  • mouse behaviour (not the orbit thing)

    Posted by Jason W. miltt on May 18, 2009 at 3:49 pm

    hi:

    I am new to cinema 4d and think it is fantastic. One thing I cant find how to change is the mouse behaviour. When I click and drag and object the mouse cursor dissapears and then appears at the same place i originaly clicked. In other apps the cursos follows the mouse movement.

    This is annoying to me because i move an object and when i release the mouse i have to move my mouse again to where the object is to rotate it for example.

    Is it possible to change this to work like in Maya for example?

    Thanks.

    Another thing is that I cant make cmd lmb to work. In maya I use cmd lmb, rmb mmb to orbit, pan and zoom but in cinema i have to use alt.

    is cmd LMB click working for you?

    thanks

    Well default in C4D is 1-LMB is Pan, 2-LMB is Zoom, 3-LMB is Orbit (so is Option(alt)-LMB). There are shortcuts which use CMD so I don’t know if that would be a problem. Can’t test at the moment.
