Wacom is definitely better – there’s no comparison – and on the iPad, the Apple Pencil. Best regards,

I don’t have any spacemouse device but check in the “3d connexion” Nomad settings.
It’s a 3dconnexion panel “per app” where you can enable/disable some options.
So, i’ve managed to get the spacemouse working “fairly” well with the latest updates.
One issue I noticed, I have the UP/DOWN set to Pan Forward / Pan Backward. This control was much slower than the other pan controls.
A fix I tested, which is working well sofar, is to double up on the Pan Forward / Pan Backward. This doubles the speed and actually makes it workable.
I do notice that nomad ignores everything in the 3dconn. settings.
Here I’ve disabled everything, but it works just fine.
I just purchased nomadsculpt for mac. I have an macbook pro M4 max and a spacemouse I tried all suggestions in this post but it just doesn’t want to work. This is very disappointing since according to this post it’s been asked atleast a year ago to support the spacemouse. Now I’m forced to work with Plasticity and on my iPad with nomad the switching is annoying.
I had AI fix this for me on my m4max: nomad can’t use the 3dconnexion driver, zbrush and blender however need the driver, so I made a toggle to turn the service on or off:
This approach places a toggle switch in the macOS Menu Bar. Clicking it stops or restarts the driver on demand and posts a system notification via the Finder.
code Bash
if pgrep -x "3DconnexionHelper" > /dev/null; then
# Kill the driver helper
killall 3DconnexionHelper
# Send notification through Finder (bypasses terminal privacy restrictions)
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to display notification "SpaceMouse switched to Nomad Mode (Raw Joystick)" with title "SpaceMouse"'
else
# Restart the driver helper
open "/Applications/3DconnexionHelper.app"
# Send notification through Finder
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to display notification "SpaceMouse switched to CAD Mode (Blender/ZBrush)" with title "SpaceMouse"'
fi
nevermind the notifications: they don’t work
Perhaps I can send Stephomi a spare SpaceMouse of mine if that would be of benefit for implementing official support? ![]()
No, I’ll buy one when I’ll have time to spend time on it.
Is super easy! You will love it too!
