Unfortunately I'm designing an interface for
an public installation where only a mouse will
be present (and what's more a Mac mouse), this
is why I have the two cubes. I tried parenting
them at the beginning, but I need the big cube
to replicate exactly the movements of the
little cube without orbiting around it. The idea
is that people will use the little cube to rotate
the big cube and then click on the face of the big
cube to navigate, is there any way to accomplish this
that you know of?
thanks again for your time
