Maya 8.0 and Spacepilot

Post by ifog »

Hi ,

1) Could you tell me if SpacePilot is supported in Maya 8.0 (Linux) ?

2) Do you plan support for Blender ?

Thanks

Hi ifog, 3Dconnexion does not actively support Maya on Linux. We still distribute plug-ins for Maya 6 and Maya 6.5 on Linux but only in an "as-is" basis. We do not have a plug-in for Maya 8 on Linux.
Regarding Blender, 3Dconnexion provides an SDK for UNIX/Linux and we believe there are active projects to add support for our devices i Blender. You may want to check the Blender web site and their projects.

Well , looks like I made a mistake when I bought a Spacepilot .
Do you have a link to a documentation with the supported applications for each OS ?
Thanks

We appreciate your disappointment and, if you can, we'd like to ask you to bear it with us for a few days while we assess the current situation regarding Maya 8.0 on Linux.

3Dconnexion is currently revising the list of supported applications. This is a difficult task considering the possible combinations of applications, versions and operating systems.
