RexM you are a marketing guy's wet dream :) is there any kind of new and totally unproven tech you're prepared to doubt :) while I'm really impressed with the device, some of your logic there is a little flawed. For instance getting rid of pencil from a pencil/pen scan is very simple. Pen is way darker than pencil
Also, I've got to ask, how many of you sketch in pen, and if you do what kind of line thickness differentiation are you achieving with increased/decreased pressure? I sketch in pencil and can get some pretty decent line variation (especially using a .07 or .09 mm lead).
This seems like it could be really cool, in a few revisions. I think I'm done with being an early adopter, especially with tech I don't absolutely need. I really don't enjoy drawing with a ballpoint pen. I'd much prefer a pencil or like Pior said a pad that can use any instrument.
Industrial Design guys will likely go nuts over this too, there's still a real favour for pen/pencil sketching and finishing in Photoshop with a lot of them so this is perfect. I'm interested to know how you start new drawings etc, there doesn't appear to be much in the way of a display on the scanner unit thing, just some…
Gotta see this because i see too many inconveniences, i'm more traditional and i prefer the traditional inking. I really don't know how it works... and i would like to see the quality of the inking. Btw, just with pencil, we can have a good line art. Let's see how much it costs...
I thought this looked interesting until I read that. This thing is now firmly in "I don't give half a crap" territory. When I'm drawing, I turn my pen/pencil/lump of burnt dung every whichway so I can get the best line quality possible. Not being able to do that would be a huge detriment to anything I was trying to do.
Slum I totally agree with you - I find it always a bit strange how many of us tend to just go "omg this is going to be so awesome!" even tho the tech has some obvious (and strong) limitations! I feel like this will indeed sell like crazy but the practicality problems will arise very quickly. I actually think that it might…
It won't track little smudges and stuff that happen when you have your hand on the paper. You can also actively make new layers on the paper that you can edit in a program later. Draw something, add new layer, draw something else... and edit those later on a computer. Also, you can choose to have the data you edit as…
