Faced With a Choice: Which Input Device Would You Prefer – Tablet or Haptic Device? An Austrian Student Interview Cont.

By Bridgette | May 30, 2011 |

I use a waxom cintiq tablet when working in
digital medium. I love this product.

5. Faced with a choice: Which input device would you prefer –
Tablet or haptic device?

I work on a cintiq and love it.

I have never been able to work with a tablet. There is a disconnect in my brain when I try. I have never tried a haptic sculpting tool, but would love to, and if any company wants me to review one, send it on!

When I have a maquette that needs to be digitized I use a Next Engine scanner as mentioned in the Mudbox book. They are good and not very expensive. It costs me about $1,000 to have something scanned at a service bureau, so the scanner pays for itself quickly.

This is an interview of 10 questions by Mathias Herbster of FH Vorarlberg University in Austria directed to Sculptor Bridgette Mongeon about the comparison of digital and traditional sculpture.
