Hello, I have started to upload a few plugins and add-ons for use with and around PD Pro, Project Dogwaffle Professional (some also for the earlier version 2 or PD Artist 1). Look for Dogwaffle related stuff uploaded by me in the free stuff area.

 

There's some stuff for Halloween such as the spooky clock (watch the 13th hour!)

 

There's animbrushes with too many pumpkins, and fall colors (leaves) just in time for the Halloween contest.

 

Today I've uploaded a standalone player, the DWA Viewer, which you don't need Dogwaffle for. It's to let others view .dwa files you may have sent them. DWA files are massive, uncompressed files. They're quick to save though, so that's the way to save in PD Pro when saving an animation WIP. As long as you work with it you don't want to save to Avi or image seuqnce. ONly when it's time to do something else with it, outside of PD Pro, only then would you want to export or convert it. The DWA is meant to be fast and has minimal parameters (make that zero). It's an RGB memory dump with header width and height and frame count. The code is OpenSource, developers welcome! Have a look at it in the links provided with today's upload if you're interested in adding DWA support to your own animation programs.

 

The SDK for developers of PD Pro is freely available at http://www.dogwaffle.info/dogwaffle/sdk

 

Happy coding and animating!
