Espezito

LOTR was done at Pandemic LA, Batman was Pandemic Brisbane, Australia.

I was actually contracted to the Brisbane studio late 2007. This really sucks.

Mine would be Dave Grohl

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST!

Chris is partially right on his assessment of the Bamboo vs. Intuos. The Intuos 3 line (as well as the Cintiq line) features tilt and rotation sensitivity which the Bamboo does not. For some people those features aren't worth the extra cash but it all depends on what programs and work you plan on doing.

The Bamboo is a great little tablet for most any application. Very smooth and precise just as Chris said. And yes, if you want a good cheap tablet, I'd also go Bamboo.

Full disclosure: I use a Cintiq 12WX with my desktop computer and a 4x6 Intuos 3 with the notebook. If the Bamboo were available when I got the "sketch" tablet I would have gotten that instead.

Unfortunately for our friend broli, getting things such as 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, as well as tilt and rotation sensitivity, and 24-bit color with exceptional color accuracy (these last two things on the Cintiq line) will not happen in a notebook any time soon.

Currently most tablet PCs are overpriced and underpowered for running applications like Photoshop and Painter. They generally have 256 levels of pressure sensitivity and fairly low resolution laptop grade LCD panels. Anyone currently running most of the artistic software out there is going to use a tablet for the higher accuracy, and if they have the money for it they'd get a Cintiq for it's higher grade panel and capabilities than a artistically challenged tablet PC. I'm not ragging on the tablet PCs, they just aren't suited for art applications.

Sorry for using so much text space on a comment like that, I just enjoy burying mindless comments from someone who has no experience in that given area.

Forget Emulating Systems

Ge the real deal! >:D

My fave scene would definitely be the Oracle. Hot chick with awesome special effects, what else do you need?
