How to use a SpaceMouse for motion capture in 3ds Max
The following procedure describes how 3ds Max (application and plug-in) should be set-up to generate key frames using a SpaceMouse:
- Set the “Auto Key” option in 3ds Max;
- Open the settings menu in the 3Dconnection Home App
- Click on “Advanced Settings” for the SpaceMouse.
- In “Advanced Settings”, select “Other Options”.
- In “Other Options”, enable “Move Object” and “Autokey Animation.”
- Drag the Time Slider in 3DsMax to desired key frame and move selected object with SpaceMouse
This will drop keys at the appropriate key frame when moved.
