PRESS RELEASE


November 2007

San Jose, Calif. – 3Dconnexion, a Logitech company, announced that its award-winning line of 3D mice is now supported by Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2008 and Maya® 2008. In its ongoing collaboration with Autodesk, 3Dconnexion continues to bring superior navigation and powerful solutions to the CAD and DCC markets.

Unlike mice confined to motion on two flat planes, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice allow effortless movement and control within the 3D workspace of 3ds Max 2008 and Maya 2008. By gently pushing, pulling, tilting or sliding the pressure-sensitive controller cap, animators and game developers can simultaneously maneuver 3D objects or move within 3D scenes using six degrees of freedom.

By varying the amount of pressure on the cap, people can easily accelerate or decelerate actions with precision.
