If you work all day in 3D software such as Unreal, sooner or later you will either configure your workstation or go mad - pushing and rotating the mouse is easy, but neither efficient nor comfortable. Not to mention the ergonomics. But wouldn't it be great if there was a device that was built to move in 3D? And that would work natively with Unreal?
Mac computers are associated with ease of use and creativity. But navigating 3D applications with a standard mouse and keyboard requires many repetitive steps.
Whether for film visual effects, game design, animation or visualisation, CAD and DCC users can now design and navigate precisely in Autodesk 3ds Max 2008 and Maya 2008 with 3Dconnexion’s SpaceNavigator, SpaceTraveler, SpacePilot and SpaceExplorer 3D mice.
Dieter Neujahr has been responsible as President of 3Dconnexion since the summer of this year. Neujahr, who had served as Vice President Sales & Marketing and General Manager EMEA at 3Dconnexion since December 2006, is taking over worldwide management of the company in his new function as President.
3Dconnexion’s innovative 3D mice are now compatible with SolidWorks 2008. SpaceNavigator, SpaceExplorer, SpacePilot and SpaceTraveler enable SolidWorks users to control and navigate their 3D models intuitively and powerfully throughout the design and engineering process.
The 3D mice from 3Dconnexion now support Nemetschek Allplan 2008, a leading 3D design software for Building Information Modeling (BIM). SpaceNavigator?, SpaceTraveler?, SpacePilot? or SpaceExplorer? enable architects and civil engineers to control 3D models in Allplan easily and precisely, thus ensuring an optimal workflow in planning, implementation and visualization.
The 3D mice from 3Dconnexion now support Blender, a free open-source software package for Digital Content Creation. With the 3D mice, Blender users design, model, texture and animate interactive three-dimensional content more easily and quickly than with only a standard mouse and keyboard.
Conventional mice are only conditionally suitable for navigating precisely within three-dimensional spaces –even if users have come to terms with input devices restricted to only two axes. The 3D controllers point to a new way. Dieter Neujahr, President of 3Dconnexion, provides DIGITAL PRODUCTION with information about their 3D mice.
Boxx Technologies starts a new promotion today: Until April 22, customers who order a Boxx workstation online will additionally receive a valuable package of useful software and hardware tools.
