Wacom tablet setup tip

I’ve got a tip for all you folks just setting up a Wacom tablet for the first time. It’s not going to take you long to figure out that scrolling is weird or cumbersome. We do a lot of scrolling on computers so having a poor experience is no good.

Depending on your tablet you may have a Touch Ring or a little scrolling...

Fixing Wacom Intuos Pro lag

I’m currently using an Intuos Pro M and on an iMac 5K and I was getting a ton of lag when the computer was doing intensive things, like rendering. The touch surface worked perfectly fine, but the pen was unusable.

I broke down and got a 3-button mouse

I probably teeter on the edge of being an Apple fanboy. Since the original iPhone I’ve waited hours in lines for iPhones just so I could have them on the first day. I’ve gone through too many MacBook Pros, Mac Pros and iMacs to count. I wear my AirPods at least half of every day… even though they fall out of my ears. I...

Blender rendering on a Mac

I’ve done 3D work in the past with both Maya and Cinema4D, but I’m now giving Blender 2.8 a go. The interface has been completely overhauled and it seems far more approachable. This also means I have some learning to do and, naturally, the issue of rendering came up pretty quick.

In 2014 Apple decided it was going to ...
