You had a wacom behind that screen?

@jinniestar17

yes, an old Wacom Ultrapad 12x18", pretty good.

now i moved on a genuine Cintiq 21UX, it's great! 8-)

@vince56 HOw would you compare the responsiveness of two? ie DIY Cintiq and the original one?

[vince56]

@devilzworkshop

the responsiveness is about the same, on my old DIY I used an Ultrapad with 256 pressure levels the genuine one has 1024! the difference is clearly visible. if you use an Intuos 3, you'll have the same of the genuine Cintiq.

the responsiveness (or lack of it) is more dued to the speed of the computer the tablet is attached to rather then the tablet.

cheers... Vince

are you useing a mac or windows??

i use my cintiq in a mac, but i didnt found out how to put one of the buttons to "drag" the image around like you do in that video.. can you tell me how to configure that?? thanks!

@francischetto

i'm using Win XP Pro, so i don't know about Mac.

in Artrage for Win, to pan (drag) you have to press the RMB (is the button on the side on the pen, the nearest to the drawing tip).

this button, in combination with "SHIFT" and "ALT" make "ZOOM" and "ROTATE" canvas.

may be, on Mac too, you can change the button assignment in the configuration panel of the tablet.

cheers... Vince

@purpleniar Judging by the fact that it's Cintiq and Wacom made it... FREAKING AMAZING.
