I
follow the tools of the trade in skinning. I'm hoping that someday skills, money (for said tools), and talent will all at once land in my lap and the visions (not voices) in my head will come out.
It's not likely to happen but if I had the money for it, I think I found the tablet I'd get.
Have you seen the Wacom Cintiq 12WX?
The 12-inch, 16:10 tablet has an LCD monitor underneath a
pressure-sensitive layer that lets you actually draw right on the
screen. And lest you think the 12WX is just a scaled down version of
the larger 21UX, it also includes tilt and rotation sensitivity
on input devices (not the screen), the better to emulate real-life pencils and brushes.
No batteries required—it's all powered over USB. A convertor unit bridges the USB with a DVI or VGA connection.
Raise your hand if you think this might fit in your stocking this Christmas.
