Quote:PD Artist is similar to its big brother, PD Howler, but PD Artist focuses on photos and images — you will do a lot of magical tricks to help you in your creative quest for visual effects!
PD Artist does go beyond its little cousin PD Particles, which is primarily made for painting. PD Artist includes many more filters and tools for special effects. It also includes a 3D pipeline for rendering a variety of things such as natural looking terrains and fictitious landscapes, typically based on one or several currently loaded images, from the Main image to the Swap image and even to an image in the custom brush.
The starting image can be a simple black and white or greyscale of dimples and dots or grids, squares and more sophisticated patterns. It can also be plasma-based noisy elevation maps. What you can create from it are a variety of scenes with mountains, endless landscapes that tile and repeat forever until disappearing in the distant fog, or simply make awesome 3D logos too. It’s all starting with an image, whether it’s something you painted yourself, or rendered in another 3D program, or something that you photographed. Pixels are pixels, and the brighter they are, the higher up in elevation they’ll appear. The dark ones will define the lower elevations, such as valleys and canyons, river beds and an abbyss at the edge of your planetary vision.
PD Artist also includes a great set of brushes for various natural looking, painted medias, including effects like sophisticated pigment lifting(!). This helps in simulating translucent watercolor. You can add paper texture to be revealed through your brush strokes, like in real water colors when painting on rough paper.
