Control using PS3 SIXAXIS Hi Blender artists, I'm new to the forum and relatively new to blender. I have a lot of experience with Maya and I work in the games industry as an animator. I'm looking in to using blender as a VJ tool to control objects interactively using whatever control input devices suit best. I am testing with a simple floating dynamic cube, getting it to smoothly rotate and translate using forces allowing the cube to then slow to a stop. I have done some digging on the forum and on Google which threw up some helpful info but I just wanted to start a thread of my own where I could ask some more experienced blender artists some more specific questions etc. I'm really excited about the possibilities of using blender as a VJ tool and have loads of ideas that I want to explore, but I would say that my skills are more on the artistic than technical side of things so any helping hand you guys could offer would be massively appreciated. Thanks!
