Hello,

I'm new to moi and 3d. I was wondering if most of your are using a tablet or a mouse?

Is one better over the other?

Also what tablet is recommended?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Robert, I think that actually a majority of people overall are using a mouse.

You can use either one just as well - it's not required to use a tablet, it is just that unlike other 3D / CAD programs MoI is set up to work smoothly with a pen tablet if you want.


> Is one better over the other?

Not really... But if you don't currently have a pen tablet then probably you'd be more comfortable sticking with the mouse.

But the pen tablet is really great if you do regular drawing with a pencil and paper and want to try and replicate a more similar feel on the computer.


> Also what tablet is recommended?

I'd recommend the Intuos tablets from Wacom.

- Michael

I first used Moi Beta with a tablet pc and its really good especially at drawing curves
infacr drawing curves with MoI better then most illustrator type software but thats as side point

when using Moi with a mouse its better then I thought it would be and you dont have to have a second hand hovering over the keyboard all the time which is something i definetly appriciated.

so either way its really good IMHO

anyway I'll probably add a graphics tablet to my desktop machine
in a recent review in 3D World Magazine The Genius (yep genius) PenSketch 9x12 got a really good review
an good inexpensice gfx Tablet thats about £85/$196
review quote "here's a tablet to challenge Wacom's dominance"
