The interesting painting software "PD Particles" comes from the Best3D/Project Dogwaffle-thinktank around Dan Ritchie. This program is an independent version of the Optipustics plug-ins from "PD Pro". "PD Particles" is a painting program for making sketches, illustrations and art work.

This program's special feature is its particle function. As soon as the latter is activated by the user, particle traces are generated that are influenced by the mouse or the pencil. The traces change in size and colour, are controlled by the degree of pressure and swiftness of movement of the input medium and interact with existing parts of the picture. In this way many textures can be made, hair painted, landscapes generated and more- the possibilities are almost infinite! "An ideal software for illustrators, artists and photographers. A professional painting program, either as a main tool or as a supplement for other software solutions, that is also attractive in price terms. "PD Particles" supports all the usual file formats (.tga, .psd, .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc.).

"PD Particles 1.0" is available as a download.
