3Dconnexion has announced its 3D navigation technology is now available in Autodesk Maya. According to 3Dconnexion, the intelligent 3D navigation technology automatically determines the optimal center of rotation based on the user’s point of interest. In addition, the center of rotation can be seen through an icon to give designers a reference point when controlling spin, tilt and roll motion.
Autodesk Maya users can switch among different intelligent 3D navigation modes including object mode, camera mode and target camera mode to suit their project or personal preferences. The rotation center calculation can be applied to the whole model or focused on a selected part. Further features are available including Lock Horizon, Move Objects and Autokey Animation.
In addition to 3D navigation, the latest driver update is also intended to streamline the 3Dconnexion 3D mouse user interface within Maya. By using the Menu or Panel button on the 3D mouse, a pop-up menu is activated to centralize all 3D mouse related options into one location.
