Still can't go wrong with Wacom. Don't fall for cheap Chinese trash.

>>770776
been there done that. shit deal. buy a wacom one medium, it's cheap af and will do your thing. if you wanna spend for something with a monitor, consider a lenovo c340 or something like that

>>770781
>wacom one
Watch out, there´s the U$100 simple model (which is the one you´re probably talking about) and the 'display' one that comes at U$1000,00.
- Size DOES matter, as a large tablet and a small screen will get less distortion than the other way around (and BOTH at the same screen shape please (a 16:9 rectangle, etc)).

Stay away from XP-Pen. I had a bad experience with the hardware, and support was terrible. I had used Wacom before and, after that, went back to it. There's a good reason they are still on top.

>a large tablet and a small screen will get less distortion than the other way around
I don't think I understand; are there tablets with screens that don't fit the entire drawing space, or do you mean a large screenless tablet in combination with a small monitor is better than having a small screenless tablet with a large monitor? If so, I'm aiming to get something on the larger side specifically because of that; I don't want to have to deal with jitter because of resolution mismatches or anything like that

Interesting, I've had specifically the xp-pen 15.6 pro recommended to me, with the only caution being "don't remove the protective film or you'll scratch the screen".

I saw some vids on how great the Apple devices are for drawing, and I believe it... However, because price and me not even being sure if I'll get into that, I bought some Chinese tablet which could be used for drawing (Chuwi). Would tell you how it turned out, if I had ever used it. When I finally wanted to try, the batteries for the pen were empty, and now I'm waiting for the replacement.

I always wondered what they did with the leftovers fingers from pool players "gloves".
You really do learn every day.

>>770776
This.

Chink tablets have horrible pressure consistency, bad pens and fragile cables. They are not worth it.

Anybody has experience with Veikk A15 ?

>>770902
Architects have been using these gloves for drawing long before even black and white film has been invented, now I'm curious which came first.

cgmatter / defaultcube says that tablets are useless for 99% of 3d and that even in substance painter you mainly apply smart materials and mask them out with very basic masks that can be done with the mouse. Is he right?

>>771171
So according to them sculpting only makes up 1% of the 3D industry? Ok, good to know.
Tablets are only necessary for sculpting and hand drawn textures, so if you're asking like this you don't need one and if you're still now sure you should get a cheap used Wacom Intuos or some chinkshit and check it out before dropping money on anything more expensive.

>>771171
Sculpting, texture painting, mask painting, rotoscoping, mattes, animation...

No, CGMatter is, again, wrong.

>>771171

>also can only capture existing objects
So he not only looks like a fag, seems that he thinks like one too

>>771292
His videos are blendlet fodder.

>>771292
Who would holds such inane beliefs?

>>771172
It's also necessary for riggers who do serious weight painting

Perhaps he doesn't believe all that, but knows that it sells among his intended audience. I mean, the guy doesn't seem completely retarded, so he probably is somewhat aware of how much bullshit he's spreading.

Remember to cover the surface with acetate to enhance the lifespan of your pen nubs, you can also buy 1.6mm trimmer line instead of official nubs to replace the used ones.

I fell for the chink trap and bought a veikk a15. Ita surprisingly good though.
