Hey Fred,
I pulled the trigger and ordered one.... anxious to see how it works. I

Wish I could assign the escape key to regular mouse right button, Keith i think assigned it to the spacebar. Exiting command fast needs to be improved upon.

When you get that mouse, it is programable as to what the moves of the mouse do.
I programed mine to give me the feel that I am moving the house with it and the camera is basically stationary.
With just the reg mouse it is like the camera is looking for the target location.
So open that desktop thing they put there and do some selections to suit your style. It took me
some trials to get it feeling right. and if you have 2 screens, it likes for you to click on the 3d screen
with the reg mouse for the 3d mouse to even work.

I'm using a Nvidia Quadro card RTX 4000, and have had one for many years. I feel like it does pretty good.
below is the look i'm getting out of just Softplan 3d. Curious if the Quadro is holding me back any.
seems to me the important thing is getting lighting correct.
This is a video and not just a still, and not a lot of time spent on it.
Just curious, if maybe someone can post a few looks, just using Softplan program.
Generating texture video with DX12 is super fast! I ran into an error while uploading to YouTube so sent it to tech support.
Anyone who doesn't have a 3dconnection mouse should get one, its great for presentations if you have the customer looking over your shoulders asking for a walkthru.
I gave the tech guys a written description with pics on how to get to upload, it's just a step that is needed to "bypass youtube security, due to SP certificate date!

I've always done my renders in Softplan, I spent a month just on render settings and working with ray trace. I include a render view on every cover page.
I also do "drone fly around" video views to show grades if needed.

What application do you select when setting up the 3D Space Mouse? Other?

Carl, open up that desk top icon select settings and then advanced, I have all of mine with the left checked, under Active. But you can reverse them.
with these checked it gives you the feel that you are driving the house in the direction to go, then inside I guess it feels like you are the camera, and walking thru the house.
Feels real natural. I see there are other adjustments, but I haven't figured out what the heck they do.

What did you use to capture the video? Softplan or a 3rd party?

SP, 3dconnextion mouse and the <ALT> key depressed while running the e3dConneciton mouse since its too slow even when modifying the settings.
I believe there was an error during the YouTube/SoftPlan file handoff with V2022 but worked well otherwise.
This mouse give very fluid movements while recording the render path for the video.
