially vary.
Note that the new full price of PD Howler 10 will be $74. Also, we're continuing to offer PD Howler 9.6, and have reduced the price of it from $64 to $49. Look further below for details on v9.6.
Pre-Ordering v10 - for Existing Users of PD Howler, PD Artist or PD Particles:
If you already have the current latest PD Howler you can pre-order with a discount code. If you have earlier versions you can pre-order too but with a lesser discount.
From Howler v9.6/9.5 to new Howler v10:
enjoy 55% off the regular price when pre-ordering (will be 50% off after the release promo).
This is about $33 for a $74 product.

The above shown discounts are not automatic; you will need a discount coupon. Contact us if you need a discount coupon from your current version. It does not currently have to be installed or working. Even if you ordered long ago and have since switched to a newer PC, or had a disk crash and lost the installer, you qualify for an upgrade discount if we can find your purchase record. Please include proof of purchase, best you can: state what version you have, what email was used when ordering and whether it may have changed, and if possible include a confirmation email you had received from bmtmicro, daz3d, renderosity, Steam or other resellers, or indicate if it was a payment through Paypal from Dan Ritchie's direct sales. If you ordered from our store at BMTmicro we can very likely find your purchase record there.
Pre-Ordering v10 - for New Users:
If you are new to Project Dogwaffle and don't have any prior version of PD Howler, PD Artist, PD Pro or PD Particles, we are still offering a discount: 27% off for pre-ordering. (Hurry: this will be dropped to 24% off upon launch and only for a limited time launch promo)
This discount is automatic, no discount coupon is needed for this 27% discount to take effect.

New in v10:
The Sound of (...Painting under the Influence of your own Voice, and) Music
You've seen painting under the influence of force fields. For many years, we've had that feature in our particle brushes. Any current image could turn into the force field, to deflect new particle brush strokes.
Now, with v10, one of the newest features, and still somewhat experimental at that, is an Audio Monitor that tracks sounds on the microphone. The volume of that is then used to affect the size of the brush. This can give you some new levels of exploring new brush stroke effects.
For now, the feature is implemented just in one brush category: the Orbicles. It is made accessible through a new 'Style' option.
- In the Particles brush panel, select Orbicles
- Enable them, and load a preset from the 'Load...' button in lower right corner, or set your own parameters.
- There is a Style menu, which is new in v10, along with other new parameters such as using the gradient. (note: all of these styles are new in v10 - this is just a very special one :-)
- In the Style menu, use the new option: Audio Controller
- When you see the Audio Meter window, it will start showing the sound level, but it may not et be affecting the brush. Be sure to click Start. If you say a few words, the meter will show when it is picking it up.
It may be subtle. Try a variation from soft level to loud. For example: cough! Also, hard rock or punk music might be impressive, or anything with sudden and repetitive changes in volume levels. Imagine the drums in Also sprach Zaratustra! (2001 a Space Odyssey). Or Wagner's Dance of the Walkyrie! Or, very fitting.... Dan Ritchie's "The Big Reveal": http://thebest3d.com/music/dr/Soundtrack_Collection_01_Preview/The_Big_Reveal_Preview.mp3
Or try while playing this: Primates with Guns Monster Mix http://thebest3d.com/music/somnitz/PrimatesWithGunsMonsterMix.mp3
Or if you have some Celtic origins: Vibrant Legacy http://thebest3d.com/music/somnitz/Vibrant_Legacy.mp3
Ok, so we're still experimenting and learning how to use this exactly. It will undoubtedly open new possibilities down the line, perhaps much more in 10.1, but here's a first image done with it. We hope it inspires to start practicing your vocal chords!
