The claws with the hand-painted large scales using again the tablet (which I’m not yet very familiar with 😉) and “Pressure Sensitivity” for the radius and the strength of the brush:

As I’ve learned, the “Pressure Sensitivity” is a percent value of the setting that you entered manually into the field where you can use that dynamic feature. So, setting a value to zero means that you won’t have any effect with your tablet pen no matter how strong your pressure is. When creating Piero’s large claw scales, I used “Radius” = 74 pixels and “Strength” = 0.112.
A question to people who’re experienced users of tablets with Blender: Can I control the orbiting with my tablet pen or do I have to use the mouse/keybord?
