Daniel Ritchie of Project Dogwaffle and Phillip Staiger of TheBest3d.com Releases New Learning Edition of Howler™ Digital Painting and Editing Software
New Version Allows Non Commercial use for free


Valencia, Ca. — Daniel Ritchie, an industry innovator and provider of tools for digital painters and visual effects professionals, and Philip Staiger, promoter of tools for the artistic community, today released new learning edition of their award-winning software application, Howler™ Digital Painter. Howler is the ideal application for 'burn and go' bitmap editing, with high performance tools that have been enjoyed for over 15 years, and a pedigree going back to the amazing Amiga creativity platform. The learning edition allows free use of the program for non-commercial purposes. Features like fast keyframable, animatable filters, bluescreen/greenscreen compositing and color keying, rotoscoping through the animatable curve tool, frame re-timing through the motion module, and a plethora of animation related tools ease the content creation process. A modern, clean desktop interface and GPU acceleration makes the program simple and fun to use..


Howler Learning Edition is based on Howler 8.2 with a small handful of filters removed (about 20). The program is otherwise fully functional, with the terms of use explained in the about box (splashscreen). Users are encouraged to download the Learning Edition from the servers at www.squirreldome.com or www.thebest3d.com and to share the link with other users. File sharing and remote hosting is however not allowed. Please share a link only.


A newer version, Howler 9 is available for purchase. It includes the addition of 3D global illumination raytracing for animatable height maps such as terrain and data visualization, as well as improvements to the interface, workflow, integration, and new features. Howler 9 can be purchased from www.squirreldome.com or www.thebest3d.com. Special offers and upgrade versions can be found here http://dan-ritchie.wix.com/howlerpromotion


Availability
Howler Learning Edition can be downloaded for free for non-commercial use from the servers on www.squirreldome.com, http://www.squirreldome.com/download/Howler_8_2_Learning_Edition_rc03.exe  Please note that some systems may require "Run as Administrator" to install and/or operate the program.
