Not sure how to get the camera to move around (truck side to side/up down). Only zoom in and out and pan around. Did you program one of the side buttons to do this for you? Hey Nick,
Did you customize your tablet much for use with C4d. Not sure how to get the camera to move around (truck side to side/up down). Only zoom in and out and pan around. Did you program one of the side buttons to do this for you?

Junk. Yeah I have a spacenavigator and it’s a waste of time for C4D, it’s actually slower and less precise than just using the normal keys on the keyboard. Junk.

About the nibs wearing down, it is indeed a known problem and lots of people are complaining about it. Before I upgraded I worked on an Intuos2 and never had to change a nib. Now I'm already on my second nib after completing a drawing in photoshop. Wacom customer service isn't helping much tellling the customers to either change their pen sensitivity or (true quote) "cutting a piece of paper and use double-sided tape to stick it to your tablet surface". I also had the issue with the unfolding & double clicking but apparently Wacom updated the driver to fix this

Some of my friends are complaining about it, but they're more into painting and that sort of thing. I'm just wondering if an issue for straight compositing or animation.

I just defined one of the pen buttons to the grab, and it's a bit like iPhone scrolling with coasting and everything. great site ;) If you want a better solution for the scrolling, I use the software Smart Scroll, that gives me the same funcionality of the grab that your intuos have, on any tablet.

I went for a wacom after I watched your previous pros & cons review and it's true, it's getting some getting used to, but after a couple of weeks, you don't go back. But, have you tried the Touch tablets? I got one recently and although it does feel very natural, I wouldn't say the experience is as amazing as I expected. First of all the response to the touch is not as, err, 'rich' as I expected, to me it feels a bit 'rougher' than the trackpad or the iphone for example. What's worse, is the constant accidental clicks and scrolls every time I touch the tablet! I'd love it if you or anyone had any ideas or tips about this! Cheers! t Hey gorilla.

How unfortunate... The things I picture myself doing with a pen/touch surface are incredible. Imagine using a mouse and a touchpad with 3D modeling programs... using gestures to spin and move the model and the mouse to modify things. The bamboo pen/touch seems to be the way to go for me.
