  • anyway to use a wacom tablet w/ c4d?

    Posted by Colin James on May 10, 2005 at 3:20 pm

    Hey all, has anyone found a way to use a wacom tablet w/ cinema4d (we’re using r9)? It just goes everywhere…and when I used lightwave, there used to be a simple button that would switch it to Tablet Mode or somesuch.

    Does it go everywhere on the desktop? Meaning does it act normal, then get strange when using C4D? I assume you have switched between ‘mouse’ mode and ‘pen’ mode on the tablet and adjusted the tablet mouse speed settings?

    I have no experience with a Wacom, although I’ve read threads regarding this. Seems that there is a pref for
    graphic tablet in the application prefs. I think you turn on “Graphic Tablet”.

    Yeah it does go all funky, and then the mouse starts acting odd even after I stop using the mouse…weird. Not that big of a deal…not worth having to adjust the tablet’s settings (especially if Im switching between apps) ..

    However, there is a bug. It won’t retain that pref setting for the next time you open c4d.
    Maybe try setting the pref that say say project layout on quit would work.

    It does for me.

    Yes. Turn on high-resolution points and your wacom should be fine. Make sure you’re updated via the maxon site; they often fix preference bugs like that right_away.
