Scripting Camera to have a Fly Mode with arrows and mouse for Movement

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I am not a programmer, but I need the help of some!

I want: to be able to use my left, right, up and down keys and mouse to move around my model, I've used it in blender and love it, and could use it a lot with F360 it would be a dream to have this.

Example of it in blender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGnaDKXGVMc
like this but all I need is "fly mode" it be nice to keymap a key for this.

My solution: is scripting something to add this function, I've look and not seen one made but if this is already a thing then if some can point me in the right direction.

If anyone is willing to help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous .

It is certainly possible to manipulate the camera.  I haven't played around with doing it in response to the keyboard.  It should be possible.  Because you can only get keyboard events when your command is running, you'll need to create a command and it will need to be running but I think that's probably the behavior you would want anyway.

Thanks, @BrianEkins This is encouraging… 

I'm going to try and figure this out, and share what I find. Any tips on where to start? Any good articles?
