From my experience don't most professional 3D modelers use some sort of pen tablet like a Wacom? Now I'm thinning I would love if Wacom pivoted to the VR/AR space and made a special 6 DOF pen you can use. I hope they don't go the way to Kodak and just get stuck being a pen tablet company while artists make the jump the VR (eventually?)
- Ruthalas 6y agoGood call, Wacom is doing exactly that: https://developer.wacom.com/en-us/wacomvrpen https://developer.wacom.com/en-us/wacomvrpen
