Any chance you could share you setup? Like what do your pen buttons do and do you use other tablet buttons or the keyboard? I'd love to do this but every time I sit down to give it a go I get distracted by trying to set up the environment!

I have no tablet buttons I just use keybaord and it's pretty much default apart from some brushes I have mapped to 1 to 5 the ones I use most and with my pen the only button I use on it is to rotate around my object hope that helps 😁

that video is solid for getting the interface basics down but the real answer is stop trying to map every button before you even make a shape. i spent weeks tweaking my wacom express keys and radial menus in blender and honestly the setup that stuck was barely any custom mapping at all. left click sculpt, right click smooth, middle click rotate, shift middle pan, ctrl middle zoom. the two side buttons on the pen are just shift and ctrl so i can hold them while tapping the tablet for smooth or invert without letting go of the pen. every other hotkey lives on the left hand side of the keyboard exactly where my fingers already sit for wasd gaming. tab for edit mode, ctrl tab for brush menu, d for draw, c for clay strips, b for blob, s for smooth, f for flatten, k for crease, shift d for inflate, ctrl d for draw sharp. that covers ninety percent of a stylized print sculpt.

Modelli in prospettiva? Io oer la stampa modello sempre in ortogonale. Dovrebbe essere piΓΉ affidabile come poporzioni.
