How do you set up your pen?

[Alex Silver]

Brilliant technique – simple and easy 🙂 However I am wondering how you configure your pen (when you use it). I have a wacom and the pen has a rocker switch – the bottom I have set to Middle click and the top to CTL.

This means that just by using the pen I can rotate around and pan (with the shift key held down). When painting I can easily switch between the two colours as you have suggested.

It is a little tricky when changing my view, but very workable. Do you have a better setup? A little description of how you work with your pen/tablet would be invaluable.

(btw I am just talking about texture painting here, I still use mouse and keyboard elsewhere)

I have my pen rocker buttons set to MMB for the bottom one (closes to the tip) and the upper set to RMB. Essentially just like a pen version of the mouse. Everything else is default like pen tip being LMB and I have no hotkeys setup for the tablet itself..I’m a simple man 😅

Is that helpful?

Ah – interesting. Yes, very helpful, thx. I use CTL for the upper rocker for when I texture paint – so I can switch between the two colours easily.
