Joystick (HID) Xtension

The GripTools HID Xtension enables you to control cameras and other objects with game controller hardware. There are hundreds of compatible devices, available in nearly any (local) computer store. Have a look at the gaming/simulation department.

Steering wheels, Joysticks and gamepads are examples of HID-compliant (USB) game controllers.

Connect a device (or more) to your PC or Mac, Start CINEMA 4D with GripTools and soon you’ll have recorded some great motion tracks!
The best part is that your work will become very spontaneous and natural, with a realistic look.
Much better than you would ever create manually with mouse and keyframes.
