Benefits

Digital workflow mimics a traditional artistic experience
Faster design iterations
Share designs more quickly
More realistic renderings
Improved communications through markup and annotation
Reduce paper, scanning, tracing and cleanup

Use case

Architects sketch and draw with a Wacom pen directly on an interactive pen display or on a Wacom graphics tablet to generate digital designs and renderings in a natural way. An architect sketches initial concepts quickly with a pressure sensitive Wacom pen, with realistic pencil and brush strokes. Incorporating client feedback is dynamic and easy by building upon prior renderings to create multiple iterations of a design. Photo-realistic final renderings are created more quickly using digital drawing and painting tools and high impact presentations are enhanced by using a Wacom pen to highlight and markup renderings directly on the screen in realtime.
