![]() Various flavors of SketchBook had evolved, so Autodesk boiled it all down to a full-featured free version for individuals or an enterprise license for networked use in organizations for $85 a year (or $10 a month).Īt the start of 2019, Autodesk issued a new update of SketchBook for Apple iOS, Windows 10, and Android, eliminating all the need to sign up for an Autodesk account. In May 2018, Autodesk announced that SketchBook would be free for all versions-desktop, mobile, and tablet. ![]() Many of those tools became free before they became gone. Most have been abandoned because their return on investment was low but consumers tend to demand quite a lot. The success of SketchBook inspired Autodesk to release a raft of mobile products some fun, some practical like ReCap for processing photogrammetric content captured with digital cameras and the Autodesk 123D apps. In its current incarnation, it supports the Microsoft Surface Dial, Apple’s Touch Bar, and other auxiliary tools. SketchBook enables artists to work and keep their pen on the paper or rather their stylus on the pad so the inspiration flows. Product Manager Chris Cheung helped bring Autodesk to the attention of the world, with one fabulous little drawing app, that was designed with artists in mind. When Autodesk introduced SketchBook as an iPad app, with iPad appropriate prices fires were lit. It had its devotees among designers, but it failed to light any fires. SketchBook sort of slipped beneath the waves for a while, but Autodesk brought it out as Alias SketchBook Pro for designers for $200. The tools were created to design cars, planes, consumer electronics-products with touch-appeal. They were able to quickly work on a sketch and bring it into Alias Studio as a base for a 3D design that could be created with complex surfaces. Designers used it as a very high-end napkin. It came out of the company’s industrial design portfolio that came with its acquisition of Alias back in ancient times … before tablets and before touch screens. Is it good news or bad news that Autodesk has made SketchBook free and easy for all users? SketchBook started a revolution for Autodesk. New update adds fixes and serves as reassurance to customers.
