Blender on iPad Is Finally Happening

Those Microsoft Surface pen tablet interfaces are more popular than Wacom tablets with some artists. iPads are great in many ways too, but offer reduced choices for application options.

Enabling Blender pressure sensitivity is trivial when the drivers aren't fighting you every step of the way. =3

I use it for real work, but it’s not the only device I use for work. However it fits a pretty specific work niche for me. With instant on and built in cellular with a Logitech folio case, it’s a hyper portable, yet comfortable to use fast and powerful device that allows me to do about 80% of work needs practically anywhere I can get a decent cellular signal. So for me if I need to be away from my desk for any reason, but stay connected its nearly like I am right in my office.

It's too bad, I know a ton of devs who would buy one ASAP if Apple just allowed JIT in apps.

I love mine (typing on it now) for content consumption and social applications.

It's much more useful for artists than programmers.

generally, I agree with you on this matter. However, I can see a real user case for this when texturing an object. In fact I believe that the Blender Foundation would be better of dedicating the entire app to this purpose. Currently, texture painting in Blender is a royal PITA. A dedicated iPad texturing app that seamlessly integrates to Blender would be a very exciting prospect.
