General Discussion / Re:Choosing a Wacom.
Mon 03/11/2003 09:32:43
There used to be a "wizard" that helps you pick which tablet is best for you on the Wacom site, dunno whether or not it's still there.  It depends on how you are accustomed to drawing.  If you tend to draw/paint in large, sweeping arm movements, you'll want a large tablet, no matter the size of your drawing.  If, on the other hand, you tend to draw/paint with small wrist movements, you'll want the 4x5 or 6x8.

I've been using a Wacom for several years, and the only reason I have a 4x5 Graphire (bought after my 4x5 ArtPadII, bought after my 4x5 ArtPad) is because I can't afford a 6x8 Intuos2.  If you can, or if you can save up for it, go for it.  

Oh... one other reason to go with 9x12 or 12x12 is if you do CAD stuff.  From what I've heard and read, tho', the 6x8 is the most popular model among graphic and fine artists who can afford it.

Hope that helps.

The site is looking good, Breeta, congrats! One suggestion: on the main page, when you add a note about the latest games added, link to the game rather than the genre page, i.e. link to MMOG.htm#PuzzlePirates rather than just MMOG.htm.  That way one doesn't have to search for the particular game on the page, an exercise that will become quickly tedious once you have a gazillion games.

Just a thought.  Great job, tho' :)

In general, I think that tutorials of any sort are always welcome.  They're bound to be useful to someone.  Personally, while I own Bryce 5, I don't use it to model.  I like what you've come up with, tho', and would certainly be interested in reading how you overcome the app's shortcomings.

Good luck with the new web site!

This is true of later versions, not certain if it is in v3.2, but you can configure the app so the title bar is on top.

I won't try it 'til you've posted the final version, and 'til I've first tried the first 3 parts. Just wanted to say that that was a really sweet thing to say :) I'm looking forward to checking out the game - I love "cuteness."

I got my own domain, and pay for web space.  If the site goes down, I just keep on tech support 'til it's resolved, and in the meantime, suffer like you are :)

Currently drive a '94 Nissan Sentra, and sorely miss my '91 Range Rover and '00 Nissan Maxima.

More suggestions: Use the pencil tool, and modify the image's colour table to exclude all but the colours you'll actually be using.
