Just bought a new Wacom tablet. Been without one for over 18 months and this was very cheap and just called out. It's a volito, so not the biggest and best, but works really well. Except in Bryce! My old one had a way of setting different apps to have different modes (mouse or tablet). Bryce has to be set on mouse mode other wise when you spin things around, they just spin out of control. Just something to be aware of if you see the same offer I did. (This was PC World in the UK, kind of our version of Best Buy).

My wacom is primarily for photoedit/manip work for this very reason (at which it is totally awesome!). I use my mouse for Bryce/Poser/Cinema4D and gaming.

The best piece of plastic ive ever bought! ...or got, my boss payed, but i can live with that. :))

Ah! I wondered why I had strange feelings. Thanks Drac, that explains it.

Hmm.., never used my Wacom with Bryce, but I just tried and it works perfectly, no spinning problems at all in any mode. It's an Intuos A4 and I'm running under MacOSX 10.2.8

With my last one, I used to have to set it to work on a relative positioning rather than absolute. Maybe your's automatically did that with Bryce? Can't imagine how though. But then, ours is not to reason why.....

Yeah, I love my lil' ole Wacom PenPartner! It still works great.

I think Drac's wacom came with a few non-standard extras by the sound of it ;)

While I currently don't have money for a Wacom, I tried something else, a Trust 12x9 tablet. You can set the active area to be as big or small as you need it, comes with a wireless mouse but coexists happily with your original mouse (Logitech Dual Optical in my case). The pen has only 512 levels of pressure and the tablet has pretty poor software bundle, but it costs just a bit more than $100 and is big, big, big. And does its job very nicely. What with the difference in price with a Wacom, you can fill out the software bundle. I'm seriously thinking of buying it. Just after I pay the 160GB disk. :-)

Love my Wacom Intuos 2 (6x8) tablet. I use it mainly with Illustrator, Photoshop and Painter.

Mine is an old serial ArtZ II (8x6), bought it second hand many years ago and it has migrated from computer to computer with me. (It uses Com1 and my Logitech mouse is on PS2)

Keep on thinking about a tablet, but haven't got one yet :(
