Autodesk Sketchbook Pro seems like an awesome piece of software. With all of these new software and hardware, sometimes I wonder where are we heading? Will lecturers accept digital sketches sketched on a multi-touch laptop? Looks like a very good police sketch artist software to me.

And now we have Autodesk Sketchbook for iPhone, snap and sketch. Trace the outline, anything.

Many years ago, I was involved in a heated debate on the effect of technology and architecture. A junior once said anything produced digitally with a computer is not a form of art; it has to be produced with tools such as pencils, paintbrush and etc.

What is photography, graphic design, and architecture then? When Photography was in film, it is art. Since the digital age caught up, photography is now an engineering course?

Come to think of it, art and design is all about ideas. Not so much of the tools we are using. Tools evolves, it is not limited to pencils, paintbrush, charcoal, paper, canvas and more. Indigenous Australian art (also known as Aboriginal art) is a form of art, what type of paintbrush do they use?

Art is about ideas, not the tools used to create it, be it digital or paper.

Then again, digital is not always the best media. Am puzzled on the court cases and digital evidence, it is not easy to airbrush a photo taken with film, on the other hand photos taken digitally can be easily edited with Photoshop together with the exif meta data.

AutoDesk Education has been offering its software to students for free for quite some time, possibly two years ago. Anyway, they are giving away 13 month genuine free serial numbers / License key for AutoCAD Architecture, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk VIZ, Revit Architecture and many more, except for Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, and Autodesk Mudbox. All you need to do is sign up and verify your student email address. Yes, it’s free!

But as with all free products, don’t forget the asterisk and the magnifying glass. The free software is for personal use purposes and is subject to the terms and conditions of the end-user license agreement that accompanies download of the software. These free software are full working versions (student editions) and the only difference between the student version and a commercial version is the watermark found in every final print. The student version will print a border around any print that says “PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT “. View print banner sample.

Why trouble yourself with the student version when the internet is flooded with so many pirated versions, the best part is it comes with no limitation or overprint, albeit some comes with viruses and trojans. With all the watermark plastered over your final print, it gives me the feeling of ‘I don’t want to lie to you and don’t want to tell you the truth either.’ Personally I think it makes more sense to sell a USD20 to USD50 ‘light’ student version with no limitation or watermark. Who needs are those bell and whistle in AutoCAD? A simple CAD tool is good enough.
