magneto Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I use a wacom intuous 4, but I really can't get the middle mouse button work using the Paint SOP. I set it to smooth points, but no matter how hard I try, no change happens. Middle mouse button otherwise works because that's how I pan, insert nodes into the network, etc. Thought someone using a tablet might know this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you activate the smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks, I use the right click menu because I thought the current operation values do not "stick" when I change it in the Parameters pane in Paint SOP. I tried all modes. Even when it's set to Deform Points, it doesn't do anything. Also I use win7 x64 if that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you check the documentation of the paint sop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 That's what I mean when I said the right click menu. It does change but the middle mouse strokes don't have any effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try using the MMB and LMB at the same time? Then it works. That's indeed wrong either in the documentation or implementation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks, I didn't do that. I will try that today. But if it only works like that, it has to be a bug, because all other middle mouse button functions work without doing that, also it would be very awkward to both held down LMB and MMB IMO.

magneto Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Kgoossens, I just tried what you said and it worked. It's not specified in the Paint SOP help card though. Also I find it a little awkward. I guess the tablet users are in the minority to make a case for this? Normally I understand the middle mouse button is tied to ladder handle but for the Paint or the Sculpt SOP, this is not the case, so it's a perfect candidate to actually use the middle mouse button for the middle mouse operation instead of also requiring to hold down the LMB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
