Hi

Since a few weeks I own a spacetraveler.. what a nice thing! why didn;t I buy one earlier.

I use it in both Maya and Cinema 4D.

however.. in maya you can disable the roll of the camera..

Hoe can do the same thing in cinema 4D! I would love to be able to disable the roll on my camera.. so I have one less DOF to worry about..

thanx

Peter

fixed it already!

So for all cinema users here's how to do it.

Create a manual camera so don;t use the editor cam.

Select the camera and add an xpresso node.
Now add a contant node set it to 0 and connect that to the rotate B of you camera!

viola.. now your camera cannot roll anymore.

So unless there is an easier way to do this.. this is a way to fix it.

Now all I need is support for mudbox!

cheers

Peter

I'm using the Space Navigator. In C4D, I can prevent roll by going to the Space Mouse manager, Navigate tab - Rotation: leave only H checked for Axis. I can still Zoom, Rotate around Y and go up & down, but no Roll. H controls Heading so rotation is around the Y Axis. P (Pitch) and B(Banking) can be controlled the same way.
