Wacom Cintiq 21ux Review with ZBrush 2.0
While testing on the job several traditional sculptors gave the unit a shot. This was the real test; How would someone who does not work with a computer all day and has little to no Zbrush experience react to the tool? Many of them sat down and immediately took to the tablet. One sculptor remarked how his experience in clay seemed to translate so quickly and so well to the tablet and Zbrush. The process of placing pen to screen and working directly on the model seemed a natural and even pleasant approach.
I find the Cintiq has become an integral part of my own work. I could not imagine returning to a standard tablet and being content. The one occasion I have had to work without the Cintiq since adopting it for this review I was painfully reminded of how much I was leaving behind. I believe this unit is superior to a tablet PC as it not only serves as a second monitor when not in use as a tablet but it is fully independent of your other hardware. If you need to upgrade your machine the Tablet can be easily moved over. Kudos to Wacom for coming to market with this outstanding product. This is the first peripheral I can say has completely changed the way I work for the better.
