Why Alias Maya Users rely on 3Dconnexion

Powerful Navigation: Working with just a mouse forces you to constantly shift between navigation and editing. With a 3Dconnexion navigation device, you can simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate in one fluid motion. Navigation becomes second nature, so you stay totally focused on your work.

Tools and functions at your fingertips: Map any Maya function or tool to the 3D navigation device’s programmable speed keys and execute them without removing your hand from the device. You can even map hotboxes or marking menus you create to a programmable button.

Multitask in multiple windows: A navigation device gives you greater control for tasks requiring two or more windows, such as editing in an orthographic view while you navigate and inspect your design in a perspective window.

Animate from every angle: Perfecting your shot so that it looks great from every angle can take forever. With a 3Dconnexion navigation device, you can check it from every angle, while editing with your mouse. Your mouse hand adjusts while your other hand instantly delivers the perfect view with the navigator.

Get inside the scene: 3Dconnexion’s “application within your application” provides you with the ability to easily switch between camera and Scene Movement, Setting Center of Rotation, Enabling Auto Key Animation and other features. For example, create an animation with the navigation device by creating a camera, selecting Enable Auto Key Animation on the 3Dconnexion panel, and move the scene and object. You can playback your animation with the touch of a button.
