Solved: 3DO Controls

Worsin

Im brand new to Quixel and the first thing i noticed with 3do was it seems im unable to rotate my model on the X axis (left and right).  In other words im finding it nearly impossible to view the SIDE of objects without having them end up turned at an odd angle.

Am i missing something here or is there no way to rotate a model in this way?

Hey Worsin, you're unable to orbit in the viewport using ALT+LMB?

Worsin

Well i wasn't able to but just now i updated and i can now rotate any way i wish!

This was completely broken when i last used it.  Sorry for posting this since its no longer a problem.

You can delete if you want

Nah, some future visitor from Google may find this thread and see that updating the software is the solution.

Actually this isnt solved for me as i thought it was.

Here is a quick screencast showing my issue.

It looks like your model isn't centered to the origin from what I see there, so that can make it more difficult to rotate around. In addition, you can easily swap views by pressing I J K L (tapping one of those buttons also cycles views)  inside of 3DO to rotate on fixed 90 degree angles.  

Let me know if that helps! I will unfortunately not be as responsive for the next eight to nine hours, as I do sleep sometimes.

hehe ok thanks for the help!

By importing the meshes into 3ds Max and centering the object on the pivot point i was able to fix this for the meshes i work with in Quixel

Issue is now SOLVED!

Glad to hear it!
