Wacom Cintiq
Wacom Cintiq direct pen-on-screen tablet lets you take advantage of natural hand-eye coordination and provides the feel of natural media. Ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip and natural feel along with smooth, flat surface. The design of the Wacom Cintiq pen minimizes the grip effort for hours of comfortable use I did not feel tired at all, even after long hours of 3D design. Optimized for a multi-monitor work environment the Wacom Cintiq, gives control and precision over work and helps speed production.Cintiq is a direct pen-on-screen device that comes with a video control unit, which provides video, USB and power connections for compatibility with notebooks, desktops and workstations.
What an amazing improvement over my existing Wacom Cintiq tablet, which has the same functionality but with a less direct-input method. Being used to working with the Wacom Intuos tablet and having never felt disabled using it kept me from being overly excited with this innovative way of editing. Having control of the pen and editing directly on screen opened new doors with its ease of use.It will amaze you as to how much like working with traditional mediums like paper and pencil the Wacom Cintiq is. You will be freely making strokes that combine with the flexible digital operative. The fact you can make strokes directly on the screen and see the result right beneath provides greater control and flexibility. Being able to draw right on, the screen and see the geometry being sculpted right under the pen tip makes you feel directly engaged in the digital sculpting process. This control and flexibility allows you to speed up your design work.
I believe any product in the Wacom Cintiq line will make a great investment if you are a hardcore illustrator, Matte painter, Designer or even a hobbyist. For those who like the more traditional art background and who have been working digitally, the Cintiq is an artist's dreams come true. an For it allows you to combine the advantages of your natural hand-eye coordination with the benefits of a digital environment. In addition, you will still have the intuitive pen-on-paper feel of the traditional art media
The one downside I found was the Wacom Cintiq tablet's lack of portability not that Wacom claims it to be a portable device. It would however be nice too have ease access to this amazing platform when on the go.
