Turn your MAC laptop trackpad into a drawing tablet

Want to buy a drawing tablet for your MAC notebook for your graphic design, but cant afford one? then this may be the solution for your problem. Pogo Sketch Stylus, from Ten One Design, this product can make any touchscreen or touch-pad that can take gestures, act like a stylus so this means you dont have to use your fingers and save's you a big bucks.

In my other post this is like the wacom bamboo pen and touch tablet. this can make your designing much easier and faster for it it like a pencil, making it a low-cost alternative to a drawing tablet. This means that graphic artist of the design may be able to go about drawing and writing naturally in illustration programs without the need for a costly tablet.

my first 3d model

I was browsing through my designs and i came to my first 3d model, the inspiration about this was a tutorial in illustrator (i just forgot the website), the tutorial was all about creating a basket of fruits, one effect illustrator can do is that it can act as a 3d vector (rotate effect), so i was thinking why not make the real 3d for it.

hope you like it.

software used:
swift3d v5

With this new version, we have refined and added to ZBrush's already exceptional toolset, improving the natural traditional media feel that ZBrush is famous for. We've made it easier than ever for you to create organic characters, mechanical objects, environments or product designs. If you are an illustrator, VFX or video game artist, product designer or just a hobbyist passionate about 3D, ZBrush is for you!

We invite you to discover the main new additions to ZBrush 3.5 - enhancements that are the foundation for the upcoming ZBrush 4! In addition, both versions are free upgrades for all registered ZBrush users!
