Does anyone use a tablet?
just a general question...
i was watching one of Kurt's tutorials the other day and he was using a tablet, and you see on 'the making of <movie/game>' such as God of War that the visual artists are using tablets too
does anyone here get much use out of their tablet? or what sort of tablet would you like?
i would love to have one of those tablets that are lcd screens too, cuz then its easier to see what you're doing with the pen. I've used a few tablet notebooks (just briefly) and it was great fun
the only thing with the notebooks (unless i'm totally wrong which i wouldn't be too surprised since i haven't done any research on this yet) is that you can't just connect it to a PC and use it as a second monitor
and when i went to wacom to find out what tablets are like that, it shows me the cintiq model, which costs more than my laptop and second monitor put together... :attn: (expensive stuff is COOL)
does anyone on these forums have a cool tablet like the cintiq?

so no one yet has one of those cool tablets that are screens?
i just have some little tablet that i think is broken... if i put the pen into the holder, which is attached to the top of it, the cursor starts to jiggle and slowly move down...
actually, i have to try it out on my current setup with two monitors....
i'm betting that it'll have a spot that doesn't register anything since my second monitor has a higher res than my laptop...

i hear the intuos are suited for multiple monitor environments
i thought tablets would just stretch to all monitors anyway, but as i have found out, my current tablet doesn't do that...just sticks to the primary one...
