Upgrade from PD Howler 8.2 to PD Howler 9.1 ?

CrimsonMagic

Hi, I bought Project Dogwaffle - PD Howler 8.2 here at DAZ some time ago.
Is there any upgrade pricing for PD Howler 8.2 owners ?

Send an email to the support address on the Dogwaffle website and explain that you want to upgrade your 8.2 to 9.1.

You will have to send in a copy of your order information when you contact them and they send you info on how to upgrade.

Also sign up for the Dogwaffle newsletter as you'll get updates on new versions, tutorials, etc. for PD Howler.

Thanks for the info.

I had the hope that upgrade could be done via DAZ store somehow (e.g. coupon for 8.2 owners) but so far it seems not.

For my taste the dogwaffle web site looks a bit chaotic and I'm not yet sure if I want to give away personal data there to get an upgrade.

I copied the following from a PD Howler post dated Aug 5, 2013. I personally purchased Howler in September BECAUSE of this promotion. Anyway, it does answer this question for me. I hope to enjoy this upgrade:)

V9 Beta Promotion: we are opening the beta to the customers. If you order Howler 8 here on DAZ now through the release of Howler 9, you will get a free upgrade to v9 just for asking. You need to contact us for this. Contact Philip at www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/about and provide proof of PD Howler 8 purchase from Daz. In fact you can also preorder v9 that way by ordering v8 now, or also if you had ordered v8 in the past.
.
If you order(ed) Howler 8 on or after August 1st, this is a free upgrade. If you already had Howler 8 before August 1st 2013, you can still upgrade to v9 at significant discounts, starting around 70% off the full price. Contact me for details and your discount coupon. There are great new features coming with v9, and you can already start using some of them with the prerelease beta, such as Puppy Ray, our own new raytracer shown in the tutorial above.
.
Thanks for waffling and howling, thanks for painting and animating with Project Dogwaffle Howler!

to repeat:

Contact Philip at www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/about and provide proof of PD Howler 8 purchase from Daz.

Well, I got it 4 Jun, 2013 ... anyway ...

Guess there's no other way as to follow your proposal and contact Philip at their site.

Thanks again.

Hello all Dogwaffle users. Indeed if you bought Howler 8 on the DAZ store on or after August 1st 2013, and before February 11, 2014, (the date of release on Daz store for v9.1), then you will get a free upgrade (full installer) of the new Howler 9.1, but you have to contact me as I don't have a way to identify you on Daz. Contact me with a copy of your Daz order confirmation that shows the product(s) and date of purchase. A screen capture will do, or copy/paste the text from the web page, whatever works best for you.

If you own an earlier version, or v8 ordered prior to August 1st 2013, contact me for an upgrade discount coupon.

Here's part 3 of the spinning astronaut tutorial, which started with Carrara. We'll be exploring various ways to use the image seuqence of the spinning astronaut to composite or paint with.

Happy waffling and howling!

Ok, got the upgrade. Not free but it's ok :-)
Now I only need some spare time to try out the new features :)
