Rotation issues within Mudbox 2013

Post by Gallystops »

Great product!

I have one issue though. I just purchased Mudbox 2013 and the pan and zoom features work fine but I cannot rotate around the scene nor the object. Anyone have a similar issue? If so how may can I fix it?

Thank you!

Dear Gallystops

How do you normally select a rotation point in Mudbox?

Any of these ways work?

* View->Fit to view (Ctrl F), the pivot will move to the center of the scene/selection
* Ctrl Shift Alt left mouse button click somewhere on the object, and it will position that pivot where you clicked.
* View->Show Steering Wheels, then use the “Center” tool to interactively drag and position the pivot.

Sincerely,
Bryan

Thanks, Bryan.

These different options are meant to manually move with my keyboard and mouse. That works fine. I was wondering abut the 3D Navigator not being able to rotate freely around my scene.
Maybe I was unclear in my previous post :?

Dear Gallystops,

What do you mean by not being able to rotate around the scene?

When you select a rotation point, do you not experience some rotation about that point?

Are you talking about a camera mode within Mudbox?

Sincerely,
Bryan

Soooo. I booted it up and the rotation works right off the bat. Maybe I had to restart my computer after installing updates.

All good here!
