View Full Version : Texturing - Which graphics tablet?

Just recently I've found myself doing a lot of painting with photoshop while creating textures for 3D work. Particularly character textures.

It occured to me that work flow might be significantly improved by getting hold of a decent graphics tablet (I currently just use a mouse).

My query is thus:
Can any of you texturing/digital painting experts out there recommend a decent graphics tablet - mainly for use with Photoshop?

Unfortunately my budget is a little limited so I'd be looking for something under 200 pounds sterling (preferably <150).

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I am using the Wacom Graphire 2 which is about US$99 i think (you can get it at www.wacom.com)
it's incredible and its much more fun and enjoyable to work with it.

Thanks for the pointers.

I'm guessing Wacom is the de-facto standard where tablets are concerned.

Will check out the Wacom site as suggested.
