Enable multi-touch input from the trackpad
(Mac OS X only.) Mudbox currently supports the bluetooth-connected Apple Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse, as well as the built-in multi-touch trackpad in newer model MacBooks.
IMPORTANT:If you enable a trackpad as your multi-touch device, turn off Swipe between full-screen apps and Mission control under Trackpad > More Gestures in your System Preferences to prevent conflicts between the Mudbox gestures and the default gestures defined for the trackpad.
To enable your Trackpad as a gestural input device
- Open the Preferences window (Windows > Preferences).
- Expand the User Interface preferences heading, then set the Use Trackpad preference to the option you want.
- Set to Cursor and Multi-touch to enable the trackpad as a gestural input device, but continue to use it also as your regular pointing device.
In this mode, 1-finger swipe on the trackpad only moves the cursor and does not tumble the view. To tumble the view, use Shift + 2-finger swipe.
- If you have a secondary input device connected to your MacBook (such as a mouse or non-multi-touch tablet), you can select Multi-touch Gestures Only to use the Trackpad exclusively for gestural input.
In this mode, 1-finger swipe on the trackpad tumbles the camera as well as moving the cursor. To move the cursor without navigating, use Shift + 1-finger swipe).
This lets you use the trackpad for navigation while using your second device for sculpting and painting.
- Set to Cursor and Multi-touch to enable the trackpad as a gestural input device, but continue to use it also as your regular pointing device.
