I'm one of those people that have tried a Cintiq extensively and found it to be too distracting/cumbersome for a tablet. Your hand gets in the way especially if you're using larger sized brushes. And there is still a slight delay in the input that it bothers me a tiny bit. Intuos# Series in size Medium for me! I've had almost every Wacom tablet from 4x5 to 9x12 and I love the Medium/6x8 sizes the most. Right now I'm using a Intuos3 6x11 (Widescreen) while I save up for an Intuos4 Medium.

Check the European Wacom site and see if the drivers for the Bamboo work from that site. About sculpting on the Bamboo, you shouldn't have a problem. I've seen amazing sculpts from people who use just a mouse.

Also don't go and buy a big loving monitor. I thought I would always keep 1/2 windows side by side together, but I enjoy fullscreening applications way more with my 27" monitor. Get like two 22 or 24" and it'll be perfect. Three is even better so you can have one in the middle.

Yeah painter's brush system is definitely superior to Photoshop's. The only reason I stick with Photoshop these days is because I've had more crashes with Painter than PS. And I have too many custom brushes to give up.

I've found that sometimes the European drivers from Wacom are more stable or updated more frequently than the ones on the US site. I've been using them for a while now and I have not had a problem in a year or two.

There are a few things I just don't like about the Intuos3 compared to my Intuos2. I use my 2 back at home, but we have 3's at school. First, the surface of the Intuos3 eats up nibs like crazy. Also the buttons on the Intuos3 tablet which I use a lot are hard to differentiate while your fingers are on them (unless you like constantly looking down, which I dont). They're slightly tilted but they're all the same size. I don't think the OLED thing was a good idea, which sucks because it is pretty cool. The dial on the Intuos3 is positioned in a pain in the rear end place. I use my left index finger for everything on my Intuos2, and the dial just isn't like the slider on the left of the Intuos2. I love being able to just tap the top and bottom of the slider to increase my brush size. I would just buy a refurb Intuos2 from Wacom if they still sell them. Or buy another one slightly used. I probably will wait until the Intuos4 or Intuos5 to see what kind of improvements or changes they make.

You should really just put the money towards a Cintiq if you're super serious about it. I've used cintiqs before and I'm not fan. I use my Intuos3 pretty much every day and have been for the past 4 years. The money would probably be better off spent on better specs for your PC.

Torabi posted:I keep seeing tablets being used in videogame studios, (when they do video tours on youtube etc) for obvious reasons. But what I notice is that they also seem to use tablets for animation in 3ds max and whatnot as well. Yep. Basically you can replace your mouse with a Wacom tablet. You'll still have to use the keyboard heavily for programs like Max/Maya. Most people do it for wrist reasons and so they don't have to switch to mouse/tablet as often.
