Oh, Lord. Blayne, tell me you didn't buy a tablet PC.
Remember that whole "budget" thread you started, in which you made it obvious that you needed thousands of dollars more than you had just to make it through the next eight months?
You could also have titled that thread "Why I can't afford a new computer, or even computer parts."

nonono, I'm trying out the Bamboo writing tablet I got a few months back.
I'm trying to make a webcomic.

The Bamboo tablet is pretty terrible. It makes drawing un-fun. But I'd definitely wait until you've got the cash for a better one before moving up.

To clarify a bit: I think you CAN do a webcomic with a bamboo tablet, but the only way you'd really be able to make it work (without adopting an extremely loose, impressionistic style) is if you do the linework with pen/paper and scan that in, and just use the bamboo for the coloring. Getting solid lines down with it is very hard.

Perhaps the place to practice using your tablet isn't by starting new threads on a discussion board?

The bamboo works quite well for me - after I disabled one of the drivers that made it "pretty terrible"
Posted by Raymond Arnold (Member # 11712) on :
Really? Which was that?
Posted by Jeorge (Member # 11524) on :
"Wacom Virtual HID Driver"
If you disable that driver, it does disable some features, but it made the device overall go from sluggish and irritating to very nice, in my book.
Posted by Blayne Bradley (Member # 8565) on :
what did that driver do exactly.
Posted by Raymond Arnold (Member # 11712) on :
I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm running on a Mac, and the system preferences don't have an obvious way to disable specific drivers.
I also don't really have a problem with it being sluggish, just kind of sloppy.

Funny, back in OS 9 there used to be a very easy way of doing this...
