I have a tablet, one of those little Graphire ones. Sure, it's not a
big table therefore 'real' but it works well enough for my artistically
challenged fingers.
I find pressure sensitivity to be annoying, frankly, so I really use the
eraser function and draw functions more than any actual pressure
sensitivity. A real artist used to working with charcoal may feel
totally different; maybe the graphire pen sucks (it seems twitchy
regardless of setup).
I would think the best would be to program the two functions. I found
moving the camera to be clumsy so in one mode I would like to 'point and
fly' but I think I would prefer the eraser end to either undo or clip to
<specified>, the business end would be to use the current tool with
pressure affecting the width / strength.
i.e. if you were in the crater tool, pushing harder would dig a deeper
crater. =20
If you were using the ramp tool, pushing harder, dragging, then letting
go would build a higher ramp than pushing lightly, dragging, letting go.
Just some thoughts.
