June / July 2010 Challenge "Movie Mashup"

Founded in 1997, e-on software was established to develop and promote the highest quality graphics tools with professional strength features, specializing in the natural world.

Established by graphics enthusiasts for graphics enthusiasts, e-on software translates its passion for art into tools for the graphics community.

The company has achieved worldwide reputation for its award winning 3D scenery generator Vue.

The 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator 3D mouse allows designers to navigate and position models with a level of control that is not possible with a traditional mouse and keyboard. By gently pushing, pulling, twisting, and tilting the 3D mouse controller cap, users can simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate models or camera views.

SpaceNavigator is used with a traditional mouse in a balanced and cooperative work style. One hand engages SpaceNavigator to position the model or navigate the environment, while the other hand simultaneously uses the traditional mouse to select, create or edit. By spreading the workload across both hands, traditional mouse clicks are reduced by up to 50%, providing users with a more comfortable working experience and a reduction in work-related fatigue.
