Quick demo I made —> http://youtube.com/watch?v=CecG-4_lHDI

Hope we'll get official support via regular Blender release soon …

Got mine, it's cool … I wonder, when "plugin" will be officially released with the next major Blender version? Looking into 2.45, there is still no support from the Blender UI perspective, thus if just putting plugin into plugin directory, doesn't work …

Yes – I've just received mine. It does take some getting
used too but it is surprisingly intuitive…as you can
sort of "pull" the objects/viewport" towards or away from
you and "look" as if you where holding the object in your hand.

Very useful for on the "fly" natural modelling!

I will be using this one a lot.

Picked up one of the personal editon space puck! Awesome, tried out the last build from blenderbuids, worked great then you try using sculpt and it stops responding. From the postings on the 3dConnexion forums they're hopefully addressing that and implmenting full 6-dof (or what ever it's called) so that it does work within scuplt mode

But hey even without scuplt mode for £36 you cannot go wrong with the personal edition. Such cool gadget and the nice people over at 3dConnexion actually seem to be actively developing it! Grand stuff!!!

Hey guys, I found a place cheaper than amazon to get this Personal Edition version. Goto:

Buy.com and search for SpaceNavigator (no space between the words) and it will show up at $50.99 + free shipping!! I highly recommend this website.

Here's a really good video created by Rui Campos of the SpaceNavigator in action within Blender. Enjoy!

As my SpaceNavigater finds it's way from amazon to my house, will this be a standard part of the 2.45 build? I've been waiting a long time for spaceball support now it's here!
