Fremont,
Calif. - 3Dconnexion’s line of 3D mice is
now supported by Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended
software editions. Digital-content creators, architects, and product
designers can use 3Dconnexion 3D mice within Photoshop CS4 Extended to
control 3D models without switching tools. Within 2D designs,
creative professionals can pan and zoom and adjust the brush size by
twisting the controller cap.
New to Photoshop CS4 Extended, designers no longer have to switch to a 3D environment when editing; they can set a 3D layer as active to enable 3D mode. In addition, 3Dconnexion 3D mice automatically detect whether a layer is 2D or 3D and provide the appropriate navigation style for that environment. 3Dconnexion 3D mice enable designers to move in three dimensions simultaneously, using six-degrees–of-freedom sensor technology. By gently lifting, pressing, and turning the 3D mouse controller cap, Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended users can view 3D models while designing. In addition, 3Dconnexion 3D mice complement the preview of 3D models in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and are an ideal solution for creating detailed texture maps.
