Intuos Creative Stylus 2 for iPad

iichiversii · 4 Sept 2014, 19:05

Just saw this announced today, and i have to admit im very impressed, http://www.wacom.com/en/de/creative/intuos-creative-stylus
Iwas tempted to buy the Cintiq Companion yesterday to make my life easier when it comes to texturing my creations but the price tag was €1200, then this poped up today and is only
€99,90, an iPad retails at around €500 so do the math, €600 Vs €1200.

So what ye all think, is it worth it?

Keep in mind the Samsung Galaxy Tablets with SPen.
I believe they are cheaper than an Ipad and you don't need to buy the wacom pen.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 and it is excellent for sketching, the tablet size would be even better although less portable.

Have you ever used the Galaxy Note to texture a model ?

In the sense of putting together jpg and png to use on models, Yes all the time, I use it a lot for image manipulation, sketching etc as it's easy to hand and software is cheap and powerful. I can create what I want wherever I am simply using the pen and dropbox it straight to my PC to add to a model.
But I'm always on the move and have to throw things together on the fly so it suits my workflow.
However, I would love to have Rich's toy.

That does look good, I'm now blocking any and all wacom related websites before I end up in bankruptcy court.

They are a great investment.

Productivity goes thru the roof.

I Can only imagine Rich, ill be getting a wacom in the near future for sure, but parting with my pocket change is hard

This one is not so bad for a simple PC or MAC Computer with any big screen(s)!
And you can use crazzy free prog like Verve! (PC)
(with 60 tilt levels of the rotation of brush)
Sure it's not easy to use it in fresh air! You must stay at home!

Not bad, but having a screen to draw on seems to have a huge advantage, and i must admit i do a lot on the move so having the table version was a must.
