bc Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well, having just now set up my new Space Mouse (wireless) I must say it looks like way more fun than it actually is for the newbie. Right now I am having trouble determining my Axes based on where I am in the model and where I am looking. If I am underneath an object and I am looking "up" (based on ground plane) and want to move toward my object, do I want to go up? Down? or In? Out? This gets real screwy inside DG's model where the entire screen is the object color. Maybe a texture or surface hatch could help with orientation? I am not sure when or if my little pea brain can produce the fluidity of DG's demos. I'll keep plugging away. I have set my overall speed to low, all trigger thresholds to moderate and specific mouse speeds to low. I suppose like most everything, it's a matter of experience. Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 bc, the puck is basically your head (if its set up in walk-thru mode) picture it as if you had control of a "Ken" doll head instead of a puck if you want to look up you just tip his head back, look down... tip forward BUT when you SLIDE (no tipping) then its like walking slide forward to walk forward etc Quote Link to comment
bc Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Ouch! That's it. You have to be in walkthrough. Sheesh. Now things are much better. This mouse is great. Real smooth action. Anyway I'm ready for the next task !? Edited April 1, 2017 by bc Quote Link to comment
digitalcarbon Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 can you make a video of your work and post? Quote Link to comment
bc Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Sorry, no can do. But I can say that my skill level is "C" at best. I find myself suddenly off in space at times. I've been at this all of a few hours now. I find myself wanting to just click drag everything once I am in position instead of freely flying around everywhere as per your video. Once the construction was completed I ended up deleting a goodly amount of the grey "floor" blocks and creating a "maze" for me to navigate. Quote Link to comment
bc Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 OK be careful what you ask for. Newbie to Space Mouse, newbie to quicktime. maze_2.mov Quote Link to comment
