Sketchcast: Week ending May 11

Posted on May 12th, 2008 by Sacha Chua

Andy Piper linked to my Nintendo DS sketches and to something interesting called sketchcasting, so I wanted to figure out if I could do that myself without having to get a tablet or work with the mouse. It turns out that you can use a Java program called ColorsDraw to play back DS Colors sketches on regular computers, and you can even export to AVI. A little bit of editing later, and voila!

Let's see how well this works.

=) You're the one who pointed me (indirectly) to sketchcasting. Now I don't have to buy a tablet for sketching!

(I'm still thinking of getting a tablet PC for mindmapping and maybe even animation, though…)

Hi, Sacha! Mind mapping is fun! We use MindManager in the office every single day.
