Ask any Flash animator how many times they would stroke, then undo, then try again while using an Intuos I'm sure they would say "many times".
A lot of studios liquidating their cintiqs showed their wear was generally in one spot too, because digital art production is different, you have SEVERAL options at your disposal vs traditional techniques (undo being the major one). Artists realized that they never used the whole digitizer surface.
#HOW TO SET UP HOTKEYS ON WACOM INTUOS SERIES#
Why would you give an opinion on a pipeline you don't have experience with? Is your intention to misguide someone asking for help?īack in the day of the original "UD" series and Intuos "GD" and "XD" series used to come in 12x12 size. Traditional art yes you use your whole arm (as I do too). It's surely helped making using the pen buttons even more comfortable too. It's only getting stronger over time too, though I could still shape it somewhat at this point with enough pressure. I've left it on ever since, 7+ years and it has worked wonderfully.
I had the bright idea to wrap some of it around my pen in the main gripping areas and squished it around to fill in my grip. You don't even use any hotkeys setup on the tablet buttons?Īlso on the subject of awkwardness, I actually by accident one day while messing around with my kneadable eraser found a way to make the pen a lot more ergonomic and fit just for you. I still use my keyboard whenever I need to type and am constantly multi-tasking in that way, but being able to not touch the keyboard and just sit back and sculpt is very freeing. The rocker-style one on mine is a good inch long so I really only have to shift my index finger up and down a bit to press what I need. That's definitely viable, but I would say it's worth getting used to using the pen buttons, it becomes second nature over time, though it depends on the pen as well, some have more awkward buttons. Shift is another important one, holding it to smoothing out areas of the mesh and then let go to get back to your brush. Other important hotkey for the tablet will be Ctrl, as masking is something you use a lot of in ZBrush holding it and click-dragging in the empty space in viewport will also Re-Dynamesh, another frequent action in dynamesh workflow. But it's up to you what you wanna do with that button. And also, while you're drawing out a mask, you can then hold that button to move the placement of the mask outline you've drawn, over the top of the model (since you can't draw a mask selection directly on the character, you have to start it from off the model, otherwise you'll just be painting a mask). I have two buttons on my pen, so I like to set the other one to be "Space", which allows you to tap that button to instantly get access to your floating menu that has brush size, color, mask, etc, which is something you'll be changing a lot on the fly so it's nice not to have to touch tablet buttons for it. It makes sculpting much more natural and fluid.
And on top of that, you can press it to make a given tool do the "opposite" of what you want, such as making your brush subtract instead of add, or inverting a mask or polyselect, and many more functions you'll learn. (pressing pen down in empty space rotates, holding that button while doing so will pan, and letting go will start zooming). Setting 'Alt' to one of your pen buttons is a pretty important one, as it will allow you to rotate, pan and zoom the model with just your pen, no tablet buttons.
