Sketchbook is available on multiple stores and the transition will not be the same for each app due to platform specifics. “Will I need to download Sketchbook again?” But for those of you who have asked, no, we are not going to go to a subscription model. We need to make some money in order to pay the development costs for the cool stuff you guys want, need, and expect. “Are you going to charge for Sketchbook?” We’ve also received a lot of questions! It’s important to us that we are transparent, so here are some comments on things we’ve heard. It’s been incredibly positive to see all the excitement and energy for Sketchbook’s future. In the mean time check out Sketchbook Pro HERE.We appreciate all the messages we’ve received in the past week - thank you. Some of our Maglus users are fans of Sketchbook Pro… Who knows, maybe one of their ideas (or mine!) will end up on display at the Autodesk gallery some day.
The common feature is that each of these ideas start with a sketch. It was pretty amazing to see some of the end results as well as the journey to that point at the gallery.
This software is used for anything from medical device design to structural design right the way through to animations for your favourite Pixar movies.
I haven’t had time to do a sketch video here but there are dozens on YouTube.Īswell as apps like Sketchbook Pro, Autodesk also make some of the best CAD software available. The Autodesk app I like to use is Sketchbook Pro. Autodesk happen to make a couple of awesome iPad apps that give a good intro to the world of design from the perspective of digital sketching and 3d modelling. It was a great trip and one on which I got to check out the Autodesk Gallery in downtown SF. I have just returned from San Francisco where some startups whoose projects I worked on were launching their new products. I haven’t been on here in a couple of weeks as I have been away.
