3DConnexion with Cinema 4D 2023.2 and up

As of Cinema 4D 2023.2, native 3Dconnexion support was removed. SpaceMouse and related devices are now supported directly by 3Dconnexion.

Windows: clean reinstall of 3Dconnexion driver

If your SpaceMouse is not working correctly, perform a clean reinstall of the driver:

1. Uninstall the current 3Dconnexion driver from Apps & Features (or Control Panel > Programs and Features).
2. Close all applications that may use the 3Dconnexion driver.
3. Delete user folders:
   • C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion
   • C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Local\3Dconnexion
4. Back up the Windows Registry (see Microsoft guide: Back up and restore the registry).
5. Remove the user registry key (if present): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3Dconnexion.
6. Install the latest 3Dconnexion driver from 3Dconnexion Drivers.
7. Restart Windows and test the device in Cinema 4D.
