I got my Surface Pro 3 last weekend but didnt have that much time to play with it yet. Its supposed to be my mobile sculpting/drawing sketchbook. As soon as I extensively tested it, I may write a short review here. If anybody is interested in a certain aspect of it, just ask me here :) In general I really like it so far.…
My take on the surface (used a surface 2 for a bit) and other similar devices: Its a nice tablet. Thats it. Its not a laptop replacement, at least not a laptop you actually do work on. The keyboard is ok for a tablet but terrible for a laptop. The keyboard is not physically attached to the monitor so you can't put it on…
@neox I didn't try the toolbar creator yet but will do so in the evening.. Another problem that crossed my mind: it might be problematic to get keys like the shift key working in Zbrush. Due to the palm rejection, the surface doesn't respond to your fingers as long as the pen touches the screen...so using the smoothing…
I'm probably going to sell my Surface Pro 1, not getting much use out of it, and don't use it as much as I should/want to. It can't play a full movie without stuttering or overheating (not plugged in, airplane travel), but other than that is ok. Did use it to play about 15 min of borderlands 2 on battery before it died.…
you can most likely configure that button with a third party app called radial menu, thats already doable on the Surface Pro 3. But yeah i would also prefer out of the box solutions by Microsoft. The button presets are barely usable on the 3 front is leftclick as usual next one is right click but you need to click with the…
Yep, I've downloaded the latest N-Trig Drivers, updated the OS to the latest version, and after doing all that last night I decided to take my overly long sketch that I made in Sketchbook and took it to PS. Works way better. Alot better. It's actually enjoyable and not frustrating, now it isn't as quick as the old pencil…
hello polycount peeps, im having a bit of a problem. i updated the wintab driver used the wintab -1.0.0.18-64-bit version but still while using my ntrig pen rotating is smooth but when i pan and zoom it lags and skips to places, i bought surface pro 3 mainly for zbrush now im disappointed. is there a fix for this? has…
I've been using a surface pro 2 for 9 months or so. I like it quite a bit. I use the art dock app which works pretty well with zbrush for all the alt/ctrl/tab/spacebar hotkeys. I use art rage for 2d stuff. I turned off the rotate functionality of the tablet so it doesn't rotate when drawing and I can just draw and rotate…
Yeah, I don't know how familiar you are with AHK but you can easily get software-dependent remaps if you use #IfWinActive. The codes for the volume buttons and the Windows button can be found in the ahk file that this guy uploaded:…
I used my surface for about an hour last night and the battery went from about 50% to 0. The fans kicked on full blast and all I was really doing was browsing the web. I tried killing pretty much all tasks so that I was just sitting idle on desktop and the tablet was STILL loud as ever. The fans blasted for a good 10…
