The innovative integration enables all 3Dconnexion features on all devices including SpaceMouse, CadMouse, Keyboard Pro, and Numpad.
3Dconnexion, the manufacturer behind SpaceMouse 3D mice, and Maxon, a software solutions company focused on 2D and 3D design, motion graphics, visual effects and visualization, have teamed up on a new solution for Cinema 4D. The new integration, available for both Windows and Mac users, ensures the availability of all 3Dconnexion features on all devices, including SpaceMouse, CadMouse, Keyboard Pro and Numpad. Through Cinema 4D, the company seeks to support creators throughout their entire workflow, with unified navigation and responsive features ranging across the entire application suite.
Through a series of new and improved software integrations, 3Dconnexion has recently expanded its offering to the digital content creation field for artists, 3D creators and game developers. SpaceMouse allows users to navigate effortlessly around models and scenes, while simultaneously activating application commands to speed up their workflows. The smooth rotations on 6 axes cannot be replicated with a standard mouse and keyboard, opening up new possibilities for camera moves.
The Cinema 4D solution adds to a portfolio of industry-standard software applications featuring full support for 3Dconnexion devices, such as Unreal Engine, Unity, ZBrush and many others, and is included in the latest 3Dconnexion driver – 3DxWare.
“Making sure that our users benefit from 3Dconnexion features to the fullest in Cinema 4D is a top priority for us,” said Robert Stadie, Product Manager at 3Dconnexion. “Our engineering teams have jointly put considerable effort into this integration, resulting in a superior solution including intuitive, flawless navigation with automatic center of rotation setting, significant performance improvements and full Cinema 4D command support.”
Antonio Pascucci, Chief Executive Officer at 3Dconnexion said, “Our products are designed to revolutionize the way users work, by streamlining and optimizing their workflow like never before. With our tools, we believe digital content creators will be able to improve their immersive creative experience by having fun, saving time, and ultimately achieving their goals faster.”
