I think 3d artist hardware reviews are definitely needed. Its a hole in the market and its hard to shop for equipment when the review is just 2d. 2d is great but its isnt 100 percent tailored to our needs so you need to make alot of guess work to translate it when making a buying decision. Great video keep it up.

I literally ordered my first display tablet the day before this video went up (can't wait until it arrives!) for exactly the reason you mentioned about the disconnect between my eye and hand. While I intend to use it for both drawing and sculpting, I couldn't help but notice that my lines when drawing on paper felt more confident. It was just easier and faster to draw physically than digitally even though I've been drawing digitally for years. I can't wait to try this out for myself.

Wow. I love how fair you sound and the content of your videos guys. You truly look like good people and professionals. Huion is being lucky that you decided to make a review of one of their items. I wish I didn't buy my Cintiq 27 3 years ago, but there was not a good budget tablet by then. Shame, although I love my tablet. Parallex in Cintiq 27 is three times what I see in the video with the Huion, but it is never a major problem as we adapt as humans and it only takes 2 days to feel it natural.

Hey bud, with the issue your having with the pen tablet and keyboard, I had the same issue but i bought a mountable keyboard tray for under my desk/pen display. I got it from amazon for like $40, not bad. It solved that problem beautifully, I can now keep my left hand centered just below the pen display and the difference in ergonomics is amazing! So if your desk layout supports a mountable keyboard tray, give it a try...

Thanks for the candid assessment of this kind of tablet for sculpture. I'm mainly interested in sculpture but also 2D drawing/painting as well. I come from a 2D/real clay drawing/sculpture type background but haven't done either thing in over 20 years. I bought an inexpensive Wacom tablet a few years back but it's never gotten much use. It seemed weird and difficult to look at a vertical screen in front of me but be trying to draw or maneuver something on the tablet. It just seemed odd, and compounding that fact with the cheaper tablet being only flat on the desktop made things more complex. Additionally, I work at a standing desk, but can also sit in a tall chair at the same desk, so I wanted something like a tablet that would work comfortably for both positions. A friend just bought one of the newer 19" tablets from Huion for both sculpting and drawing and so I was interested and pleased to see your assessment for use in sculpting. I feel like I might have a slight advantage in adapting to using this type of accessory because I don't have a long term set of workflow habits in either sculpting or drawing programs. I like the idea of drawing on the same surface I'm looking at much more than the disjointed aspect of pen tablet. Anyway, you've sold me on getting a Huion for sculpting and I think it'll be a great compliment to my learning, especially because I've not developed any habits or attachments to specific tools or programs yet.

Excellent video! I love that format. And I know it's not a review but the way you were telling about your workflow/ the product was so good, so realistic. I recently bought I Huion Kamvas 16 Pro, I am loving it. Ive used regular tablets for 10 years in advertising/ Art Direction. I adapted very fast and my sculpting level (beginner to advance) improve a little, because the way you move things with a screen its way more organic. I think that a 16inches is good to start, but in a few years I'll definitively buy a 22 or more. Thx

As far as the smaller keyboard, I can definitely recommend one! the Koolertron SMKD72-A. 48 individual mechanical keys laid out in a grid, and each one is fully programmable and can be set to emulate any keypress, combo, or even macros. I've found it is extremely valuable for my workflows. The software leaves a little to be desired, but it's a set-and-forget so unless you're constantly changing up the programming it really shouldn't matter that much.

I did a similar upgrade quite a few years back, mainly because I primarily draw and paint. But when I do use Zbrush I feel like I lost the layer of abstraction between my hand and my eyes that made it feel like I was working in three dimensional space. Versus now I just feel more detached from the surfaces that I am working on and in turn has made it harder to express the forms that I want to. I probably just need to use Zbrush more these days.

Nice video! You're right, it is tough to come quality videos of this kind from the perspective of a 3d artist. I'm not a professional but I do have some education in digital graphics and currently enjoy it a lot as a hobby (I do pretty much anything I feel like. 3d, 2d, animation etc). My trusty Intuos broke down a few years ago (not the tablet, but the cord) after almost a decade of service and since then I've spent what little time I've allocated to art on traditional media. A few months ago I decided to replace the tablet and started looking at pen displays. Had I done some better research I might have looked more into the Huion displays. They do look nice from what I can tell. I ended up buying a Wacom One (mostly since I've been very happy with their products in the past and I couldn't justify spending the money on a Cintiq) and I am very happy with it so far. The small size doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought but that might be because I have next to no experience with larger, or any really, pen displays in general. My main issue with it is that it lacks any kind of mount interface on the back so getting it to sit well on my monitor arm required some hacks.

I have recently been greatly disappointed by my Wacom purchase, so I've been looking for alternatives since it doesn't seem like the Wacom issue will be solved any time soon.

I'm liking what i see in ur demo. Looking forward to more. I want to switch over from my Intuos Pro 3 since forever as I'm sure it will free me from being chained to the eye/hand coordination pen tablet.

I've been on the look out for a new tablet and after watching this video I ended up buying this tablet. I figured if it's good enough for the FN guys, it's good enough for me! I'm loving the experience so far and my speed has definitely increased from using a tablet with no screen. One downside I would report though seems to be the Huion Drivers, as if I turn the tablet off using the power button then when I turn it back on my iMac doesn't recognise it and I have to restart my Mac to get it working again. Not a major big deal, but I would expect it to be able it be turned off and on with no issues.

I made the mistake of investing in a big Cintiq Pro and a stand. It cost a fortune and I’ve already gone back to my bog-standard Intuos! The problems were many and varied. For starters I was used to working with my keyboard in front of me, my hand/arm offset to the right and my head up. With a large screen (as shown here) you work the other way around. What I hadn’t realised is that the Cintiq stand only has two positions. You can tilt the screen but you can’t make fine adjustments to the up and down position. The only height/tilt position that suited me was when I standing - which took some getting used to. Strangely, however, it wasn’t my legs that got tired but my arm which was now required to work at a different angle. All in all, an expensive mistake.

I´m working on Rhino for Nurbs modelling for about 20 years now and just started out on zbrush, which I wanted to do forever now. Its a great combined workflow, but I had two problems. The navigation in zbrush is completely counter-intuitive to what Rhino does. I have a large 3d-connexion space mouse with a lot of hotkeys available, which I modified to work in the same way it works in Rhino, so I can navigate easily. The other thing is the way to sculpt on a tablet, which I never really warmed up with (have a intuos). Now that I saw your video, I know that I must get the Huion I was pondering anyways. Thank you for your video!

In my case it really helped me mantain a good posture, I have the tendency of leaning closer to the screen bending my back and it gave me bad neck and shoulder pains. Keeping the screen right under my face helps me keep my back straight while working!

@BadNewsBerrington 3 жыл бұрын

I bought the 24. I bought the xp pen version first. It was decent but the screen protector made the surface feel a little spongy and the dial on the side was always in the way when using the side buttons. The drivers were being updated every week and while everything else would improve, using photoshop became impossible. I would draw a stroke and it would take several seconds for the line to fully render. So I sent it back and bought the Kamvas Pro 24. As far as the surface goes it’s been great. Since it’s an etched glass surface there’s no spongy feeling and no lag in any of the apps I’m using. The pressure sensitivity is amazing. Particularly in photoshop. The parallax in the main portion of the screen is minimal. However, once you get to the edges it gets a little difficult to use any scroll bars. The corners are even worse. When I close Maya I can’t tell if I’ve hit the X or not because 1, Maya takes forever to close and 2, the parallax makes it hard to hit the button. Speaking of buttons, the side buttons do feel a little cheap. There’s more wiggle/play in them than I’d like which makes screen switching a bit of a pain to do quickly but I’ve gotten used to it at this point. The touch bar is terrible. Don’t even bother with that thing. Actually I’m really not even using the buttons at this point other than for screen switching. All in all I would say for the price tag it’s a great piece of equipment. I would recommend not buying it direct from their website. For some reason they can’t offer free shipping there. But you can buy it from their Amazon store and get the free shipping.

I've used a 22 inch huion for a few years now. I used a monitor arm that I detached a section from and mounted it directly in from of my main monitor so that I can pull it slightly off my desk and almost flat on the desk if I need. It moves side to side as well. With the desk being motorized, I can get all positions I want throughout the day. For the keyboard, I use a full one sometimes. I also have a stream deck and a space mouse. I printed something that holds them both together and allows all the keys needed for normal keyboard shortcuts. The space mouse is nice for moving really fast throughout the canvas. I still do not think it's a perfect setup. I'll be playing with that for years.

@itsa_possum 3 жыл бұрын

I much prefer the intuos, you can sit perfectly upright working on your regular monitor. It fits in perfectly in front of the keyboard so you have full access to shortcuts and there is absolutely no big fumbling around with cables and stuff to rearrange the tablet. Lastly they are a lot less prone to errors and driver fuckery and you can use them on the go with laptops. It takes a bit of practice to get used to tablets but I like that my hand does not obstruct parts of my work area. I guess it all boils down to personal preference (and budget)

really cool video, i was looking forward to a review from a 3d modeler or sculptor... I have a question that perhaps you can answer. I use at work an XP pen 16.5 and it has a very annoying bug that im hopping they will fix in a driver update... the cursor jumps a little to the sides if you press the button on the pen barrel repeatedly in a fast motion... since i use it as middle click it happens all the time when orbiting around the model... i checked in a friend huion (not your model) and it also had the same issue... is this still a thing in the newer model? i would appreciate if you could answer. kind regards and great work.

4:15 This is the exact problem I have to work around with my current drawing tablet and laptop... So to speak. I found it easier to stagger the gateway on a book or desk while my wacom bamboo sits a bit lower. I was chewing on the idea of getting a numbpad too so I could finally have tablet and quick keys side-by-side. Now that I wanna graduate to a full pen display, and seeing that you have a similar right hand/left hand setup within the program, (i could be mistaking default setup sorry) I'll definitely grab a numbpad or something smaller too!! Ps. Sorry I don't sculpt (yet), but I've doodled a fair bunches :D Pps... not sure why I zeroed in on that.. particular.. point.... Ahem.. carry on 😅

Hi. Thanks for an another great video. I actually got interested with this solution. Please tell me, if I may ask: since it has no buttons (I like them to keep something on my left), wat's your solution to change the brush size?

after i had the chance to work on a cintiq for a half year back in 2018, i bought a xp-pen artist 22HD (because i didn't want to spend too much on a display, and i was curious how different the experience would be) and to my suprise, after 2 years of working with my xp-pen, I am totally happy with my pen display. I never had issues / problems, it feels almost the same as the cintiq, it was quite cheaper, and i feel no difference. maybe I'm just lucky that i never had issues, because i heard the lack of support is a reason why people decide for a different product, but for me the xp-pen is as good as the cintiq.. but like 60% cheaper in the price. So if you don't want to spend too much money, and want to take the risk of not having good support if you have any problems with the driver etc. i recommend the xp-pen

For me an important hotkey on my Wacom Cintiq is the one I use to switch the cursor from one monitor to another so I can grab something that is off the Cintiq screen on a second or third monitor. In the wacom driver the function is called display toggle. The functionality is only available within the Wacom driver itself and can be mapped to any of the function keys on the tablet, or to the pen buttons. Is it possible to do something like that with the Huion, especially considering how it doesn't have any express keys? I'm just curious in case I ever need to replace my Cintiq (mine is an older 21 inch) For everyting else I tend to just use my regular keyboard that I will put slightly to the left off the tablet.

I bought a second hand cintiq that came with an arm. This lifts it above the surface and I can put my keyboard to the front and centre. I use it all day every day and have less issues with physical pain than using the desk tablets. I am so used to it now I can’t think of a better way.

if u ask me yeah I would like a a follow up , specialy if you can compare it to a cintiq .. for a lot of artists who don't have the budget to buy an expensive wahcom and don;t have the chance to try one of this tablets huion or xp pen .. brands its pretty awsome to see someone who you admire , respect or have in good regard .. that this person tries something and make a review or just give his/her impressions .. it helps ! (in my opinion) so thanx a lot so yeah IM interested in this kind of vids ! :) huion and xp pen have 2k 24'' monitors so if you one day cando a test on tose would be pretty sweet too :3 !

My 2 cents here is that once you get used to the pen tablet (Intuos), then the display tablet isnt an automatic improvement. You have to be someone with traditional experience to really get the most out of a display tablet. For example, I used a standard pen tablet (Intuos Medium) for 10+ years and thought I'd like a display tablet. I got one and it ended up collecting dust because I basically had to relearn how to draw on it. It sounds weird, but you really do get used to seeing your image on the screen with a pen tablet. One you transition to looking down and having your hand in the way, and drawing strokes with a different ratio, it felt really bad for me. I do feel way better on my pen tablet, despite having accuracy issues, but truly I'd rather give up a little accuracy (that can be achieved w/ ctrl-z or smoothing tools) and maintain my overall style and perception. I did try to go back to my display tablet to practice and did notice improvement, but working professionally I really didn't have the time to relearn how to draw on a display tablet. Long story short, display tablet is an upgrade for those of you with extensive traditional hands on experience. If, however, youre like me and spent years getting really good on a pen tablet (to the point of working as a contractor for AAA game studios) then it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks and your brain is fairly programmed into using the pen tablet well. My speed is totally fine at the end of the day on the tablet too so I finally decided it wasn't worth using my display tablet at all anymore.

I decided to do my practices on the tablet when I was starting because I noticed my progress in "real" drawing wasn't translating on the tablet so well, I went full tablet and my digital drawing improved a lot , I thought I was the only one who had that problem. I was thinking of getting a 22 pen display for 3d sculpting on Christmas but your comment really made me think, maybe I should try with a cheap small one before diving head on? Thank you for your insight!

@AlexTsekot 3 жыл бұрын

@@seragx99 You definitely should try a cheaper pen tablet first. Also keep in mind that sculpting is quite different to drawing, you don't necessarily need to see your strokes as 80-90% of the time you'll probably be doing work with larger volumes when it comes to sculpting. I've been using a really old Wacom Bamboo in zbrush for quite a while and for me its perfectly fine even for professional work.

I totally agree. I started on the Intuos Medium and used it for 4 years and bought a Huion 1080 display because I really wanted a display tablet and it was cool. The problem is the pen and my hand were in the way and the position I had to be in which just wasn't comfortable, and it looked pixelated since now days everything supports 4k. I ended up going back to the Intuos and stuck with it. I am using a 43in 4k smart TV whcih was $300 and my muscle memory is super comfortable on the Intuos.

Nice video! I just bought a Kamvas 24 Plus and got the same issue regarding the keyboard. I realize I'm 2 years late and you might have found a solution that fits you...but have you thought of using a Stream Deck like from the Elgato series? I plan to use an Elgato Stream Deck XL. I admit it's more expensive than just a small keyboard...but also much more versatile... Independent of the Stream Deck, I also thought about using an under-desk keyboard solution. The only problem is, my desk got a cross strut in the front underneath the desk top. So I cannot mount a keyboard holder to just slide in and out horizontally. It needs to be something that "folds out". But of course I also don't want a contraption that collides with my legs ;-). For a moment I was even crazy enough to think about using that wall mounted keyboard arm from Ergotron, with it being mounted to the wall underneath the table (I already use desk-mounted Ergotron.LX arms for the Kamvas and my 27" Dell U2711...)

been using an xp-pen artist 12 for about a year now, the only issue i've had is the cable socket coming loose and needing the cable to be taped in but i'm left handed and have to have the thing flipped so the cable is at an awkward angle (i use the buttons so i can have the zbrush ui almost entirely removed), other than the cable not had any issues with it at all and it does what i need it to do (12" screen is plenty when you go for a really minimalist ui)
