Sidegrading to PD Artist v10 (and getting Artist edition v11)?

2017-03-22

Hi all. Whether you have been on the sidelines, staying with v9.6 of PD Howler and wondering if you'll want to upgrade to Howler v11 some day once it's out, or come to realize that perhaps you're not doing so much in terms of animation and video work, then perhaps you'll find the PD Artist sister product of interest. PD Artist is lower priced than PD Howler, since it lacks the animation features and a bunch of filters that are in the Animated category. No working on videos or image sequences. It does however still have the same brushes (even animbrushes) and 3D landscape creation tools, foliage, and many filters for visual effects. We have recently launched the Artist edition v10, and are offering it with a future free upgrade to v11 of PD Artist. If you are sure that you don't need tools for working on image sequences, animations or videos, be sure to check out PD Artist 10.

TL;DR: Howler is a great program for digital painting, but it has some design decisions that might annoy you if you are used to other art programs. The Long Version: First off let me say that I've owned Howler for a few months, but just recently got it on Steam, so my hours listed here don't reflect my time with the program. Howler is an interesting beast - on the one hand you have a tool which seems to have an...

This is a fantastic art studio, animation creator and more! The interface takes a bit of getting used to as does remembering where everything is located. There are extensive short cut keys but again they need to be learned. I am used to programs like Paintshop Pro 13 and the menu systems employed by them. PD Howler does have menus and a RIGHT CLICK system for accessing the properties of the menu item if...
