Yeah; I had PD Particles a few years back (before I upgraded my XP to Win7 64-bit) via GAOTD site, but, of course, lost it with the upgrade. PD Particles was the coolest program for creating these organic brushwork. I've see wonders with folks using Live Brush too. My only beef with any of these programs is that I don't have a pad and am not an artist; am a filter guy. lol
Still, I did like augmenting my renders with PD Particles as I recall (for a few of the renders that I created that is). Have to admit, I had more then just fun with Flame Painter too. Wonder why he doesn't create other programs based on the various experiments at his website? It's almost like he sells Flame Painter to make just enough money to maintain his website to show his cool creations. Anyway, again, I like your wire render. Seen the T Rowe Price commercials where they create cool renders with wires and wanted to figure out how they do that (can already create renders out of rice like their other commercial; lol). Have conquered both ice and water and made more then enough inroads with fire, but to do the odd renders like wire bundles is beyond me for now.
