3dsmax with a tablet PC using Artdock

During my Christmas holidays Ifigured I would spend a couple of hours trying 3dsmax on a tablet PC. Using a nice little autohotkey app called ArtDock, if you have a windows tablet you can find the download at the link below

I was surprised at how quickly I adjusted to not using a mouse and keyboard to software like max, but because most hotkeys aside from shift are on the side panel I barely missed either. I spent a couple of hours modeling a metal slug tank


The whole process of only using a tablet stylus in max has left me wondering if its worth switching back to using a mouse which is quite clunky for navigating 3d space.
