Cool, good to hear! In the meantime, I've rolled back to the Cinema 4D Siggraph demo and have my SpaceNavigator working again. It's very difficult to go back to the 1, 2, 3 keys for navigation once I've felt this freedom! And FWIW I've found that I feel most comfortable navigating when I set all the...

Actually, with the new version of the demo (the one where you can save for 42 days), my Space Navigator has suddenly stopped working too. It was working fine in the Siggraph (non-saving) version of the demo, but the moment I let the onboard updater grab the new version for me today, it stopped respo...

One thing that I had to stumble upon is that in the C4D layout you must have the 3D Mouse dialog open somewhere for the Space Navigator to be recognized (perhaps docked behind some other tab). Once it's open then things work. Could that be what you're running up against? A major problem with that de...

That's true. I'll probably stop worrying about the unlocked Y axis once I gain enough skill to stop finding the world turned upside-down after particularly unsuccessful navigation attempts...

I'd love to lock the Y axis like we're used to in C4D. This is kinda like it used to be modeling in LightWave. :wink: But I figure I'll get my sea legs first, then by the time the upgrade officially arrives I'll know more what I really want, then I can file a a coherent enhancement request via Maxon...

Anybody watching over my shoulder would still probably get seasick, but I'm slowly getting a handle on navigating around with it. This is great!

Okay, Thanks to Rui Gato's post about ControllerMate, I've whipped up a preliminary setup that maps the SpaceNavigator to Cinema 4D. It's still more than a bit clumsy, but it is mostly functional, so if you have ControllerMate, feel free to download the setup file from my web site and play around wi...

Thank you Rui! ControllerMate worked great, and was an immediate $15 purchase. I just pieced together a setup to work with Cinema 4D, so that should be enough to keep me sane until the native plugin shows up.

Excellent tip!

I just got my SpaceNavigator from Amazon (Japan) today, and I'm getting the exact same thing as tvalleau -- the QTVR movie works if I go to another QTVR movie first, but not right off.

Just to let you know it's not just one person running into this!

I've sent my request to Maxon support as well. Let's hope now that the R10.1 update is complete that they might allocate some support for SpaceNavigator support. Especially since they (?) already made the needed plugin on the Windows side of the fence. Though the way chromerhino's reply from Maxon t...
