I was thinking about going out and getting a tablet this weekend. Is there anything that a Graphire3 either sucks at or just can't do?

Would you recommend it?

If not, what other tablets are good that I should look at.

Sakura-chan · 2004-02-23, 21:16

Graphire3? I dunno, I have Graphire2, and it's super awesome. Well, Wacom tablets are the best ones out there.

Lots of really cool artists I know use Graphire tablets.

that's cool, I think that's what I'm getting (graphire3). What size do you have?

It would be so cool though to get one of those $3000 ones that you write on the screen, but who has $3000 dollars to spend (besides my rich Asian friend Dave, who got a $19,000 baby grand piano for doing well in school

)

4x5... Hah... That's not as small as it seems, actually. BTW, most of my drawings are drawn 100% with tablet.

Nya. /me luffs my tablet.
Now, you friend has a heck lota money. Unlike me. ;__;

Raxial · 2004-02-23, 21:38

lol, yeah. Good thing he has a bunch of small parties. Anyway, I'll check em out when I go. I think the smaller one should be fine, and it's like $100 cheaper.

I have the intuos2 and IMO the tablet is the greatest device to be added on to my computer since the wireless keybard and mouse.

Though, you may not want to justify 400 on this tablet but I like it because of the drawing space and pressure levels.

Raxial · 2004-02-23, 22:23

bah, im not gonna dump that much money into it, I don't need that many pressure levels. Just something that will let me draw is fine.

noZ · 2004-02-24, 05:06

i just got an intuos2....it rocks!!!

grt it...the diefference in price between this and the graphire 3 is worth it...

Raxial · 2004-02-24, 08:29

well, i was looking at ebay and I cant really find a cheap intuos2. the intuos is pretty cheap though. Which is better, the regular Intuos or the Graphire3?

Imaginer · 2004-02-24, 11:00

the smaller sizes are less expensive. i have the 12 x 9 tablet but there are smaller ones out there

NightBeast · 2004-02-24, 17:18

I've the Graphire 3 and you should buy it, too. the big version is too expensive and you really don't need it. The standart one is big enough.
i bought mine for 99,95 €

Raxial · 2004-02-24, 17:24

yeah, unless something comes up, I'll be getting the $99.99 Graphire3. I think it's like 4X5 or something. That should be fine.
