Cintiq/iPad Pro (Astropad) multitouch multi dragger (Character Animator)

I’ve tried the Wacom cintiq13 and the iPad Pro, with astropad for external display capabilities from your Mac (works beautifully I have to say), and I cant seem to figure out how to get either to respond to multiple limbs (Or dragger points) in Character Animator. it’s mentioned once or twice in the forums that the cintiq has the capability. Any tips would be much appreciated.

    There are a lot of different Cintiq models and we haven't tested them all but...conceptually it should work.

    • Are you able to get multitouch working in other apps?
    • Is there a way to enable/disable multitouch in the Wacom settings app? Or is there a button on-device that allows for this?
    • Are the drivers up to date?

    Sounds like the OP got it to work with the Cintiq, ya? You mention 13HD? I didn't even think that had touch support. I was looking into the Cintiq Pro 13. But was also really curious about Astropad, if that allows you to drag both hands. I've never gotten it to work.

    Alright I’m not sure why but it works now, checked all that but  didn’t change anything from the first time I tried it, but yea, it’s awesome now (Maybe hooking and unhooking hardware created an issue). Looks very good though on the cintiq 13 HDT.

    Thx for the response, sorry for the trouble.

    ps i appreciate All those tips and tricks! Life changers
