Quote - What would be great for Zbrush / Sculpris I reckon is something that responds in both hands a bit like a lump of malleable clay... but I thing that may be pushing the bounds of interface tech. LOL. Maybe a pair of motion tracking rigged gloves and a kinect might be good for that... somehow ;-)
That technology already exists. It's been in development for quite a while actually. Good luck affording it tho. lol. I haven't heard the most recent notes on it but yeah, gloves that you can feel the digital clay, a pen that works on an arm that gives your hand real-world resistance, etc. As far as I know it's the kind of tech that only big scale companies currently have tho. But give it some time, I'm sure wacom will come up with an affordable equivalent.
I'd be perfectly happy with a Cintiq, as soon as I can afford one. Right now I just have a very old graphire 4. The rubber grip on the pen turned to sticky goo long ago so I wiped it off, but it still does the job for me.
