VaM SpaceMouse Plugin - VaM SpaceMouse Plugin is a two-component solution that enables 3DConnexion SpaceMouse devices in VaM



VaM SpaceMouse Plugin is a two-component solution that enables 3DConnexion SpaceMouse devices to control camera, object and manipulation gizmo movement in VirtAMate.

Components:

1. SpaceMouse Bridge (External Application)

Standalone Windows application that interfaces with SpaceMouse hardware. Captures 6-degrees-of-freedom data (translation X/Y/Z, rotation X/Y/Z). Normalises raw sensor values to -1.0 to +1.0 range. Real-time status display with data...

Spacemouse support for VaM was not something I expected to see today.

Interesting idea! I usually run VaM in VR, but will have to try this out at some point. ;)
 
Thanks.
Please give me some feedback if you do. I'm curious to hear if the default settings feel natural and if the ranges are sufficient for everyone.
 
Feedback!

#1 - holy poop!! I use a Spacemouse for CAD stuff and have tried unsuccessfully to get it working with VaM, this fills in a hole.

#2 - I don't mean to be at all negative with this, just trying to provide feedback on my own VaM experiences. You'll probably experience limited success charging $25 on a site that many of us haven't already entered payment info into, especially as a new content creator.

Again, I don't mean to be at negative; what you've done is really exciting and I hope you keep going! BUT. :) If this was $10 on Patreon, it'd be a non-brainer, I'd already have it.

The people who seem to enjoy a lot of success on here tend to provide free content, or 'lite' versions of their software. Maybe I'm not willing to plunk down money blind, but if you give me a demo that demonstrates that the software can interact with VaM in some slightly-limited way that whets my appetite enough to buy the full version - that's a better experience as a consumer of VaM content.

This is great. Please keep going. I wish you success, and don't mean to be over-bearing in providing unsolicited advice. :)

Excellent and valid points. Thank you for the feedback.
For all VaM users' convenience, I have published the plugin on Patreon as well.
However, the price was carefully set up to allow for sufficient support and compensation.
In other words, I'm not after the quantity of sales but rather a specific user base.
SpaceMouse integration was something I missed very much from day one with VaM.
Every CAD, Blender, Unreal, etc. user will agree that once you get used to it, working in any 3D environment that does not support it feels just wrong and so cumbersome.
I have yet to test it in VR to see if there are any real benefits to it, but for "flat screen", it's a game-changer.
