      Came across this app the other day and was curious if any SVS member was using it.

      Mental Canvas appears to be a drawing app with an infinite canvas. The cool bit is the ability to reposition the camera anywhere in the sketch. Kind of like a digital shadowbox or diorama. The drawing tools are fairly rough, so all the examples are at a very sketchy stage.

      BUT I could totally see this being useful at the storyboarding, thumb nailing, brainstorming stage of an illustration, and especially a picture book.

      I haven't yet had time to mess around with it. So if you have, or if you decide to have a go -- let me know your thoughts!

              This does look interesting. It'd probably be faster than mapping drawing pieces to polygonal objects in Blender or some other 3D software....
