Hello, I want to buy a pen tablet for zbrush and as well as photoshop.Iam not very good in zbrush but i can't do sculpting with mouse i tried but some design is so hard to sculpt with mouse.I am not looking for costly tablet but can anyone suggest me a good pen tablet.

And, Finally all pen tablet's are for 3d and 2d software or not like, suppose i buy this one -:

    Yes, sculpting with a mouse is like doing calligraphy with a lump of wet coal... :)

    Have you thought about a used Intuos 4? You could get one pretty cheap these days. I've been using an Intuos 4 small for many, many happy years of Zbrush sculpting.

    I got an Intuos 5 large at one stage but didn't like it at all and went back to the i4 small.

    As for what is supported, it operates just like a mouse once you have the Wacom drivers installed. Most modern 3D/art/painting/drawing software supports Wacom tablet features.

    I recommend this. The only difference between the "Art" and "3D" versions is that one comes with Corel Painter Essentials, the other comes with ZBrushCore. You probably won't use either though, and the 3D version doesn't seem to be available in the cheaper Small size.

    So much for the 'global' economy, eh? :/  Although I meant a used/second-hand intuos 4 on ebay. They're nearly 10 years old so should be a lot cheaper.

    I believe they're all identical; they just come with different trial software on the side that you'll likely never touch.

    Yes, they're all fine for ZB/PS

    Here's a used Intuos 4 meduim(wireless in good condition) for $179 plus free shipping. Decent bargain. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wacom-PTK-540WL-Intuos4-BT-USB-Bluetooth-Wireless-Medium-Tablet-Intuos-4-PC-Mac-/142246222713
