[Closed] Max script for mouse controls

Hi,

I came across this forum while looking for a way to configure the mouse controls.

http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=155150&highlight=mouse

this max script looks prommising but it won’t load in max8

Does anyone know of any other plugins or scripts that will allow me to configure my mouse controls in max 8?

Thanks

If what you want is Maya-like mouse controls, check out our Switcher plugin for 3ds Max. There’s a free trial available and some showcase videos on the site.

The tool does allow a certain level of configurability:

  Regards,

Thanks. That’s exactly what i’m looking for.

Few questions…

-How long does the trial last for
-How long can it be upgraded for. max version 20? lol

  • why is it so expensive? $50 US is like $70 cdn that’s way too much for a student…for somthing so simple.

I can’t even get the payment order to submit, this is such a waste of time.

Does anyone know of any other scripts or plugins?

Thanks

I’m sorry for the inconvenience. We looked into the payment issue, and it should be all sorted out now. It’s something that affected only your specific case, and I’ve included further details about it in the email I sent you.

To answer your questions, the trial is 30 days -- fully functional throughout the 30 days with an intermittent license reminder.

There are free upgrades for as long as we continue the product.

Are we going to upgrade until 3ds max version 20?  That's hard to say because it's impossible to know for certain what kinds of changes 3ds max will undergo between now and then.

Finally, we also offer student pricing for all our products. Switcher has a student price of $29.99. The student price is available through this page.

Thanks,

Thank you for the info

just imagine if you’d been using max since you first posted this message your brain would have adapted by now!

I have read so many posts of people complaining about other people saying they don’t like mouse controls in whatever application.

I have always hated how you have to press ctr+alt and RMB to zoom in and I have been using max for years and only recently started using maya at school. I find maya’s viewport controls a lot more fluent and fast!

I find the transistion from maya to max really anoying. I use maya at school and come home and use max, cuzz I like the max software a lot more. It’s just the view port controls I find better in maya.

Mouse wheel for zooming? I only bother with the other options if I need to zoom in or out by a really small amount, otherwise it’s mouse wheel in Max and Maya. I was pleased when they put that in maya I have to say.

I’d prefer a plugin that goes the other way – converts Maya to Max style… anyone got one of them floating around?
