3Dconnexion Forum

Hi! I am glad to inform you that we have found the problem. It was one of our custom Maya plug-ins that connects our game engine with Maya. Yesterday we switched to a new version of engine and suddenly framerate is normal, yay :D I would like to thank you, Robert, for all your effort. It really surp...

Hi, Robert.

No, there is no difference when I hide the cameras.

When I move around with mouse I have 60 frames, so graphics driver refresh rate can't be the problem...

I have sent you video on the mail you gave me earlier.

Hello again!
I have discovered one more thing: When I have an animation playing in Maya, navigation speed with SN is perfect, just like with mouse - FPS is 60. When I stop the animation, FPS drop to 13 again. I will try to capture this on video.

Hi! In script editor I turned on echo all commands and now I see a lot of messages like this every time I move the camera: _3DxOnMotionEvent 0.000000 0.000000 -0.001302 0.000000 0.045573 0.000000; I didn't try this at home yet, so I don't know if this is the reason. But now I can't find where I can ...

I've sent you my directories. As I've wrote in the last mail: Me and two of my coworkers all have this same problem. But all of us have two almost identical computers - one with AMD CPU and one with Intel CPU. On all three computers that have Intel CPU space navigatros work fine. The low framerate p...

Update: In empty scene framerates are exactly:

- 60 fps when using mouse
- 17 fps when using space pilot

I tested with Fraps 2.9.3.

No, no errors in script editor.

It's much less then 60 fps, I'd say it's around 15 to 20. I will try to make a short video of the fps difference when using SP.

The "navigation" shelf is now gone, but the shelves are still rearranged in alphabetical order every time I restart Maya. I (kind of) fixed this by renaming my important shelves...
Thanks for your help

Yes, it also appears in Single Perspective View.

Same problem here... Thank god I read this thread before the problem occured so I tried this push-buttons-and-unplug trick.

I have the same problem in Maya 8.0. It's kind of annoying and it must be really simple to fix.
I don't see why navigation shelf must be some kind of non-deletable, non-standard part of UI...? And why does it have to override user's shelves settings?

I have a problem with Maya shelves since I installed 3dconnexion plugin for Maya. Navigation shelf with two buttons is added, one for space navigator configuration and one for help. Since both these buttons are also available in the top right corner of UI, there is no need to have extra shelf clutte...

Sorry, I meant he runs Maya 8.5.

My coworker just confirmed my observations - he has the same problem with his space navigator. His computer is the same as mine and he also runs Maya 8.0. We noticed that every selection of an object in the scene is followed by a very short performance boost (approximately 0.5 second) when camera tu...
