Im an animation artist using a program called Maya and would like to know if you can use your TrackerIR USB device with programes such as Autodesk Maya 7 or 3D Studio? This program has the same princeables of FlightSim 2004. Such as X.Y.Z rotate zoom and pan.

Thankyou

The TrackIR coding has not been Incorporated into these applications, which is what would need to happen for it to work in the 3D environment that these applications create.

I asked a similar question ages ago, for XSI use. You need to use the SDK to develop your own solution apparently:

I had some success using the device to drive mouse movements as a capture, but that's only X and Y rotation. The results were promising, and definitely more natural than the usual ways, but I'd need to pay someone to make a TrackIR driver that could use all channels to give it the full potential.
