Is there a way to control/pilot a camera in unreal with space mouse?

Post by keyframe_L »

Hi everyone,

I just tried my space mouse compact in unreal engine 5.03 and the viewport controls are great but it seems like you cannot control a cine camera you are piloting with the space mouse. It just doesn't move anything in the camera view.

Is there a way to enable spacemouse control for cameras in UE or is that a known limitation?

Thank you!

Did you get an answer to this? Piloting cameras in UE was the primary reason I purchased the Spacemouse, but I can't get it to work either.

Thanks!

Hi Guys, Same here, purchased the mouse with controlling the cameras in mind. Everyone I know is using Cinecams in UE instead of the traditional "perspective" viewport mode.

I have also used the 3rd Party Plugin from David Moras on Epic Marketplace but it seems to clash with original settings.

Any updates 3Dconnexion team?

Thanks!
Jakub

There's a new camera actor control feature in the add-in for Unreal Editor.

More details here.

Is there a new version out yet for unreal 5.2?

Or a way to get the plugin working?

Sorry I meant to quote that.. to loop you in. Any idea when we can expect support for 5.2?
or is there a work around?

I am using the enterprise model in this case …but i suspect we need a driver update from 3dconnexion for 5.2
