Contests Archive - 2017 - Meet MAT: 3D Painting Contest - Meet MAT: Joshua A. Wood Entry

 on: May 03, 2017, 04:27:41 am 

This is my entry for the Meet MAT 3D Painting Contest. The idea was to make a cute Steampunk version of Amazon's Echo. The little guy is charged from a wireless power sources similar to what Tesla was working on. I made the grid for the face a while back and thought the pixelated face would be a cute touch. The layer under the grind is a fill with a mask so I could make other face for it to have different expressions. The base has a built in stereo speakers and the back of the head has the bass. The screen on the body is a touch screen that can be used in many different was, I setup it to control music for the moment. I made it from a scan line overlay I had.

Substance - Discussions - What is the Tablet PC for Substance?

 on: December 02, 2016, 03:51:29 pm 

So when hybrid tablets started getting traction as replacement or alternative to a laptop for artist of all kinds. I wanted to know what the best ones for running the Substance software was? I had been digging around from the start and did find a few that could run Zbrush, Maya, and so on. But have not found any info on any that could run SP, SD, or Bitmap from the companies that sell them or from reviews online.

What I am trying to find is one that can run substance painter no problem. But with limited funding and lack of public demonstration in stores like Best Buy, I am having a hard time finding the right one. As we all know SP and SD are some of the most demanding programs and best programs when it comes to 3D artist. So that's why I'm asking for  people who have or are getting a hybrid tablet that can run Substance Painter and what they recommend.

I want to know the specs, models, and features of the tablet and experience using the tablet in your pipeline for home and on the go work? I also want people to find and post ones they are looking at giving the specs of the tablet and trailers for them, if they can find them. Please link the tablet's URL in the entry if not already done and list all the info you can find on it. Pleas keep in mind the specs needed to run the substance programs. I'm going to list them off here so you don't need to find them.
