What kind of platform reach are we talking about? Given Valve's various moves over the past few years, the major PC operating systems are pretty much all a given. (Windows, OSX, Linux/SteamOS) But will Source 2 be portable to Android, or iOS? Will it be possible to get it to run on tablets and smartphones? What about most…
Hey polycounters! I'll be making a trip to US in a few months and I wanted to take the chance and get a nice laptop for work and gaming too. I mostly user 3ds Max/Maya , Zbrush , Substance Painter and Photoshop. I work with games so I need a decent GPU to handle low to high textures in Painter and some decent memory to…
hahahaha saw that.. but i figured most gamers/artists playing it would either have a tablet or a 3 button mouse anyway. Valve should make a new page that says Portal is FREE! (mouse not included)
Honestly, it's a great portable alternative that I can take with me on trips. I like the surface more than the typical cintiqs and it feels like it has a better response. The windows version has to regrettably deal with some of the inherent win10 tablet functions and isn't super intuitive, but when I'm working in PS or…
I don't know who here was assuming it would need pressure sensitivity. There's certainly a lot of us who desire it though. I don't understand how that's confusing, or why we wouldn't want to be able to draw and create art on an ultra-portable tablet with other useful functions. I could picture myself carrying it everywhere…
It's clearly not designed for finished art in mind, just quickie notations and basic concept sketches. Hence the extremely conservative specs and low cost. If you want to produce finished art with a touch screen, you would need a Cintiq. (or comparable tablet computer) But those are full computers that cost thousands of…
I use my iPod Touch as a pocket netbook. Sure, it can't run PS or Max or whatever on it, but that's not the point of it at all. It's a pocket sized NETBOOK. The iPad is basically a big iPod Touch, and is designed to dominate the netbook, e-reader and portable games market. I do think there's a point to it, just like ASUS…
Thanks a whole lot for the suggestions everyone ! This is very much appreciated :) -- Kurt, that's awesome !! Your video was the only one I could find showing an actual artist working on a 15x and it all seemed very responsive - so that was the tipping point pushing me to buy it :D I too went through a whole lot of tablets…
Warning: Detailed response. All digitizers will have lag, the question is whether its noticeable or not. I have seen little to none, and many have shown the same. I dont know of any artist that wails their hands around as fast as they can for their cg art. The pen mechanism is springy, thats the only type of "feel" you get…
FiXD! Maybe think about desktop + netbook? Should also think about where you'd use your laptop if you had one and what you'd primarily be doing. Painting and 3d sculpting is going to be tricky, unless you also carry a tablet with you wherever you go. Forget about taking it out in direct sunlight to watch a dvd, or sketch…
