Advanced Member otsoa Posted September 1, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi ! I plan to buy this: http://retail.contou...om/?/products/5 Do you think I could navigate in the 3D view like Spacenavigator (rotation and sculpt same time)!? sorry for my bad english.

Member Gravin Posted September 1, 2012 Member Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I think this product is intended as a scrubbing controler for audio and video editing with some extra buttons, not really the same as a 3d mouse like the spacenavigator though it does look similiar astheticly.

Carlosan Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 There is a review here about http://alatest.co.uk/reviews/mouse-pointing-device-reviews/contour-shuttlexpress-multimedia-controller-5-button-s-wired-usb-black/po3-34195816,63/ Contour ShuttleXpress 3D Input Device Excellent piece of kit. I use it in Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Reason, 3ds Max and Mudbox, and it has increased my workflow, no end. Easy to set up. Highly recommended. --------- In the Contour forum there is an information asking how to use it in zbrush http://forums.contourdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3311 We just wrote to Pixologic about developing settings for zBrush --------- warning: May be you need software implementation to use it. --> to Ask 3DC support about it ? ---------------------- Another warning Q: I installed the Shuttle driver for Windows 7/Vista, the Windows hibernation feature does not work properly. Is there a fix for that? A: There is an incompatibility with our Shuttle hardware and Windows 7 and Vista which causes hibernation issues. Unfortunately it cannot be remedied with an update to the driver. We have changed manufacturers and there is a new version of the Shuttle Pro v2 that has been released which will resolves this issue. http://forums.contourdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted September 1, 2012 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I would instead recommend trying a 3DConnexion device. I haven't seen anything even remotely close to it. If price is an issue, they have different models, plus you should be able to find a SpacePilot (discontinued top model...but still has much more functionality than the 2nd best current model...SpaceExplorer) for very cheap ($50-75). They are designed to work in 3D Applications. The Shuttle is not. It is designed to provide Video Editors and similar application type users, a device that puts most of their hotkeys at their fingertips. SpacePilot does the same thing, except it has a puck as a 3D joystick of sorts. The puck is effectively the object in the screen. You push it, pull it, orbit it around, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 //OT wait ! any1 has used a game joystick to emulate 3d navigation inside 3DC ? ----- some links http://www.deinmeister.de/joycur_e.htm http://atzitznet.no-ip.org/Joy2Mouse3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member otsoa Posted September 2, 2012 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I wanted the SpaceNavigator SE but ContourDesign with button is good to draw with my tablet (for shorcut) and for my DAW (Reaper). I try Joy2Mou3 but I dont found the setting (ALT+LMB). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
