How to disable SPPro controller when rendering in 3ds max

Post by 3dcorner »

Hi

It is possible to disable automatically 3dconnexion controller when I hit render on 3ds max ??

The problem is that any touch of the controller move camera and renders look like a mess.

thanks

I know that it is possible to disable all transforms for camera but sometimes (usually) I forgot about this.
Best solution for this issue will be detecting that active 3ds max window is actually rendering something and software will disable 3d mouse navigation for this instance of 3ds max (or any other software with the same issue).

Hello 3dcorner,

I apologize for not responding to your request.

You can pause the input in the 3Dconnexion properties in the Advanced Settings -> Other Options. Enable the option "Pause motion". (This is described in our documentation.)

There is as well a command “Popup Menu” from the 3ds Max ->3Dconnexion category that you can map to a device button and pause motion from the popup menu that appears when you press that button.

Pausing motion cannot be done automatically.

If you suspend the input for 3ds Max you can still use the 3D Mouse in other apps.
