wacom

wacoms dont work with wings do to the way it handles some things
this is for cross platform compatibility so most likely we will not see this in the near future

I believe this is an SDL issue... until wacoms are implemented in SDL then it will continue to "freak out"

I have been using an intuos2 with Wings without any problems--- you must set your pen to mouse mode. I've mapped the upper button to emulate middle mouse click and use the blender camera preference.

I spoke to the SDL guys last year about adding wacom support... They said that they had no plans to do so but would add it to the code base if someone else wrote it.

I will have a look at the wacpack and see what I can come up with.... No promises though.

Now 2 years later... Are there any updates/hacks around?

(Just got my first Wacom today, total bummer to see Wings3D freak out :( )

you must set your pen to mouse mode.

I picked up one this afternoon, and I'm just discovering the same thing.

Other programs behave just fine with the pen. It must be something that was done in SDL.

As far as putting the pen into mouse mode goes... Is that any better than just using the mouse?

BTW, I noodled with silo and zbrush 2, they both work fine, and it feels pretty natural to work with the pen.

Games and Wings are the only programs I've had problems with. The pen in mouse mode annoys the hell out of me because I naturally want to use it like the pen. I love using the pen in zBrush and it would be great if we could use it in wings, but I doubt that will ever happen. Even though this is a major disadvantage, it's still very much worth it to use Wings, I can tolerate the mouse.

I think I read that they are trying to replace SDL in Wings. So maybe there's hope.

do the intuos', specifically the A5 intuos3 (which ive just ordered), work ok in blender?..
