 Rating:  - This is a job specific tool1st make sure you read all other reviews. They all have pertinent information. I'm a mechanical product developer for the aerospace industry. Using Solidworks for 3D modeling and Mastercam for programming CNC machining centers, I find the Space Navigator priceless. I do own the Space Pilot, and the Space Traveller and the Space Navigator. All are worthy of their intended capability. So if you need to design/model intriquete parts where you need to explore inside cavities to confirm interaction ...

I'm not a creative writer and I dont use Google Earth :) I'm a dedicated 3D modeller in the animation and games industry. For those professionals out there pondering the all important question; this product will NOT speed up your workflow. Having to move your hand back and forth between the keyboard and this joystick will only break your workflow, especially if you use keyboard shortcuts extensively. What this product does is merely replace the "sticky ... Read More Rating:  - Not for Maya Users BUT a very handy $$ paperweight.I recently purchased the Space Navagater and was impressed by it's sleek style and response BUT if you're using it in Maya 3D it will grind even the most powerful CPU to a halt.I have a quad core G5 with 6 gigs of RAM. I work in Maya as a CG artist and instead of drivers this thing uses mel scripting to function and will choke your system full of callback info and become useless and unuseable after about 2 minutes of use. The company claims on the box it works well with Maya well it simply doesn't. Someday ... Read More Rating: - Not bad, but not greatI confess, I'm a bit of a Luddite. However, the product promised ease of use for beginners to experts, and so I gave it a shot. I am using Windows XP, and followed the instructions for the installation. I will say, it *was* easy to install, and the tutorial was easy to follow. The demos, however, were a different story. It was easy to move things, but not to move this precisely, or purposefully. For example, the cube. Six-sided, different colour on each side. It was easy to make the cube fade into the ... Read More Rating: - Outstanding 3D control (where supported)!I was skeptical of this device at first, and probably did not need the so-called Standard Edition (but the price was acceptable either way). I am a Mac user, and since 3DConnexion only released Mac Drivers for the SpaceNavigator a few months ago, the application support is rather sparse, but growing. It works great in those apps that are currently supported, though support varies from app to app, and is dependent on how the application developer chose to use it. |
