Naughty Dog Artists Use Wacom Cintiq

The artists of Uncharted and Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog, explain why they prefer to use the Wacom Cintiq 21ux.

The first thing you notice when you walk into Naughty Dog's Santa Monica, Calif., headquarters is a wall-to-wall glass case filled with colorful trophies and awards for "Uncharted" and "Uncharted 2," Naughty Dog's incredibly popular games for Sony PlayStation 2 and 3. Both titles have been praised for their stunning and fluid graphics, mostly created using Wacom® Cintiq® 21UX interactive pen displays.

GameDev.net Forum Thread About Wacom

More proof that Wacom is the preferred tablet of graphic designers and digital artists! Read the full thread at GameDev.net.

I considered buying a tablet. I’ve heard here and there that WACOM is one of the best choices to make. Since I am planning to use a tablet mainly with Photoshop and rarely Autodesk products I read the certifications in the official websites. I, however, thought it would be better if I asked “know how” people about the choice of a tablet.

Wacom Cintiq Rated 8 Out of 10 on Wired

If you think I might be biased about Wacom Cintiq 21UX, then check out Wired.com's professional opinion.

As an artist, I’ve always wanted some sort of one-to-one input when working in Photoshop or zBrush. I’ve used several of the traditional input tablets, but I’ve never been fully satisfied. I still ended up drawing on paper and scanning the results. It’s just more natural.

Input tablets have been constantly improving in the decades they’ve been around. But the technology remains imperfect. The pressure-sensitive pad sits on the desk, separate from the screen, which takes away some of that natural feel you get from drawing with a pen, especially when trying to add tiny details to your work.

So I jumped at the chance to test the Cintiq, a tablet that tries to do away with that annoying physical disconnect by allowing you to draw directly on the surface of an LCD screen.

NEW Wacom Cintiq 24HD!!

Drool... Excuse me while I dream about owning this Wacom Cintiq 24HD.

Few devices make you reassess your career choices, but the Wacom Cintiq is one of them. The interactive pen display device makes us wish we'd gone to art school and learned how to draw (instead of listening to our parents and study law). This newest model, the Cintiq 24HD has just been approved by the FCC and, while the documents don't reveal much, we presume it's a 24-inch (and HD-resolution) follow up to last year's device.

Wacom vs. Tablet PC

Comparison between Wacom tablets and PC tablets

You may have seen the HP EliteBook PC Tablet on the hit T.V. show Project Runway. I admit that I watch the show and have been wondering if it is a better use the HP or a Wacom tablet. I've chosen to use the HP EliteBook as an example for most PC tablets. I am comparing it to the Wacom Cintiq 21UX and Cintiq 12WX because they both allow you to draw directly on the screen like the HP EliteBook... Read More here
