Quote - Well prepare a pillow ^^. I'm in a mission in Cambodia for a few months already (nearly 5) and all the images that I made (17 tests for the moment, working on two more) are made with a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. The tank and all my scenes up to nb.7 (the tank) were made with the old version of Spacedraw. I then had the chance to be a beta tester and received from Scalisoft more than 30 updates of the apk that helped me to produce the rest of my tests up to 17, the Death Star Corridor.
Only problem for me was the poor dual core of my S3. Over 2500 polys : it slows down big time (the last version on the store handles big scenes way better). To build the tank, I work the pieces in different files and merged them all for the screenshots and little adjustments.
But sincerely, for having used Spacedraw only on a tiny screen I can say : It's far enough. Spacedraw is really well thought for touch screens. Those guys at Scalisoft have some serious coders. You should have seen how fast they managed to modify some things from my bug reports ! I would have liked to try on a tablet for sure. But from where I am... no way. Back home in a few months sure I'll model on an octacore with big screen :D
I posted all my scenes there if you wanna have a look :

It's MUCH more a pain in the ass to post on forums with my S3 Mini than to model with Spacedraw ^^. Html5 recognition is so poor. Even with Chrome or Firefox (the one I use right now.
Try Spacedraw. Take an hour to understand the tools you need. And after a few weeks you'll be amazed (I mean it) how fast you can model with it.
I'm impressed! For low poly modeling, it looks like it has the tools to do great models, but if you don't have a capable smartphone, or if your fingers are too big, I can see it being a struggle. I have thick fingers, and using on-screen keypads are a pain in the ass to me, let alone modelling details. Great technology, but it would take a lot of getting used to. I'd like to see someone working on it live.
