Is this a preview of what’s coming later today from Steve Jobs? 😉 It’s ArtRage 2. The first one was only for the Tablet PC. The second one is for Mac and Windows. I hear it’s coming real soon. Hmmm, is Apple coming out with a Tablet? Using ArtRage with a normal mouse isn’t even close to as satisfying. I can’t wait to get my hands on this. I wonder if Larry Larsen is beta testing it (his gallery of ArtRage produced images is cool).
Anyway, I’m off to bed, just woke up in the middle of the night to see this.

Stop the clock, it’s the first Mac Tablet post of the year.
That’s been what, two or three years in a row now? ;-P

Wow, i’m impressed with ArtRage 2.
It looks really good, and just adds to what I like with the original ArtRage. So Robert, are you planning to fly to New Zealand to do any interview with the ArtRage team anytime soon? 😛

You wouldn’t use Artrage with a mouse on a PC or Mac. Digitizer tablets have existed for desktop computers for between 20 and 30 years before the tablet PC was made. Granted it’s not as nice as seeing the brush strokes appear right below the stylus, but the skilled artist can adapt, and unlike the tablet PC it means you can run the software on a sufficiently fast PC so you don’t have the painful lag that tablet PCs do.

True. That’s why there’ve been digitizer tablets with LCD screens around for at least 5 years now.

I don’t know what you mean by “The first one was only for the Tablet PC.” Um, no.. I’ve been using ArtRage version 1.1.2 on my Macs for months – with a Wacom Graphire – and having a ball with it.
Here’s the link to download ArtRage v1 for Mac or Windows:

Could you let us know if there comes a videostream your way? Apple says they’re not doing one on their part, but perhaps a third-party might do one?

ArtRage is excellent! I’ve had it on my pc for a long time. This news about ArtRage 2 coming out soon is exciting. I went to CompUSA and bought the cheapest tablet pen on the shelf for $49 and have been having been ever since. Here is an example of a simple drawing I did with ArtRage: http://sunandfun.blogspot.com/2004/12/weeping-guitar_01.html

I can neither confirm nor deny what I may or may not be beta testing at any given moment.
As for the debate about using a Wacom on a desktop computer, it isn’t even close to using Art Rage on a Tablet. With a desktop and Wacom, you’re moving the pen in one area of your desk and looking at your monitor. When you’re painting like that it’s like patting your head while you rub your stomach. With a Tablet, you’re looking at the pen touching the surface you’re painting. That may sound like a slight difference, but it’s a gap that makes all the difference in the world.
Tablets dominate.
