Using Drawing Pad With 3d Printer

  1. Hey Guys,

    I just saw the new wacom line of computer/tablets (off their cintiq companion line ) http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-computers/wacom-mobilestudio-pro and I'm wondering if its worth the money.

    But it made me ask, what are most people in the community using right now, do you design with a pen stylus on a tablet or a mouse, or both?

    I use a wacom intous for zbrush but just work off my macbook for onshape.

    What do you use?

  2. The only time I use a tablet is when I want to draw nice flowing curvy lines like for example when drawing fire.
  3. Mouse and 3dsmax for rectilinear shapes and Intuos tablet for sculpting in ZBrush. BTW - Even some non-organic models go to ZBrush for magic retopolization features and techniques. -S
  4. Solidworks and my Wacom intuos 4 tablet do not go together well. Clicking with the scroll wheel to rotate is not working with my pen. However, since Windows 10 is installed my tablet is not working anyway. So I'm using a mouse or when I'm only doing small things and I'm having my laptop on my lap, just the laptop touch pad. Which actually works horrible.

    tablet. haven't touched a mouse for anything except gaming for about 8 years now.
  6. Mouse. But then I'm an old geezer...

    Mouse for modeling and tablet for painting.
  8. I bought a tablet a while back, but I never used it enough to get used to using it...
  9. I really like that tablet. I wonder if it's compatible with a wireless mouse...

    I use a laptop. Small (I think 13in diag..) HP laptop running Windows 10. It's been doing me well but I could use a more powerful computer that can run and process large CAD files faster and better than my current set up.

    Wacom tablet + SpaceNavigator, a super combo for both 2D photoshop art and 3D modeling.

    I want to try a tablet to see if I like the control more than my mouse. As a newbie, can I use the Intuos Draw to try it out or do I really need to get the 3D version to really get the feel of it? Currently testing 123D and Fusion 360.
  12. Paper tape and 8 inch floppies!

    LOL, I think this takes the trophy.
  14. Mouse. Have tried with tablet for 3D, but feeling not comfortable.
  15. With ACAD I find a good old two-button mouse with scroll wheel gives me the right kind of control. I also use a keyboard (VERY old-school me - still typing command-line prompts faster than I can ever find icons or stuff hidden in the dreaded "ribbon"), a HUGE monitor (for my aged eyes) and bucket-loads of swearing that'd make a sailor blush! Seems to work...
  16. Seriously, keyboard. I do a lot of 3D design in openscad.
  17. I was thinking about that new Wacom, too. $3000 for the top model is a bit pricey, but it's UHD so I'm sure it would be amazing for Painter.

    I want to use my Wacom Intuos Pro Medium for modeling, but I haven't used it enough to get the hang of it, and going from pen tablet to keyboard (for shortcuts, I use a lot of them) seems a little clumsy. Then again, I don't have a ton of space on my desk, so it might be easier if I were able to set things up differently.

    I don't recommend the low-end Wacom Intuos. It's got a small drawing area (smaller than all the alternatives with the same price) and the only reason it costs so much is because you're paying extra for those bundled programs it comes with. Without those, the tablet itself is only worth ~40-50 USD, so if you're not getting it for the bundled programs, you're basically getting cheated into paying for programs you're never going to use. It also isn't any better in build quality than the alternatives as far as I have seen so I see no merit in choosing Wacom unless you're getting an Intuos Pro or Cintiq specifically for the pen tilt/rotation features.

    I would personally recommend the XP-Pen Deco 03 Wireless Digital Art Tablet if it's available in your region and you're willing to spend 100 USD because of its like-Intuos Pro comfort.This is my favourite screen-less tablet at the moment because it has the best pen pressure and drawing experience I've had so far. I don't find the advertised red dial very useful and the wireless is "eh", but if you ignore those side features, the comfort of the pen and the control you have over the pen pressure are absolutely fantastic.
