  1. I'm sure these Wacom display tablets will be awesome however, the prices are too high for mere mortals like myself.

    I picked up this guy at the start of the summer for $459.00 and couldn't be happier, it's the Ugee 15.6 Inches HK1560 IPS Display Graphics Monitor Drawing Pen Tablet

    https://www.amazon.com/Ugee-HK1560-Resolution-DisplayPort-Rechargeable/dp/B01M5HGRZM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503877679&sr=8-3&keywords=ugee+16+display+tablet

    Inexpensive, responsive, low parallax.. For the driver install, once I purged my system of all wacom software (including the wintab drivers), it was smooth sailing.

    Again, would love to own a Wacom but just cant justify paying almost 4x the price.

  2. When it comes to 3D software, I have the attention span of a squirrel... It's so tough to stick with Max or Maya, AD's lack of vision is disappointing, <- and the price. I have not upgraded my perpetual licenses since they went rental only as there are better options (for me) out there. 

    These days I tend to gravitate around Houdini Indie, Blender and Modo Indie.

    ZBrush and 3DCoat for sculpting.

    3DCoat and Substance for texturing.

  3. Price is going to be the driver for me, if I can get an equivalent configuration on Windows for less than half the price then it doesnt make sense to go Mac.

    Personally I think Apple is going about this the wrong way, they should make Macs much more affordable and flood the market and capture more market shares.. I think people want alternatives to Windows for their day to day work machines.

  4. In case you missed it, here's the link for the presentation (Might be the same one as above, not sure but just in case). The live event broadcast was choppy but they actually had in-house recording as well, that's the link I'm posting. Definitely worth the watch.

    Amazing new features.. The new boolean system, new rigging (biharmonic), infinite oceans, the new terrain tools.. All realtime in the viewport with opencL acceleration...etc. Cool stuff! :)

     

     

  5. All depends what you need it to do.. For a pure server environment, these could be really awesome, I'm already thinking of my next VSphere / HyperV environment running these suckers.. You can spin a lot of VMs with that many cores. For the tech geek in me, these sound awesome.

    On the 3D end of things, apps that rely mostly on CPU power might get a serious boost from these, ZBrush anyone? For rendering, there are a lot of render engines that are not yet on the GPU.. All in all, I think there's a healthy market for these. <- Again, depends on what you need it to do.
