So I'm writing this a an environment artist who works in 3d Studio Max, Zbrush, and Photoshop.
First off, this does not work in Zbrush. On the 3dconnexion forums, they claim Pixologic should support 3d mice. Pixologic says they won't play favorites and add integration for custom hardware, but have supplied 3dconnexion with the Zbrush sdk, so they should be able to work it out. I'm inclined to agree, especially with the magic others have been able to accomplish via plugins (decimation master and the amazingly awesome UV master).
Great hardware. Terrible driver support. For $300, this thing should damn near make me breakfast every morning.
Pro: The thing that upsets me the most is that the hardware, when it works as intended, is fantastic. Once you get over the initial learning curve, navigating in 3d Studio Max is so fluid and natural. I would liken it to getting used to playing a FPS with a mouse and keyboard to playing Halo on an xbox controller...Read more
