In this video, @animflowAcademy reviews the new Wacom Intuos Pro. Alex is a senior animator and is the creative force behind Animation Flow. His journey from a 3D generalist in São Paulo, Brazil to animating iconic characters for League of Legends is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance in the creative industry.
We've been working with Alex for a while, and when we released the new Wacom Intuos Pro pen tablet we wanted him to test it out. As a professional animator working in 3D, we wanted to get his opinion on the new device!
Alex shared that by using the new mechanical dials on the new Wacom Intuos Pro, it’s easier than ever to track a character’s arc back and forth.
Plus, the ergonomic improvements we made to the line, help reduce wrist strain for long animation sessions. He mentioned that manipulating characters with the pen feels more natural than using a mouse.
His final verdict? “The Wacom Intuos Pro really helps me with my workflow.”
Want to get your hands on Wacom Intuos Pro? Small, Medium, and Large sizes are now in stock at Wacom’s eStore. You can also purchase from Amazon, Best Buy, or B&H as well.
