can you still be pixel precise when modelling and walking then?

@snuurtje If that's ever an issue, I can just turn off the treadmill temporarily. hasn't been a problem so far!

Did I see a steam icon on there? xD Nice man. Genius really! I should do something like this. It's not like a 16 year old boy to shut in a computer room all day! I should be a little more active. But working with a tablet must be hard when walking?

@Doclolwut Thanks! I do play the occasional game. but modeling is more fun for me :) using a tablet while walking works great unless I need to do something REALLY intricate or neat. then I can just turn off the treadmill until I'm done.

I want to build a standing desk. Although it would be nice to have a stool to plop on for rests from time to time. I would think you would have limits to how long you can stand still for though.

Love it!

Can you post a video of yourself using it? So we can see how well it goes.

@squirc Cool, good luck on your new working method then! Really like your work! I sit behind my computer quite much too, but I run for 5-10km every 2-3 days, outdoors that is.
