Using
the new brushes in PD Howler 9.6:
PD Particle 9 - from Outer
Space
Just a few weeks ago, we released the newest
edition of PD Particles: PD Particle 9.
PD Particle 9 is a light
version derived from PD Artist. It doesn't do
animations or video work like motion prediction,
that's something you see in PD Howler. It also
has fewer filters than PD Artist and PD Howler.
For example, it doesn't have the 3D Designer or
Puppy Ray for 3D landscape rendering. On the
flip side, it is much more affordably priced at
just $7.99, and it has some great new interface
ideas, including pinch zoom if you have a
touchscreen.
If you have been using the
older version of PD Particles (and boy is it old
:-) .... ), i.e. PD Particles 1.x, you'll be
happy to know that PD Particle 9 now includes
the full Custom brushes (which it didn't in v1).
It also has the Bristle brushes, Orbicle brushes
and the awesome Foliage brushes(!) so it goes
way beyond what the old PD Particles had.
One way to learn more and
further explore is by seeing the interface. Look
here to see the new tabbed interface:
Along the bottom
left of the images, you'll notice a few handy
shorcuts to access various types of media, i.e.
brushes. PD Particle 9 has a few other
improvements over earlier versions.
"allow brush
transforms" is automatic when changing
brush size.

We've had some great feedback from other artists
who love to sketch and paint. We hope you'll
like it too.
