Setting up the Cintiq Pro 16

Recently I added the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 to my armory of pen tablets. Of form I was intrigued by it'south slim size and huge 4K resolution (actually it is UHD running at a maximum resolution of 3840 10 2160). For me information technology's chief usage will be when working on scribbles and storyboards simply also when precise retouching and refining of photos and textures is necessary.

During my first setup I continued power via information technology's USB-C connector to the left side of the Cintiq Pro sixteen. Then I connected the USB-C cable to my MacBook Pro (2016) and plugged the other end in to the right port of the Cintiq, simply to discover, that this mode it was not giving me the total 4K resolution. Trying out dissimilar ports on the Cintiq Pro I plant that only the top left port supports the full 4K resolution.

Beingness in touch on with Wacom we decided to create a short illustrated tutorial to communicate this procedure more than clearly. I decided to create the scene in 3D using CINEMA 4D. I carefully bundled the 3D models of a MacBook Pro and the Cintiq Pro on the virtual desk and created a texture and shader setup that gives the whole image an nigh illustrated simplistic look that allows the viewer to focus on how to connect the cables.

Everything was rendered and so taken in to Photoshop for further adjustments. Last but not least round crops, text and the general layout was done in Illustrator.

Hopefully this curt and quick tutorial will help fellow creatives to get the most out of this amazing new product.
