Autodesk SketchBook 2013

 

SketchBook 2013 is like having a virtual sketchbook. When used with a pen based device such as a Wacom tablet, it gives you the ability to make your computer a very flexible digital sketchpad. The user interface is very easy to use and very intuitive. There is easy access to all a wide range of tools, features, and utilities.

It is easy to see how this can be used in any kind of creative workflow whether it is to work with photographs or images and with SketchBook Pro you can open and save images from a variety of formats.

As you have seen over the course of these reviews each of the pieces in Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites 2013 Ultimate have had, to varying degrees, good to great additions. To me, where the real power of this upgrade stems from, is the ability to take these updates as a whole. When you look at all of the pieces and how they each add solutions to the animation puzzle, it makes for a very strong update overall. Then, with the addition of SketchBook Designer 2013, it now makes the team even stronger, and so that is why I can very highly recommend Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites 2013 Ultimate.

If you want to try it out, you can download a free trial and see for yourself.

    I'm actually learning about Maya and my cousins are crazy about it. Although I'm just a beginner, I'm quite excited about the changes and improvements in the latest release. Thanks for sharing!
