Overview

This Blender 4.0 add-on enables ZBrush and FPS-like navigation inside 3D view-port

Mouse-look Navigation™ Blender 4.x add-on provides better usability and customization of basic 3D view-port navigation, in particular, ZBrush type of navigation and FPS-like movement. It's an alternative to Blender's default orbit/pan/zoom/dolly/fly/walk navigation. As such, it also adds an isometric view snapping via Alt+LMB drag.

Features

ZBrush mode - mostly useful for tablet users, since it allows to use the same mouse button both for painting/sculpting and for navigation (depending on whether you clicked on geometry or on background)
Easy switching between navigation modes without exiting the operator
Changes to view-port can be cancelled from any mode
FPS-like movement is available in all navigation modes
Cross-hair is visible in all modes and has a different look when obscured
Option to more easily prevent accidental view-port rotation in Ortho projection
Different turntable/trackball algorithms and different fly mode (more FPS-like)
Isometric viewport snapping

Upon installation, you can choose your preferred navigation via Blender or ZBrush preset or define your own under the add-on preferences

Thank you for your support!

Known issues

Known issues / Troubleshooting

The "Blender" trackball mode doesn't actually behave like in Blender
Ortho-grid/quad-view-clip/projection-name display is not updated
Blender's Rotate Around Selection behavior is not exactly replicated in sculpt/paint modes and when editing text-curves
Zooming/rotation around the last paint/sculpt stroke position is not supported
Panning is not possible when view is locked to 3D cursor (Blender does not provide a way to control this offset)

Troubleshooting

If the addon causes a crash on startup, try increasing the value of the "Keymap registration delay" preference. Usually this is caused by the interference of other addons with delayed initialization logic.

Example of the error message causing the crash:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) happening in the serialize function of bpy_inspect.py (around line 372)
