you controll photoshop with a wiimote?

I was just asking myself that same question O.O'

yesh :3

dpad
left = b/brush
right = e/eraser
down = space/hand tool
up = g/bucket tool

minus = esc
plus = shift

A = alt
B = ctrl

1 = Z (for undo)
2 = T (for free transform)

The rest I just use the tools window :3

I'm still getting used to it all since I just got this over the weekend hehe

is it pressure sensitive?
and how did you do this ?

yeah the tablet laptop has wacom digitizer with pressure sensitivity.
it is pretty much wacom integrated into it.

Most new laptop comes with bluetooth now, and that's how I hook the wiimote up to it.

on the wiimote if you press 1+2, it will put the wiimote into seeking mode (or whatever) and then you can discover the wiimote with your bluetooth. Then you pair them up. (you have to do it fast the first time. before the wiimote stop blinking)

After it's all paired up, Windows treats it as a HID device (like keyboard/mouse)

I used Glovepie to map the wiimote to keyboard keys.
That was the hard part because most tutorials are useless for people who just want to start keymapping keyboard keys to the wiimote lol.

thats awesome

It's just CRAZY!
Didn't think the wiimote could ever be used in photoshop.
I gotta try it asap!

eh, I still prefer good ole keyboard shortcuts.
Wiimote is the next best thing. I only use it because when I draw, I flip the screen around and use it in tablet mode. Doing that doesn't give me access to the keyboard :)

I see; anyway that's a great trick. :3

Finally someone figured out you can bridge the gap between the two platforms. Just think, you can control a lot of games that way on PC now. Just a kind suggestion from your friendly neighborhood white hacker

That's...fucking...neat! I'm in awe over your powers!

I have never been able to find anything to get glovepie to work with the Wiimote. I can never get farther than pairing the wiimote.

What on earth did you do?

how did you pair the wiimote?

I'm actually not having luck trying it again, but I'd just gone through the add bluetooth device wizard and skipped the code pairing per my instructions.

It's actually hanging up at this step this time around and nothing happens when I press "skip".

actually to me the hardest part is pairing the wiimote to my laptop lol.
why don't you msg me sometimes on aim "kumaooki"

We'll see if I can help you out.

WOO FOR TABLET PCS! *high 5* (owns Gateway)

I want all of these things! ;D;

I did too!

Yeay... M finally has a desk! Hehehe. (Now ask for iphone.)

I have ipodtouch. that's fine with me

Oh yeah, I forgot.

dude, epic win on the desk and laptop XD

Kinky, but I like the idea =D

*huggle*
Sponi

Orange Soda <3

just the act of being able to draw where you see (or almost) is just wonderful in itself :)

Been thinking of getting the HP Tx2110 or Toshiba M700 actually. What do you think of your lappy and the digitizer on it?

it has all the usual problems tablet laptop has but I like it. I think I'll do a mini review about it in the next journal.

Oh shit, I spot Vista. And a Tablet PC? Noice.

hehe they're both vista.
I think vista has better support for tablet input?

Oh. Ha! Two computers I thought that was just a secondary display for your laptop, silly me.

I also have a tablet and desktop, both Vista. At the very least they improved handwriting recognition, and I think they tried to improve stuff like flicks and such. So yeah, they did improve the tablet input. Say what you want about Microsoft, they keep trying to improve natural input :)

thats pretty awesome there, buddy :P

Is it sad that I recognize the Skandia components from the Container Store?

it's pretty distinctive ;) if you're familiar with it that is :D

gero gero gero!!!

iza susume~

BAH! i dont know the rest

it's ok. I only googled that

it sounded familiar but i wasn't sure... so i googled it too.

it's the opening theme lyrics of the first 51 episodes of Keroro Gunso

i know. i just have'nt watch any of it in a while.

i just love tamama's attacks. cool names'n'shit.

Way to go!
having two computers would be great, I could watch movies while working that way. *dream*

but then you wouldn't really be working!

hehe. just get another old monitor and do multiple monitor

so you did the little trick with the wii control :3 great

Awesome setup! That Wiimote setup for Photoshop is too sweet :3

So...the orange soda in an orange cup...I would like to know what you put in your blue cups. :-D

Dr. Hank McCoy's cum

I wonder if Macs are compatible with Wii Motes too. That's amazing. I'm jealous, yet, I'm content with what I have.

This is what my inner self says:

"AAAAARGH! I'm so fucken' jealou-eeeeh, whatever."

Yeah, but it's a different program for mac :3

Ah yeah? Do you know what it is? Because I wanna hook it all up and everything! It's a Mac Book Pro if that helps too.

You are my Godsend dude. I must draw you with my Wii mote as thanks.

But for another time, I have too many projects to do right now, haha.

cleanest workspace ever!

yeah it's been my work space for all of 3 days lol

so plenty of room for improvement!

So did your boi do this all for ya?

yeah! he's so awesome :3

so cooool! :D

hehe yes, I'm totally giddy

Nice set up! Never would've thought the wiimote could do that.

I'm looking into getting one of that series of laptops myself by the weekend. Either the 1410 or the 2120.

at the place we were at, the 2110 was actually cheaper than the earlier version lol

Now that's something. :) I'll have to look for that. Right now the earlier version is about $100 cheaper than the two newer ones here.

Ikea Ivar for the win!

Most of my furniture is Ivar. :)

You're using a TX2110? Is that touch or wacom or are you using a separate pad for the digitiser?

I just got a Tosh M700 with hybrid touch/wacom screen - still trying to get the hang of drawing right on the screen. :)

it's both touch/wacom just like yours :)
and it's actually Container Store's Skandia Desk/Shelf unit. Who knows maybe they're both the same haha

Ivar was the original name for it. Every few years the "revitalise" a line and give it a new name. :)

Man, when did HP come up with a hybrid? Rats... I might have bought that one rather than the Tosh.... Oh well. :)

oh wait.. Container Store? We don't have those up here. I guess it's their Ikea clone furniture - looks EXACTLY like mine. :)

:)

Actually, Ikea is the ripoff of the original Lundia shelving, sold out of Germany since about World War II.

Now then...is it more sad that I know this, or that I'm bothering to reply in a topic that's a year old?

now I see Wii motes are for every use, including eggs wipping

very cool myspace

You know what else that Wiimote is good for?

PERFECT HEADSHOTS

Now I need to go out and buy a WiiMote...

You just gained +5 Awesome.

I think you're maxed out now. O:

SuperGrisserJin4!!!

Tablet laptop!? Awesome!
Orange soda!? Great!
Wii Control!? Outrageous!

If they had that model for sale here, I would have gotten it -

I have a HP Pavilion dv6750ew instead, which is pretty good, just sans wacom :P

What tablet did you use before you got this?

Wacom Graphire II  Aster got for me for my birthday like in 2001 haha. the smallest one :)

Wow, and to think I remember some of your work from back then. I wonder what difference the new stuff will make :)

it's more like catching up.
The tablet laptop allow me to draw more naturally.
The painting/color wouldn't change one bit hehe, and since alot of the line art are already done on paper, I guess that won't change much neither haha.

You use a wiimote for photoshop? WHAT THE--THAT'S AMAZING

Congratulations man!
and I hate you for having all this cool stuff I can't afford X3

I really envy all that ;o;
Congraulations for it :3

I KNEW orange soda was the secret behind your technique

Awesome setup, but just ooooone comment.

why in the wooorld would it say " I love mi boyfriend" in the big open space under the desk in front of your chair? Is there some relation between that space and your boyfriend?

*looks innocent, and laughs*

Hows the tablet pc? That was my other choice, i went with the C-142 xl (gateway) in the end. Do you get that slightly off curser from the pen depending on where the pen is on the screen too?

That's normal. there's a layer of thick seethrough material between where you're writing and the screen itself for protection.

agh, your workspace looks awesome! :)
