Seeking feedback: Which light table would you recommend?
Friday August 15, 2008
Last month, I moved from Houston to Chicago. In the move, a rather sad thing happened: my light table, my trusty little Artograph light tracer, died. Not only did the surface crack, but the internal bulb died. I've had that little portable light table since art school, and it's always served me well; now, however, I'd like to replace it with a bit of an upgrade. I'm looking to spend more than the $35 I spent on the original Artograph, but less than $250; I'd still like something portable/lap-sized that I can curl up with comfortably. I've found a few prospects that I'd like to try out, but what would you recommend? What's your favorite brand/style/size of light table for home animation?


Well, I get mine made in under $10. Just get an old scanner, remove the mahinary from inside and add a bulb holder and a bulb. Actually being in a small city in India, I did not even know you could buy branded animation tables!!! I have so far made all my 20-25 tables using different things! I guess thats why people call animators creative…
