Re: 3dsMax Wackiness Caused by SME Buttons?

OK, I finally got it working properly again... not sure exactly what was wrong but it's working. When MAX got corrupted by pressing any SME button, the cursor changed to a white arrow with a minus sign next to it. That is the cursor for 'unselecting' an object which is ALT+click or ALT+drag. When I ...

Re: 3dsMax Wackiness Caused by SME Buttons?

I should also note... When any key on the SpaceMouse Enterprise is pressed, the current MAX session is corrupted and doesn't work properly. But if I change the focus to another app (say for example a text editing app or whatever) and then return the focus back to MAX... MAX functions totally fine un...

Re: 3dsMax Wackiness Caused by SME Buttons?

OK... it gets weirder. Much weirder. Yesterday when I was troubleshooting this problem, I was in Win10 and the SpaceMouse Enterprise was corrupting MAX sessions in MAX2020 and MAX2021. (The SME on Win10 uses the 10.7.1 driver) After I was finished troubleshooting this HUGE UNRESOLVED PROBLEM... I bo...

3dsMax Wackiness Caused by SME Buttons?

Windows10, 3dsmax 2020/2021, 3DxWare 10.7.1.3280. I have a workstation which is a dual-boot system... Windows 7 and Windows10. In either OS, I can choose to boot the system with various amounts of cores... up to 40 cores. MAX2020 and MAX2021 are installed on both OS. I had installed the SME drivers ...

Re: Space Explorer Enterprise and Win7

Yeah... and Autodesk and Epic Games managed to not insert nannyware into their software because they recognized that many customers pipelines might still be using Windows7 regardless of Microsoft's EOL statements. No one is asking for Windows2000 to be continued to be supported, but Windows7 is a di...

Re: Space Explorer Enterprise and Win7

I should also note that yesterday, the latest version of MAX was installed on Windows7 and today the latest version of Unreal was installed on Windows7... without complaint.

Thanks.

Space Explorer Enterprise and Win7

I have a Space Explorer Enterprise which works great with Windows7 and MAX2020 (and previous versions of MAX). There are hundreds of apps on this workstation which function perfectly in Windows7 and I don't really plan to perturb the system or my pipeline by upgrading to a newer OS. I installed MAX2...

3dsMax Button Config Between Versions

SME/Driver 10.6.0 OK, so now I can set the SME buttons and save the configs... great. But one annoying thing is... If I setup the buttons as desired (and at the moment were talking only buttons 1-6) in MAX2014, they work fine. But when I open MAX2020, the buttons are setup properly and work fine exc...

Re: New SpaceMouse Ent - Empty 3dsMax Button Tab?

OK, finally got it sorted. I believe that there were leftover SpacePilot config folders/files that was causing the problem. I uninstalled the 3DConnexion software. Then deleted the 3DConnexion folders from appdata>local>etc. Rebooted the system. Installed the 10.5.15 driver and the SME worked proper...

Re: New SpaceMouse Ent - Empty 3dsMax Button Tab?

OK, I installed driver 10.6.0. Started MAX2014 and went to button config and all the 3dsMax options were there. Programmed the top row of buttons to MAX functions. Proper function icons displayed on the SME. Went to go save the settings and the dialog seems to freeze for a long time... if I change f...
