Problems to turn on my Tablet in ZBrush (answered)

Hi all!
I have a little problem with my grafic tablet!
In Zbrush4.0 is the button to turn the tablet functions grayed out.

I think the drivers are ok because, in Photoshop works it fine with pressure sensitivity, angle from pen and so on.
Has anyone an idea how i can fix this problem?

try re-installing zbrush 4.0. if not what graphics tab you got?

I reinstall ZBrush, but still the same.

I use Win7 with a Wacom Intuos3 tablet.

Make sure the Wacom service is running. If you don’t know how to check then:

Click Start button then Run (see below), then type in services.msc and click OK. Scroll down to “TabletServiceWacom” and make sure it says “Started” in the Status column and Automatic in the Startup Type column. If it doesn’t say that, then double click “TabletServiceWacom” and select Automatic from the Startup Type then, under Service status, click Start button to start the service. Close Services dialog after service has started.

If the service was already started and on automatic startup and your Preferences > Tablet settings are still greyed out, then go to Wacom.com and make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

*If you don’t see the “Run” button on the Start menu then:

1. Open the Start Menu.

2. Right Click on a empty space on the Start Menu and select Properties.

3. Click on the Start Menu Tab and click on Customize.

4. Scroll down and put a check in Run Command box and click OK.

IT WORKS! :smiley:

I must deinstall the driver and I download the newest.
The driver before worked with Photoshop and other things but not for detetion under ZBrush.

Thanks for the help!

Hi McFly or anyone else that cares to offer a response. I’m new to Zbrush and still using a mouse. What tablet are you guys using. Is the Bamboo worth getting or do I need one of the more expensive versions of Wacom.

Thanks for any feedback.

I hear that many poeple work with very simple types.

I would suggest The Wacom Intuos 4 4x6 (MSL $229). I started out with a Wacom Graphire 3, which was one of the low end Wacom tablets at that time, and later switched to the Wacom Intuos 3 4x6 and was really glad I did. If you don’t mind the price, then go with the better one. You get what you pay for.
