Advanced Member puntoit Posted August 21, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted August 21, 2013 just to make you people drool as I do right now. http://community.wacom.com/2013/08/20/get-mobile/ I had a talk with someone inside of wacom last year and was forbidden to mention anything to the general puplic.Can´t wait to test 3dc on it.

Contributor BeatKitano Posted August 21, 2013 Contributor Share Posted August 21, 2013 You won't. GMA 4k chip, no proper dx/gl support on those things. Probably lot of crashes if you even can manage to launch it. Hell I can't even run install maya on those things.

Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted August 22, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wacom's patents lapsed in 2012, thus we now have competition appearing on the scene. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/19-kingtee-19MB-Professional-LCD-drawing-board-graphic-tablet-LCD-pen-display-monitor-touch-screen/108927_495645258.html Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15008-new-wacom-gimmic-announced/#findComment-98711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member michalis Posted August 22, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted August 22, 2013 I always wonder, how difficult is to convert an ipad to a hybrid wacom tablet. But apple doesn't seem to like such things.

Advanced Member michalis Posted August 22, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yes, Beat, I noticed this new stylus for the ipad. It doesn't turn ipad to a hybrid wacom tablet though. I mean, to connect it to a PC or MAC. To share the screen.

Advanced Member Nossgrr Posted August 23, 2013 Advanced Member Share Posted August 23, 2013 I was puzzled by the price and specs, at those prices I was expecting Samsung Attiv Q. type of specs. Dunno. Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15008-new-wacom-gimmic-announced/#findComment-98774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cintiq Companion (the one that runs Windows) doesn't have good specs for using 3D software like Maya and 3D-Coat? I was having a lot of trouble finding the exact hardware specs and if the graphics card supports CUDA/OpenGL. It is really sad if this thing can't run my favorite software packages well...

Contributor BeatKitano Posted August 23, 2013 Contributor Share Posted August 23, 2013 Apprently it's an Intel HD 4000 which are shit (for a lack of a softer word) for 3d software. Last time I tried to run maya on this on my fujitsu tablet pc it wouldn't even install (min requirements), I didn't try 3dc though but I certainly wouldn't get my hopes up since intel drivers are more on the ogl side of the business... and they still are terrible.

Contributor TimmyZDesign Posted August 23, 2013 Contributor Share Posted August 23, 2013 Oh, I see. Thanks Beat. It's a real shame that they put such a lousy graphics card in there! I guess this tablet pc is mostly aimed towards 2D artists or something...

Contributor BeatKitano Posted August 23, 2013 Contributor Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's fine for photoshop (and probably every 2d program out htere), and zbrush. For the rest no guarantee.

For 2D art and ZB, I'd probably go for a MS Surface Pro or the soon to be announced Surface Pro 2 instead, at $2400 for the Wacom pro tablet, it's way, way out there.

Overpriced, as every wacom products but you forget pressure sensitivity, and I think there's none on surface (and if there is it's probably a penabled tech with only 256 levels). Without pressure you've got an ipad with better hardware and win 8 and that's not a cool setup for this use :x Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15008-new-wacom-gimmic-announced/#findComment-98803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a driver issue at launch I beleive that made it not pressure sensitive at all, has long been resolved with MS implementing compatibility with the Wintab API.
