Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Maxwell 3 but am having problems using it with my wacom tablet. I cannot select any of the menus, buttons etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a solution please. I cannot use a mouse due to having carpal tunnel problems.

Thanks a lot.

Neil

ps. Maxwell 3 is amazing. Can't wait for the stereo rendering in 3.2.

i use intuos4 wireless and work fine with maxwell

Thanks for the reply.

Weird, I wonder it could be then. It works fine in all other apps.

I have just updated the drivers and it is still the same.

On mac it is fine, the problem is with Window 8.1.

it work fine with windows 7 and 10 in all applications

Hey, which version of the wacom plugin are you using? I installed the latest last night, still the same.

Do you use the tablet in mouse mode?

Thanks.

i installed the last driver and i don't use it in mouse mode
cintiq 12wx also work fine with maxwell and other applications ; test your tablet with maxwell in safe mode

FYI

i use 6.3.1.w3 with an intuos 3, i use a grip pen and a sometimes the tablet-mouse.

i noticed before with the mouse (in mouse mode) i have the same problem you describe and only in maxwell apps.

the pen and the mouse in pen mode both work fine. looks like a rare bug

Thanks for that. Just done a test with the tablet in pen mode, Maxwell works fine. Thing is I don't use a mouse, I work solely with the pen. Mouse mode is so much easier to work with.

I have had this with a couple of other apps in the past. Most work perfectly. Weird.

Damn, no idea why I keep doing double posts!!

Little update. I have just got a new monitor and the wacom works fine. FYI I was having the problem when I was running Studio etc on my laptop. I have now plugged the screen in and it runs. Go fathom!!

Good
is the problem with the driver of the laptop monitor ?

Could be, it has a touch screen too. I deactivated that to see if it help. Doesn't seem to do anything. I can't see what the difference is when running an external monitor. It is the same machine after all.

maybe because it is touch screen

Weird how it only effects Maxwell though.

I am going to upgrade to Windows 10 soon. Maybe that will fix it.
