Wacom Cintiq 21ux

Unplug — Thu, 17 May 2012 01:34:17 GMT

Hello everyone i would be please to give you a full review of the wacom. I've done an unboxing video, i'll try to post it soon along with the product review itself.

BUT there is a big down side right now. I can't use it with lightwave. Is there anyone that own one or mayne an intuos that could help me. The problem is that as soon as i click the drag/zoom button it goes wild. I have no control and no precision. The rotate just go crazy fast in all direction, the zoom is stuck in a close up zoom and the drag just go in random direction at a very fast speed. What can i do to tweak that ? i would like to use my tablet with lightwave for sure...

Can't save object in Modeler

regenerator — Sun, 13 May 2012 01:44:12 GMT

Got a new PC and re-installed Lightwave 9.6.1 (64 bit). As I went to save an object it gave me an odd error message: It says "Unable to open file...". Open? I'm trying to save. Don't know if this a content directory issue or what. Any ideas of what this is?
