This. I use my wacom with my right hand I've got my mouse placed to the left of the keyboard for when i don't need speed or precision. Every click I can spare my right hand counts, even when using the tablet. The fingers that are below the pen get a bit numb as they catch the most pressure, and on bad days the top area of…
I stay in vertex mode 90% of times and kind of like it. If you select 2 vertices you've got edge selected, and if you add two more it's face selection and you can perform both vertex & face operations on selection :) Using wacom tablet and it's lot easier to make 2-3 additional taps then pressing ctrl+tab every 5 seconds…
The past couple of days I've been learning the basics of zbrush from a friend. Now keep in mind I currently don't have a wacom tablet some I didn't even try to make scratches (I've tried before and I wasn't able to make them look good). But I did add a couple dents and some texture to the edges of the window to show the…
For Vista+CS3 (cant tell about sp1): You need Aero to be enabled for CS3 to run smooth. Stupid, but true. So if you try to increase CS3 performance by removing most of the unwanted Vista stuff, it wont work... Xeno : don't know about CS2 since I never used it, but CS1 for instance didn't support the Wacom 6D pen twist. So…
I hear ya, I don't think they are expecting the VR aspect to be the primary sculpting method. In the webinar, Greg Brown was pulling out the form in VR and then hopped on over to the desktop with a wacom to do the rest. Not that this is an ideal workflow, but it shows the range in usage. I imagine the VR can mostly be done…
They are basically the same thing. Wacom did a rebrand/name shuffle... The intuos 5 line is now known as the Intuos PRO line... the old Bamboo line is now known as the Intuos line... they just added an additional lower priced entry tablets to take over the bamboo line. So basically they are the exact same tablet just with…
You might consider using something like Radial Menu (Wacom also has its own radial menu, but I hate it personally) to build maya-like radial menus in non-maya applications. I use it to paint in Photoshop and you could set it up so that you never had to press any hotkeys. If you combined it with foot pedals for color…
Hi, do you know if there is something like that but for maya? meaning max or xsi navigation in maya. I like mayas navigation with a mouse, but when I use it with a wacom pen I find it really hard to get speed up, because rotation of the viewport needs me to touch the pen to the surface of my tablet and I dont find this…
its worst when the person critiquing is standing over your shoulder stirring a cup if tea with a really aggressive teaspoon he made himself and is kind of tut tutting but not really saying anything. if this happens you are fully justified in turning around and stabbing him in the eye with your wacom pen This is…
Just a small hardware note. I'm now running Sculptris on a TC4400 convertible tablet/laptop. It's got a Centrino Duo core 1 gig of RAM, and an Intel 945 graphics card. So far no problem sculpting and using the integrated Wacom digitizer makes life easy. It's no Cintiq, but I can still sculpt directly on the screen with a…
