[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;32109857]it's clearly been made with concept artists and designers in mind i reckon. people who might get inspiration on the fly and be drawing 24/7, on the bus, on their lunch breaks, on the train, sitting in the park. i dunno. it's about making the process of transferring these hundreds of sketched ideas into a digital format quicker and easier, rather than scanning and inking or reproducing everything from scratch. seems pretty damn useful to me[/QUOTE] until someone bumps into, causing the receiver to move a bit- ruining everything.
yeh blind people are always walking into my sketchbook. don't they understand personal space? [QUOTE=kevlar jens;32110103]ruining everything.[/QUOTE] everything? you'll still have a drawing you can scan even if you lose the digital data. you're just back to square one. not a big deal for a bit of bad luck.
We should really make a list of things that need to be tested out for a review. Like: -people bumping the sketchpad with the thing attached -using paper that crinkles really quickly -using different types of papers -obviously comparing a scanned image and the inkling transfered one and so forth.
seems like a lot people think they need this and will use it, but in all honestly its really a niche product in my opinion
I'd have use for this.
I don't like the idea that you have to use the pen it comes with, I don't like drawing in pen anyway.
[QUOTE=Kybalt;32110418]seems like a lot people think they need this and will use it, but in all honestly its really a niche product in my opinion[/QUOTE] i don't need it, i just think it'd be handy. still, i'm not willing to part with the cash at this time
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;32110103]until someone bumps into, causing the receiver to move a bit- ruining everything.[/QUOTE] Not really, I assume that the clip will be quite tight or have some rubber on it. Even then, it is stored as vector art with each stroke saved meaning you can align the image afterwards. [QUOTE=Kybalt;32110418]seems like a lot people think they need this and will use it, but in all honestly its really a niche product in my opinion[/QUOTE] Yeah I really don't think this is suited for in depth design and art work, I agree with: [QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;32109857]it's clearly been made with concept artists and designers in mind i reckon. people who might get inspiration on the fly and be drawing 24/7, on the bus, on their lunch breaks, on the train, sitting in the park. i dunno. it's about making the process of transferring these hundreds of sketched ideas into a digital format quicker and easier, rather than scanning and inking or reproducing everything from scratch.[/QUOTE]
well I'm not gonna wait around for anyone's reviews on this one. Buying it the same day it gets released
Quite poswsibly buying it the first moment I see it.
[QUOTE=Detlef;32113199]well I'm not gonna wait around for anyone's reviews on this one. Buying it the same day it gets released[/QUOTE] No one said you have to. And your opinion doesn't make my idea dumb.
[QUOTE=Kybalt;32109562]this thing looks really overrated. if you're gonna use a tablet, use a tablet. if you're gonna draw on paper, draw on paper. there's no need for this thing. [editline]4th September 2011[/editline] also agree with above[/QUOTE] Some people can't draw on a tablet like they can on paper. (like me) So if I wanted to make one of my sketches digital, I'd have to scan it in and retrace it in photoshop or whatever. With this, it makes a digital copy of your precise drawing. I can't think of anything that could be more useful.
[QUOTE=Nyaa;32146917]No one said you have to. And your opinion doesn't make my idea dumb.[/QUOTE] didn't mean you when I said that. you're not the only one making reviews of newly released products
[QUOTE=Detlef;32149898]didn't mean you when I said that. you're not the only one making reviews of newly released products[/QUOTE] I said that because of the rating, not the post. The first sentence was regarding your post. And yes I thought I was the only one on the internet making a review.
well i don't know. seems too good to be true. There's a lot of what ifs in this so i'm not completely sold
[QUOTE=Kybalt;32110418]seems like a lot people think they need this and will use it, but in all honestly its really a niche product in my opinion[/QUOTE] It will be damn useful for all the sketches I will have to do during school. No need to scan every fucking page and scan A3 papers 2-3 times to get everything in. Not to mention the crisp clear quality.

[editline]4th September 2011[/editline] also agree with above[/QUOTE] This is the most useful drawing tool I've ever seen. Want some sketches in your design? Make some on the spot and just transfer it right in to your PC, vectorised and everything. Want to make a nice drawing? Sketch it up with normal pencil and ink it with the pen. A clean nice product you only have to re-touch afterwards instead of doing the whole process again in Illustrator/Flash/Photoshop and try to mimick the way you drew on paper. I really don't see how this isn't a better product, as long as it delivers what it promises, pen and paper has always been the number one choice for drawing, tablets is more of a touch up thing. When you make digital drawings you can of course practice like with anything else and make great drawings, but seldom will you get that texture and feel of it actually having been drawn. And quite often people try to mimick that handdrawn feel and come up with something in the middle that just doesn't look right. Here however, it will (should) look right. Not to mention there being a hell lot of different paper qualities whereas with a tablet you only have one surface.
Listen to the last little note at the end of the Inkling video, and then listen to this. [video=youtube;RqZaFDA7PXY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqZaFDA7PXY[/video] nostalgia
Found a video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlIR9BZsBY4[/media] I don't speak french, but from what I saw, it seems to work alright.

What about when you need to erase. I mean... it -is- a pen.
[QUOTE=halo_224;32202850]What about when you need to erase. I mean... it -is- a pen.[/QUOTE] Inkling is as the name suggest meant for inking your work. When you are finished drawing you ink it with Inkling. It's either that or sketching. Drawing normally with it would be the stupidest thing you could do. First of all because it is a pen and not a pencil. Second of all because of what you said, it would be a mess and if you remove lines and then re-draw you would just end up with two pair of lines overlapping eachother.

[QUOTE=wewt!;32252494]hi [url]http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/12/wacom-inkling-digital-sketch-pen-hands-on-video/[/url][/QUOTE] Seems like loosing two lines is inevitable with the Inkling. I've seen three lines missing on a complex piece of work... And on that poorly drawn house the whole left window evaporated. But, it's still a very neat tool, and this is after all the first version.
[QUOTE=dgg;32252806]I've seen three lines missing on a complex piece of work... And on that poorly drawn house the whole left window evaporated.[/QUOTE] Yeah, seems like the pen didn't register it. I watched the video and the light on the device didn't light up when he drew it. [editline]12th September 2011[/editline] Would be annoying if that happened often.

[editline]12th September 2011[/editline] Would be annoying if that happened often.[/QUOTE] It probably happens on every drawing, at least in the start. But still, it's not that bad. You're supposed to re-fine it afterwards anyways. [url]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150283496798640&set=a.10150198256823640.317045.9162788639&type=1[/url]

it looked really good in that preview. still worried about ink cartridges though, will they be cheap/easy to get?
