ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

hi i have been really thinking about mobility of tablets and portability and what it can add in terms of availability at any time any where… specifically something that has enough pressure sensitivity and power to be upgraded enough to run zbrush smoothly… so far the only option i found really that comes close is this model by asus, http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_…specifications so i was wondering if any one here in the zbrush community has had a chance to use this with zbrush and what they think in terms of performance and pressure sensitivity of sculpting and photoshop… also wanted to ask if theres anything else out there that is better than the asus ep121 that would be better for zbrush… or would it be better to wait a year or two for the technology to be improved but yeah please let me know what you here in the zbrush community think love the idea of portability… :wink:

But yeah just wondering what options are available to us zbrush artists…?

Maybe it is just me, but I would go with a product that is made for zbrush.

The 12 inch Cintiq is the same size and same price, and I would be runs Zbrush a lot better. Maybe some people will explain to me otherwise, but that is what I would do

hi koots yes i thought about the cintiq alot when i was first doing research but the only bad that thing about it is its just the screen so you cant install any programs on it but it does have a higher pressure sensitivity to it than the asus but its not really portable per say because you need a computer to hook it up to and also another power-supply all together so that in its self kind of limits the possibilities of its portability unless i brought a separate ups with when ever i went somewhere to use it for extended battery life… but yes i do agree with you the cintiq would be nice to use in zbrush and photoshop… plus the asus tablet is actually endorsed by wacom and says it uses the same kind of recognition technology the only downfall in this case is it has less pressure sensitivity than the intous and the cintiq, but for portable digital art on the go it is the only thing i have found so far thats why i was wondering if anybody in the zbrush community might have found something that performs better… but thank you for the advice i have considered it many times in the past…

hey spaceboy412 that is exactly what i meant to try to say seems like there performance has gotten better over the years and can handle zbrush and other paint programs with very little lag or slow down since when ever i sculpt i rarely ever hit over a million poly to describe the structure and foundation level of my sculpture… no i have not yet checked that out yet but ill give it a go and see what comparable tablets they have out…

so far just doing some searches on youtube i did find some video demonstrating the performance in both 2d and 3d interaction… even running some maya and max fluently…:wink:
