Hi all,

I’m adding to the bug list for 3ds Max 2010.  I seem to be having issues when attempting to use an Intuos 3 Wacom Tablet inside of Max 2010.  Basically, I lose all support for using just the pen in max.  I cannot make the cursor move.  However, I can use the Wacom mouse and things seem to be working.

I’m running Vista x64 on Core i7 940 // Asus P6T Deluxe V2 box, with NVIDIA QuadroFX 3800.  It’s also worth noting that I have turned off Vista’s pen drivers because they interfere with some of the functionality of the Wacom drivers.  However, this had no effect on Max 2009, where my pen functionality is retained.

Anyone else using a tablet having similar problems?

i have a OLD Wacom Graphire and it works fine except for a small problem… if a object is selected, I can ORBIT fine using ALT-PEN DOWN-FINGER TIP BUTTON. (design 2010, SP1, COnnection Extension) ( i think the vista tablet crap is still on...didn’t try tuening it off...i noticed a right click pops up menu, but the pointer animation thing destroys the menu where it is at, once I turn off, that will prob go away).

But if NOTHING is selected, the perspective viewport becomes VERY JERKY and not smooth at all… like a 1 frame per second deal?!

I don’t really use the tablet, but gave it a try...not bad, especaially if bouncing back and forth between Mudbox and 3ds.  I use the Logitech Performance MX wireless mouse… awesome.

Wacom Intuos4 v6.2.0w5 / 3DConnexion Space Navigator (drv6.15.2)/ Logitech Performance MX mouse (5.33.14)

its probabaly a vista related problem.

i had that jerky problem when i first installed 2010 on xp64, but i had to reformat my computer anyway and the problem never came back so its not a 3ds max + wacom problem, its related to windows

Wisptis.exe is responsible for microsoft silverlight and snipping tool which crashes all the time. These are the ones i find out the last two months. (windows 7 64). So this solution is valid but Autodesk, wacom and microsoft have to work together to find a solution. I had to bring my laptop in order to work with a silverlight app. PLEASE! and by the way the snipping tool is a feature I was waiting for years.

Hello,

Is there any update to this problem?  I am pretty sure what I am experiencing is related to the same win process.  This happens both on an Intuos3 and a Cintiq21UX.

Whenever I am using my tablet in 3ds… I get, what seems like, really bad fps - even when just orbiting simple geo in wireframe.  However using a regular mouse… no issues.

I’m on Win7 with an Intel Q9450 and an NVidia GTX260 + 8Gb Ram
on 3ds Max 2010 32-bit SP1, using Direct3D9.0

I am hoping to move to 3dsMax 64-bit soon… but somehow I doubt that this will fix the problem as I get similar but less severe and inconsistently wierd behaviour in both PS CS4 and Zbrush4 as well.

Thanks!
Dan

I’m aware of the Silver Light conflict.

What I’ve done, is made a batch file that swaps out the real wisptis.exe with a fake one for when I work with my Wacom. Lame, but I have little faith in either company addressing this.

A coleage in my class showed me a simple fix for this.

In Windows7 ( I dont know about Vista ), open the Pen and Touch software, and simply disable the Press and hold feature.
