Insanely jealous! I'm hoping to get one later this year.
omg i think i just wet myself. so awesome.
It is really good. After I saw the first reviews I demo'd one in the store for about 10 minutes but I knew pretty much immediately that it I had to get it.
Okay I give up, what is this insanely cool looking piece of tech?
Wacom Cintiq 24HD. In short it's a 24" display that is also a drawing tablet. It sits on a heavy base and can be lowered to sit like a drafting table or raised upright like a traditional LCD display. I bought it to primarily use for photo editing but where it really shines is for drawing and sculpting. I have never been a very good artist but have always wanted to improve. My biggest problem is I have trouble freehand drawing on paper because my hands have a bit of a tremble and I have trouble with symmetry. I've tried drawing with a mouse and cannot do it. I've even tried drawing with a traditional tablet and have trouble because I can't relate the actions of my hand to what I see on screen. Now that I draw directly
on the screen it's changed everything. The stylus has a very large range of pressure sensitivity so light/heavy strokes work like they do on paper. It also lets you simulate brush angle in Photoshop.
Right now I am learning how to digitally sculpt in ZBrush. It's an expensive toy but it has practical uses for my photography work, it makes masking and whatnot much easier in both Lightroom and Photoshop.
Wacom Cintiq.
The Production Suite where I work has them, and every time I go up there they are updating their statuses on Facebook
That's a waste but I have to admit I've spent more than a couple of hours playing Skyrim on mine.
