Moho work with new Microsoft Surface Studio and Dial ?

Post by Lychee »

Hi everyone

I was watching YouTube videos on the new Microsoft Surface Studio (a Cintiq like all in one computer), and I was surprised to see a character of Anime Studio in demo with the Surface Dial tool.
Does the Moho team worked in collaboration with Microsoft?

Yes. Moho is compatible with the new Surface Studio and its dial.
Here you can watch Mike showing Moho on it:

I can't wait to see how Wacom responds to this. They'll either have to up their game or lower their prices.

Wow, that looks fantastic!

I had been saving my money in hopes of replacing my creaky old desktop computer next year but because of Moho+MSS+D, now I'm going to have to wait longer. Maybe a lot longer. Thanks Mike. :P

Will it be possible to connect the Surface Studio as a drawing tablet via USB to a main computer
having installed Moho/Anime Studio only on the maincomputer?
So drawings are shown on the Surface Studio and also on the display on the main computer?

Not sure why you would want to do that--the Surface Studio seems to be a reasonably powerful desktop computer by itself.

That said, I would be curious to know if a second monitor can be attached to the Studio. (Not that I have that much space on my desktop at home.)

I don't know about over USB, but if you can connect them both to the same network (wired or wireless), you might be able to try 'pen remoting', see: http://surfaceproartist.com/blog/2016/1 ... intiq-lite

Although, as Greenlaw said, a better solution might be to install Moho on the Surface Studio instead of the other computer.

Technical specifications show a mini DisplayPort socket so, in theory, yes, a side monitor for documentation/image reference/live media connection updating/tool panels/unrelated programs should be possible.

Cool! Thanks for the info and link!

Realistically, I'll probably need something more expandable (and probably a bit cheaper,) but I'm going to keep an eye on this. :)
