(and unfortunately the function key on my non Apple wireless keyboard is assigned to its own functions, so doesn’t work for the hover mode (though the laptop one, and presumably an Apple magic/wireless keyboard will)) However, still no solution to the Alt+Right Click Edge Loop Select issue… (in the same way it’s taking me a while to get used to the difference between using a Cintiq and Photoshop and an iPad pro with Procreate for drawing) Part of me feels it might actually be more in tune with the iPads pressure sensitivity, so may actually be better. Finally I feel the pressure sensitivity for sculpting etc was a little more responsive in Astropad, but haven’t used it enough with Duet to comment. Astropad however utilises the iPad’s two finger zoom and rotate view options which automatically work perfectly in Blender whereas Duet doesn’t, beyond a relatively non intuitive two finger up/down zoom, but then it allows using finger input in conjunction with a Pencil in ways Astropad doesn’t allow simultaneously.Īnother pro/con/vs is Duet is £10 and £20 per year for the Pro / pressure sensitivity functionality, but Astropad was as I recall a one off payment for full functionality. Brilliant.Īstropad retina resolution seems sharper, but more pixelly when not stationary whereas there isn’t a drop in resolution when moving around in Duet, so Duet definitely wins there. It leaves my laptop screen free as a separate monitor and now does all the things Astropad does.Īnd there’s even a fn + click hover function dealing with many of the above issues, so I can now move the ‘cursor’ to move/scale/rotate objects, change brush sizes etc and see the transition. When I decided to go with Astropad, Duet didn’t have pressure sensitivity, so it wasn’t an option. Looking forward to thoughts / suggestions / solutionsĪfter reading cekuhnen’s very detailed review of the iPad Pro I figured I’d give Duet a go. ![]() ![]() I’d previously been working on a Cintiq 12 for portable on screen work which works perfectly, but is SO heavy I was hoping the iPad Pro could totally replace it… Not sure which issue is for Blender, iPad or Astropad to solve, or if some things are just impossible by the limitations of an iPad. strange.Ĭan anyone think of a workaround for any of these issues? I mean I could just reach over and do cursor stuff on my trackpad, but am trying to set this up as a completely working mobile set up, and I use loop selecting a lot, and it’s pretty much there apart from these things and it’s all about the workflow right? The rotate and scale manipulators free transforms work fine. and strangely I just tried that with my trackpad and the location maniuplator works erratically too. however click dragging the centre of the manipulator doesn’t always work, sometimes, mostly placing the 3D cursor instead. Then I thought using the manipulator should be a solution. Also right click dragging doesn’t seem to work. with the iPad set up it won’t show the increase/decrease, but clicking away / or towards usually sets the change, though it’s quite erratic and anyway not ideal as you’re kind of guessing. So for actions like scaling, grabbing, or say changing the brush size in Sculpt mode, normally the movement of the cursor would change the size / location … i.e tapping G and moving a cursor to freely move an object not an option on an iPad. The problem here is with an iPad there isn’t a cursor as such, with movement via touch. Grabbing / scaling / any actions that requires movement across the screen without contact There is the option to go to Select>Edge Loops and right click on that to create a new shortcut, but that doesn’t allow using mouse clicks and needs two vertices or an edge selected first. ![]() If I change the setting to Select with Left Click, Alt+ Click loop selecting works but then navigating and loads of other stuff doesn’t. However if I want to Alt and Right Click an edge loop, using Alt + Command Click (Right Click) doesn’t work, presumably because the Alt+ is being used as a trigger for navigation… Command Click for right clicking, Alt and click to navigate around the scene, with control and shift for zooming and panning respectively. Using an Apple Pencil, with no right click function, setting the “emulate 3 button mouse” option solves most problems working with a single click device brings up. Since the recent Astropad update, it works brilliantly (the last version was too laggy and pixelly when moving around to really be usable).Īlt + Right Click Edge Loop Select with a single click input device I’m using Blender on an iPad Pro with a MacBook via Astropad with an Apple pencil and wireless keyboard.
