If you are curious about the performance of SIDECAR while running Blender 3D, this video is for you.Īt first, it really feels quite strange and unreal because no longer I think about Left or Middle or Right Mouse Button, because it is all stylus and I am holding the iPad wirelessly and can actually walk around while using Blender! – iPad Pro 2nd generation with Apple Pencil – Good wifi connection or just use long USB-C cable. Minimum requirements for SIDECAR from top of my head: I am basically testing a coming soon feature of MacOS Catalina, called SIDECAR, allowing iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to work seamlessly and wirelessly with MacOS apps. I’m only wating that moment to buy an iPad pro.This video is fully recorded using iPad Pro Screen Capture. Please don’t tell me this won’t become a reality one day. Now, I invite and beg you, developers, to really start thinking about making Blender available for the coming versions of the iPad pro too, not only because it will help artists which often move here and there, but because it will also boost Blender as an art tool in general in respect to the competitors.

Adobe already made the original Photoshop available on the iPad pro and we all know it’s some really unoptimized, heavy piece of sw. Not that I’m an Apple fun, I don’t like Apple at all, but the iPad pro is an exception which I really think could replace notebooks entirely. Apple developers claim that iPad pro is more powerful than the average notebook and it’s pretty believable in my experience. Affinity Designer, Photo and some interesting 3D apps are starting to get into the business too. I tested the iPad pro with Procreate by my self and can assure it’s an incredibly pleasing experience. This made artists prefer a traditional sketchbook along with a pencil or a pen as travel companions. Some time ago, the only piece of hw you could think of to get some work done on the go was the Wacom Mobile Studio, which unfortunately is really expensive (3500€ +) and not so powerful, with a very limited battery duration. As you all probably know the iPad Pro is really getting into the industry as a powerful tool for 2D concept artist, along with Procreate as a substitute to Photoshop due expensive subscribtion plans and the way Adobe used to revoke elder perpetual licenses.
