Announcing the
pre-release phase of PD Pro 7 Howler.
codename:
"Galactic Raindrop"
enhancing your
the digital world, one drop at a time...
November 13, 2011
We are only a few
weeks away from releasing PD Pro 7-based PD
Howler. "Galactic Raindrop". At this time we
have decided to offer pre-ordering. You can
secure your copy of PD Pro 7 Howler in several
ways.
Remember:
PD Howler includes full animation support. If
you don't care for animation and would rather
not pay for that feature, you may want to wait
for the announcement about the new PD Artist
based on PD Pro 7. It will follow after the
release of PD Pro 7 Howler. If you don't
have PD Artist yet, look here for more
details.
How

If you

What's New &
Coming to PD Howler / PD Pro 7?
We're
working hard on PD pro 7. There will be
some nice improvements in it. We're not
ready yet for a full feature list at this time
but here are a few things we can talk about.
We spent a
lot of time on our 3D API (Application
Programmer Interface), and that's starting to
show, as we're using it ourselves for new
features, plugins and modules. We've
overhauled the wireframe designer and it's now
called the 3D designer. You can use any
image as a height map, and view it in realtime
now. There's also the option to animate
it, so anything you do with your underlying
image can be turned into an animation.
You could use the timeline to move a texture,
and then make it look like flying through a
3-D terrain, for example. We've already
done some Star Wars style trench fly-throughs,
just for old time sake. The
imagination's the limit here. When you enable
Mirror mode, it gets even wackier, even
better.
We've got a
few speed improvements as well. Zooming
is much faster now. Also there's a new
smooth scaling option to alleviate aliasing
when zoomed in and out.
Fill tools
have seen improvements in that they are now
realt ime so you can see exactly what you get
as you draw them.
There's a
new color picker dubbed by the beta team, the
"Quicker Color Picker." It's activated
by the space bar, so you can pic a color right
where your mouse is.
There are
for example improvements, little details, that
mean a universe to some of us, such as this:
when you paste an image from the Clipboard,
you can now not only have it replace the
current image or draw into the current image
like before, but you can now also have it
instead come in as a custom (image) brush.
That kind of thing can speed up the creative
process tremendously.
There will of
course be other new features as well.
With this one, we're trying to do some things
we've had to put on the back burner for a
number of years. We want it to be
something we really feel happy about. It
should be a fun ride.
