Actually I don't ensure that the view always intersects the terrain - it can float above (and be pushed below), but it is indicated through a small semi-transparent sphere (which grows as you move around the terrain - and shrinks to zero when you stop moving... that way the player sees their rotatio...

Thanks! I mostly use the target-camera control with the 3D mouse (the WASD for inside the robot seems a bit more natural for an FPS game still - maybe once I get into space combat robots, the 3D mouse will re-gain its advantage). The pivot point for the flying camera actually rests on the terrain an...

It makes a ton of sense to have a 3D mouse for a 3D RTS, because it lets you pan and rotate around the terrain in a much more precise manor (es...

Thank you! Ahh, well that is interested. I did try to change the java profile when I was running my application, but upon further digging (making a brand new profile) I found a different java instance running (java.exe vs javaw.exe) and changing the mouse to be in full 3d mode there fixed the proble...

I have found a quick hack to fix my issue for the time being; polling the mouse scroll wheel if the tilt axis on the space navigator doesn't register as neutral - this effectively clears the mouse scroll (because I poll it again later). So this isn't a real fix, but effectively users won't notice th...

My program helps me create animations with character models - here is a pic: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m602d8BBaJ1r143jv.png I just implemented some code to enable my space navigator so I could pan an...
