Wacom Pressure Sensitivity not working

[ndee85]

I use a wacom Intuous 4.
Pen Pressure doesn't seem to work under windows 7.

i think you haven't installed wacom tablet browser plugin yet.
meanwhile, since Chrome will be phasing out NPAPI support in late 2014, that used in wacom plugin, sculptgl may have to drop pen pressure support :(

ah.. sorry for that.. Didn't know there was a browser plugin... Will try it!
Thanks for the comment!

ok.. pressure is working now for me... the only problem I have now is that the brush is not displayed when working with the pen... :-(
Or it is somehow displayed veeeery small.. don't know what the exact issue is..

Once you start sculpting the brush radius disappear and then there's only a dot, maybe it's that.
As @disjukr said, if it is using NPAPI then I'll have to drop it somedays.
Hopefully, they'll be alternatives... but I don't think there's a lot of web application that needs pen tablet support (for now at least).

@stephomi
ok.. the problems seems to be when I release the pen the default size of the brush doesn't gets restored.
It stays the last size it had. Which can be almost 0 when releasing the pen. Thats why the brush is not visible.

Ah I see.
But with Chrome dropping NPAPI and me not owning a pen tablet, I think I'll keep that way for now :(.

so wacom can't be used now anymore? there's no way to enable it?

[disjukr]

@naomik chrome now supports PointerEvent (since chrome 55. current stable version is 56). so we can make sculptgl to support tablet pen pressure by using PointerEvent instead of NPAPI.

Thanks for the heads up!
I had no idea it was released, I just added the support :).

I don't have a wacom tablet, so I can't really test.
But I tested it on my nexus 5x, and it does work! (though the pressure is infered from the surface area rather than true pressure)
