The N-trig pen is extremely precise when calibrated.
TOON BOOM ANIMATE PRO 2 PORTABLE SOFTWARE
It would seem someone could write a small software shortcut for turning off and on screen touch. If you do not do this when drawing, you will go insane. You can then re-enable it using the same path. After some searching, I found a work around: Right click lower left windows button>System>Device Manager>Human Interface Devices>Right click HID-compliant touch screen>Disable>click YES. Most such tablets have a software switch to turn off touch so you can draw without making extraneous marks or accidentally flipping between programs. This is a problem in all tablets which advertise pen and touch sensitivity. Palm rejection is very good, but not perfect.

For instance, pencils seem to behave very well, while pens develop an unacceptable jitter.īottom line: I am keeping wintab drivers active in the program for the immediate future. Some tools seem to work very well without wintab, while others develop strange artifacts.
This was the surprise of my recent retesting. However, recent updates to the machine from Microsoft have turned this into a better experience. On a new Surface Pro 3, this was a very unsatisfactory experience. Toon Boom products allow you to turn off the wintab drivers in the preferences section of the programs. It is not absolute and seems to be dependent on the use of wintab drivers. There is also a phenomenon where pressure sensitivity disappears if you adjust the screen resolution. There is a tool coming soon, according to press reports, which will adjust this curve. For me, this is not a big deal, but it may matter to others. The real issue is the pressure sensitivity curve, which is definitely less optimal in my hands with the N-trig pen. Pressure sensitivity comments have focused on the fewer increments of pressure for N-trig compared to Wacom.

You still must install the wintab drivers from the N-trig site, but this is easy. Wintab drivers do not come pre-installed on the Surface Pro 3. Pressure sensitivity was poor and “wintab” drivers usually did not exist. In previous years, combining N-trig with art software was a terrible experience. Battery life is great for an x86 powered machine of such low weight. The i7 hardware is powerful, though it lacks a dedicated graphics card, and the total weight of the device is amazingly low. Meanwhile, the screen is very high resolution, though this can be easily dialed down to a lower resolution screen. Microsoft insisted this version was going to be dramatically different. N-trig pens have traditionally not done well as artist tools. Those of us familiar with tablets and tablet PC’s were very unhappy with the use of the N-trig pen compared to the Wacom pen.
TOON BOOM ANIMATE PRO 2 PORTABLE WINDOWS 8.1
Surface Pro 3 runs Windows 8.1 and has both a touch and an N-trig pen interface. Since my results here are mostly good, I doubt there will be dramatic changes to come. Microsoft had obviously updated some drivers in just the past two weeks. My results for compatibility testing came out much improved. The short answer to the question is: Yes, with some qualifications.Ī few days ago, I had this great blog post ready to go and then I did some last minute experimenting. Three weeks ago, my i7 Surface Pro 3 arrived from the online Microsoft store. The moment Microsoft announced the Surface Pro 3, many artists with Toon Boom asked the same question: Will Surface Pro 3 work with Toon Boom Software?
