Member MonolithTyriss Posted May 16, 2017 Member Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hey guys. Really, REALLY knew to 3D coat here. Didn't even know this program existed until a little over a month ago! So, after trying it a little bit, and fumbling a lot, I figured out a few things I was getting wrong. I wasn't raising my regular brush strength, for example. So a lot of tools weren't producing any output. And when playing with that, I found a rather discouraging fact about 3D coat. It apparently treats tablets and mice differently. What I mean by that, is the feature that exists where if you right click and hold with the mouse, and drag horizontally, it changes the brush size, but drag vertically and you get brush strength. However, on the tablet it's a different story. If I hold the pen button for right-click and drag vertically I get brush size. But brush strength? I have to hold shift -and- the pen button while vertically dragging to change that. My 3D mouse doesn't have shift and other such buttons, it's just a basic space mouse wireless. So that means I have to take my hand off the space mouse every time I want to change brush size! It doesn't sound like much, but the more times I have to switch to my keyboard, the more my left wrist is going to be twisting, which will lead to a lot of problems later on. So, is there some way to address this? So that a right click will be the same wether it's on a mouse or a tablet? Or is this one of those cases where I just have to get used to the limitation of a program, and hope things don't get worse later? Thanks guys.

philnolan3d Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Strange. I just double checked and it works fine for me. Are you sure you're pressing the right mouse button on your pen, not the middle mouse button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Can you change the settings in the tablet config ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted May 17, 2017 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) On my Intuos Wacom tablet, it works as expected. Hovering over the tablet ----- Vertical changes the brush depth and horizontally changes brush radius size. I am using the default custom navigation located under the Camera menu--- Custom Navigation "3D-Coat" Edited May 17, 2017 by digman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
