Project Dogwaffle is affordable paint software for the PC with built-in, user-defined, animated & fractal particle brushes. A companion to your 2D+3D web authoring or animation tools, or as your first step into virtual art and matte painting with mouse or tablet, it is here for you to paint, sketch, animate and paint... almost like on the real thing, but without the mess or occasional spill! Draw Anime, enjoy nature painting, edit photos & digital images, add special FX to CG animations and your home movies, do professional post work, and create fantasy art. For developers and VB programmers there\'s also a free SDK to extend Dogwaffle with more filters and plugins.

Project Dogwaffle version 1.2 is a new product based on the powerful achitecture of Dogwaffle 2.0. We\'ve created a light, yet powerful tool for artistic expression. We felt that the aging free version (1.11b) was in need of an update, since it was written for earlier operating systems and we wanted our new users to have the speed and power of our newer software architecture.

Dogwaffle 1.2 is not just a stripped-down demo of our software - it\'s a fully
functional version with some new features too. It is not save-disabled, there\'s no time-limit, no registration needed.

For users who want to get the full power of Project Dogwaffe, we offer the commercial version at a low price. In it, you will get even more power with advanced features, more filters, more special FX and more animation support.

We feel that version 1.2 is a great free tool for artists who are just getting started, and for seasoned professionals alike.

Programmers will find that our pluggin interface supports all but one plugin command, so they can develop applications that work with either the full version or this new free version.

We have eliminated some of the fat from the program, to keep things lite, so things like bulky help files have been excluded, however help and tutorials are available online. For graphics support, we have included internal support for BMP files, as well as the native Targa format. Single images as well as brushes and frame sequences can be loaded in these formats.

Also, keep in mind that v2.0 came out in January 2004, while v1.2 was built a month later. Since then, several patches and free updates for v2.0 were released. This has added many more plugins, filters and features for the commercial version 2 which is at release 2.1b as of August 2004.
