 If there's one thing that doesn't exist in this world, then it's good drawing tablet drivers. No matter if you get a cheap tablet or an extremely expensive Wacom Cintiq, you will come to despise the drivers with all your soul sooner or later.

 ## Overview
 This page covers all possible ways to achieve modeling and sculpting tasks. There's no reason to only stick to Blender, ZBrush, Maya, Plasticity or any other 3D software, thanks to bridge tools like GoB / GoZ, which allow for instantaneous transfer of the entire model or only selected parts of the model between different software.
 
-Blender, ZBrush and Maya are covered here, other software like Plasticity, Marvelous Designer, 3D Coat adn more will maybe also be added at some point.
+Grouping the features of different software side by side, should also make it very to pick up the other software if one is already familiar with one of them.

 **Remapping Keys?**<br>
 One should try to keep hotkey remapping to a minimum, and only remap things that are necessary because of ones hardware setup for example. The reason for that, is that when using complex software like these, it's good to be as close to stock as possible. This allows one to immediately work on any machine without having to set up everything first and when software evolves over the years, it often changes how workflows and features work, adding removing and changing hotkeys, in which case managing ones own custom hotkeys can be a pain, especially when using lots of 3D software.
