@WELZ yeah it was just for a day lol

Does your new avatar have some sort of hidden double meaning?

@LateralTerminal I did play with it a little! But it's very very limited in what you can do with it

it's like the MS Paint of 3D modeling :P

I ran into a road block with it and stopped using it. I completely forget what that road block was though

but I remember searching for the problem on the Adobe forums popped up with replies saying "it's not possible yet"

I believe this was the post: feedback.adobedimension.com/forums/…

> There are a few caveats (always at a 1.0) I wanted to let you know about. You can only have one decal per material right now, but we’ll be expanding that in the future. Also, decals are not really designed to wrap 360 around an object. They have a pretty good range, but if you need a full wrap you’ll still need to do some 2D layout in UV space. We’ll be working on more solutions here in the future.

I think it was the full wrapping that I needed, it's not designed for that

@JohnB Hopefully it won't be another one of those things Adobe makes then decides to never update it again.

@LateralTerminal hah, that's exactly the feeling I got when I was messing around with it

hey do any of you work on any surface devices?

@johnp You mean pen input devices? We don't call them surface devices.

because hp, dell, and other brands have wacom enabled laptop screens. Some have similar technology to wacom which produce similar but poorer results. Both are better than capacitive screens. What are you speaking of specifically?

I meant Surface devices as in the Pro or Book models

There's a shortage of stock where I am at the minute so I was wondering if any of you knew of any third party pens that were compatible. In the end I managed to order the oem brand

It'll be very sad to have the pen before the laptop arrives. Been trying to get hold of the Book 2 for a while but there's a shortage throughout Europe for some reason ;( Porcelain tear

@johnp I'm pretty sure they are just standard wacom pens

Not all wacom pens are interchangeable I've learned.

What is the exact brand you are purchasing?

A sales rep offered the bamboo pen as an alternative which surprised me as I thought Surface was Ntrig

Surface Book 2

sorted now though, just a pain with the delay

"The Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 helped reinvigorate the traditional tablet PC market, and both utilized Wacom EMR digitizers. For the much-heralded Surface Pro 3, Microsoft switched to N-trig, sticking with it for the Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, and upcoming Surface Studio. In fact, Microsoft ended up buying N-trig outright in early 2015."

@johnp

interesting.

Looks like surface pro 2 uses wacom

So if you have any of the galaxy note phones you could even use that pen

hmm interesting, thanks for the info!

thanks!

@johnp Let me know your experience with the surface pro 2 when you get it. :)

@LateralTerminal Will do! Getting the book model just for the larger screen but I'm sure it's the same digitizer and all. Had to do a lot of dark things...awful things I'm not proud of to save for it lol. I've wanted some kind of tablet pc for years though

the new hp spectre looks good though I really needed the pen tilt function

@LateralTerminal whaddya mean, the US flag?

It's my old profile pic, but I decided I also wanted to show the American flag.... nothing else 😊

@Wrzlprmft I kinda remember seeing something about if a moderator voted to close it.. (closed it) you can't reopen it.... (but that may just be for deleted)

I'm not even sure anymore :S
