Is this pen good with 3D modeling, I'm looking between intuos and this which one would be better for 3D modeling, and some manga drawings.

The tablet is excellent for CAD and other modeling software, and as an owner of an intuos 3 it's on par or better in most respects. One small problem I ran into was getting the drivers to install correctly which required figuring out which driver is more recent, the CDs or the websites. I would try installing the CD driver first and then making sure there are NO electronic interferences with the tablet. Sometimes when I had aside my name tag for my studio that's magnetic, even from a foot or two away I had weird jitter. So be very careful with that.

I have not used any Adobe software on my Vivotab. I have SketchBook Pro on it though, and enjoy using the pen very much. The pressure sensitivity allows for a natural feel while drawing. The only occasional issue I have found is the pen and pointer/crosshairs being offset on the screen. I'm not sure if this is with only certain brush styles or not, and it may be able to be adjusted in the settings. Overall I have really enjoyed the experience of drawing directly on the screen rather than on a drawing tablet. I too was concerned about the pen when researching this tablet and considered upgrading to a better pen if it disappointed. For me, this pen is more than sufficient. I do wish the case had a built in pen pocket for it. I end up tucking it in a small pouch in the case to keep the pen with the tablet.

They fit very differently in your hand. To be fair I've only used a Bamboo stylus for desktop designing / with my Wacom. I have an Adonis stylus for iPad that's more like a pen, but I dislike the plastic disc at the point (to prevent damage / noise on screen contact). Pencil is my favorite for sketching, brainstorming and pulling together concept art on my iPad. I like the way it feels in my hand better.

It works as a mouse too, so not just in photoshop. You can use it for anything, once the pen is working it continues to work and act as a mouse in and out of photoshop. It works for everything.

It works good with the sketchbook for android app that I use on a dragon touch 10.1 inch tablet. I haven't finished complete sketches with it yet because of all the features that comes with it, but am able to color scanned or photographed pencil sketches from my portfolio. The only difference I'm unsure of is that I have a screen protector on my tablet and the pen to screen interaction might be a little off if you don't wipe your screen first since the tip is micro fiber. But all in all I think it's a good pen because it has a sharper and more visible point to allow fine long strokes, but depending on your software that can be easily fixed with zoom and a range of point size features.

This stylus would be great for taking notes, however there are cheaper options that would work just as well. The main feature of this one is that it has multiple levels of pressure sensitivity. This is great for drawing, but if you're only taking notes you might not need that feature. You could go with the Jot Flip, Jot Pro, & Jot Script.

Bamboo Create. It was my first tablet. I got it 5 years ago and it's still fully functional through all the years of wear and tear. It's not a huge one, but it's a nice size for beginners or hobbyists. The pen pressure levels aren't too bad either. It comes with two free art programs for Windows and Mac.

I'm a fine art photography and graphic design student. any of the cintiq's are worth the money I just invested in the cintiq 13hd and I love it. it makes creating and editing so much faster, precise and easier I wish I would have gotten one years ago. so yes its worth the money before I was using a wacom intuos 5 or a mouse and keyboard and it would take forever to get things right. With the cintiq I would say it has cut the time almost in half of what it use to take me to edit or create a design. Though you being an illustrator you my find the bigger cintiq's to be better for you if your use to using a bigger area to draw/create on.

The tablet is great. I love it. What you should be asking yourself is what software you'll be using because that ultimately will decipher whether or not it's difficult to draw anime. Last note, this tablet will do what you need it to do.

I use it for taking notes and it's very smooth. I have yet to find a stylus with a very thin tip that's made with this same material. I'm not an artist but I do draw sometimes with it and it works of me.

The PDF is pretty good, but not perfect. It is a smoothed vectorization based on the pen interacting with the sensors beneath the LCD screen, rather than a copy of what the LCD screen picked up. But, if you practice a little, you can tune your writing so it looks good on both.

Intuos has more pressure levels (1024 vs 512) and probably a higher resolution (not positive on that one). I haven't actually used an Intuos, but I do own a Graphire 3. If you're not a serious artist or aren't doing detailed work, a Graphire should suffice.

Yes, it is pressure sensitive, which is probably why the tips wear out so quickly. No experience with Android or Autodesk's Sketchbook.

It is small, but a little bulky. I would say you could sketch just fine as long as you had a support board behind your paper (as you can see there are cutouts on the easel). It's very portable and works best on a tabletop, though on your lap could work fine. My son uses it for sketches and has no real complaints other than sometimes the drawers will slide open a bit. It's fairly sturdy.

It is great for taking notes, onenote is awesome. You will want to buy another wacom pen with an eraser function though. I recommend the surface pro 2 pen. The pen that comes with it is nice because its attached to it, but its a little small and clumsy. As for PDF,it runs a full version of windows 8.1 so you can do anything you could do with a regular laptop. This blows the iPad out of the water with functionality.

No, the Maglus isn't good for drawing. When drawing, marks must be placed precisely. The exact place the stylustouches the screen is hidden UNDER the broad Maglus tip. Everyone is aware of that, surely.

My daughter she loves the Wacom Intuos she's in her third year Majoring art at U.C. Irvine. She hasn't had a problem yet. She has the smaller version, but I will invest in the larger version soon as she is comfortable with this one.
