Course Overview
This course is unique in the sense that each individual user has a unique purpose for using a Wacom Tablet – from everyday use for ergonomical purposes to professional digital imaging. Wacom technology works under almost any software environment you can imagine – we cover Windows navigation, Photoshop, Maya and Zbrush.
It’s easy to use a pen tablet because every point on the tablet has a matching point on the screen. When you move your pen over the tablet the cursor moves in precisely the same way on the screen. Where you touch your pen tip to the tablet is where you click.
The Grip Pen gives you the power of pressure-sensitive control. Pressure sensitivity lets you control your software tools by changing how hard you press the pen tip to the tablet surface. Using pressure sensitivity you can dynamically control things like brush size, opacity, and more.
