There's also a 10x6.25 for $41, I was going to get it but I wanted one big enough to fit a sheet of paper. It's fun making cartoony textures with a tiling canvas and a tablet...

(first part is just my guess. u could just try virtualiziation) I think bamboo linux works, but the pressure sensitivity driver does not work

I think (for me at least): 2 monitors. A very good speaker rig (to listen music....) A very good mouse (ergonomic one) PixPlant 2 (thanks Traa1703 for remind me) ZBrush 4 (I know is expensive, but is completely worth it) The marmoset toolbag(a really cool realtime renderer) And a loooooooot of books, also if you can, all the Blender Foundation DVD´s theyre quite fantastic...

The marmoset toolbag(a really cool realtime renderer)

And a loooooooot of books, also if you can, all the Blender Foundation DVD´s theyre quite fantastic…

Never looking back to merely mousing it again--though, I still use mousing for some things (it's best to embrace all options). I recommend it if you can afford it (I starved for a week to get it), but I hear some good reviews about Genius graphic tablets as a good affordable alternative. I am also getting the book, and I want a subscription to 3D world to save me some money instead of buying them individually! :) I would also recommend 3D artist purchasing an external hard drive for storing highly-detailed digital sculptures, high-resolution textures, large Blender files, etc. (you can get a decent 320 GB HDD for about $60 now). Those files can eat up a lot of storage space rather quickly, and once you get a tablet, expect to makes larger files twice as fast! Bought a Wacom Intuos4 Small graphics tablet for $200.

I instead got Genetica 3 and was super impressed. It's node-based, has seamless texture generation, and has LOTS more features. I offer it at a discount through my site (click on my name). If anyone thinks that's too much of a sales pitch then they can always buy straight from Spiral Graphics at less of a discount. Either way, it's an AWESOME program. Hi Andrew,
