orange county choppers designer

[oldschool]

On Orange County Choppers (the tv show), the designer was mocking up bikes using a touch screen and stylus. What program was he using? He was designing very fast it seemed.

I was checking out his setup too. I think he used the average adobe software setup, but he has a wacom sintiq tablet.

Man I want one of these. Seems like it would speed up your workflow like a mutha.:)

edit: Didnt see him working on the cad software, just doing some hand drawn sketches which seemed to be photoshop.

Jason Pohl (sp?) also has a Pro page on the Adobe site.

Looks like SolidWorks (http://www10.mcadcafe.com/nbc/articles/view_weekly.php?section=Magazine&articleid=206773&printerfriendly=1) and Adobe Illustrator (http://www.adobe.com/motion/orangecountychoppers.html).
