3ds Max 2010

I closed the Rendered Frame Window and Render Setup Pane and it seems to work a lot better.

I might have spoke too quickly. It does at least work now, but only in wireframe. So there is still definitely more of a problem somewhere.

in "flat"view shading mode the device works well if you click orbit command before navigate your scene, i've assigned orbit command on the left button , in this way i can use it until new driver will be out.

Is the dev-team on holidays or what? I bought the Spacepilot Pro for 500€ (!) 4 weeks ago and couldn´t use it since. When I create a box - everything works fine, but when more objects are in the scene, the viewport just freeze - no movement at all.

I am using:

Vista64
8GB Ram
Geforce 8800 GTX
Matrox triple head
3dsmax design 2009 & 2010
SpacePilot Pro

When will there be a new driver available? If I can´t use the device with the next new driver, i will send it back to you.

a very annoyed customer.

Thanks for this. Whats about 3dsmax 8? I still need this product and support would be welcome. Or is there a workaround how I can get max 8 back working?

[rstadie]

Hi Malojo,

3ds Max 8 should work with a separate Plug-in which is also available in "3DxSoftware 3.7.16". Please verify that "3Dconnexion Plug-In for 3ds Max 6 - 8" is installed (Start->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs->3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware->Change->Modify)

Think yourself lucky, you could be one of the ********** who bought 2 Spaceball 4000 FLX's @ £400+ EACH, only to be ********** by the company I gave the money to.

So every time something new comes out, I have to spend time trying to hack a fix together because these ********** have "invented" some money making excuse, to abandon paying customers. I bought a brand new motherboard 1 month ago with a Serial port, yet these ********** insist motherboard manufacturers don't support serial ports now.

Then again, I suspect we never get to speak to the **********, just the ********** they send on the forums.

If I ever have to upgrade, I will be damned sure to buy second hand, so the profits don't go in pockets of these **********.

Hi all,

I'm a long time user of 3D max & am currently trailing the space explorer.

Great product however I have an issue with my quick views on the product... when used each key ( T L R or F) my view zooms into either the gizmo of my selected item or the scenes home grid. I then have to hit FIT to get my object to a view from which I can comfortably work on.

Now i can adjust the view cube to automatically “fit-to-view on view change" but not my Space Explorer...???

Can anyone help me out to make the Explorer "fit-to-view" on view change?

[rstadie]

Hi Designmonkey79,

Can you use keyboard shortcuts to switch e.g. to the Top-View you want to work in? Then it would be easy to create a custom function that does exactly what you want.

What happens if execute the following keystrokes:

Code: Select all

T U

and then

Code: Select all

CTRL+Shift+Z

If this works for you, just create a new custom function containing these keystrokes and you have your favorite "Top"-View:

A) Start 3ds Max and leave it in the foreground

B) Open 3Dconnexion Control Panel (Start-Programs-3Dconnexion-3Dconnexion 3DxWare)

C) Go to the "Button Configuration" tab and open "Custom Functions..."

D) Create a new Custom Function (Macro) with the name "TopView-custom"

E) Click in the "User Macro" box and execute the keystrokes you want (Save->Done->OK)

F) Restart 3ds Max

G) Open the 3Dx Button Mapping Editor inside of 3ds Max

You will then find the new Macro you created in the "3DxWare" category - just assign it to the "T" button.


Is this what you were looking for?

Hi rstadie,

Thanks for taking the time to look at this... however hitting T in max has the same issue as the 3D mouse shortcut, i still have to hit zoom extents to get the model in view.

Only the View cube is giving me the soloution i want (top view & zoom to selected eztents all in one hit) however this means using my regular mouse & i wish to use the shortcut keys on the 3D mouse.

Can you help any further..?

[Designmonkey79]

Hi rstadie,

OK tried again & now understand how Macros work, i now have the buttons giving me T L R F with zoomed extents ( Macro TZ) this is great in my orthographic view however in my perspective view its giving me the T L R F in orthographic also & not perspective.

When using my space mouse to navigate round me model from here I’m still in my plan face, I understand I could use the Macro TUZ however this would leave me with navigating in orthographic view & no perceptive as I wish.

I need the view with zoom extents but perspective in my perspective view & plan in my plan view... does this make sense if so can you offer a solution..?
