Major Acceleration in Studio when Remotely Controlling Computer

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I know that not many, if any, artists are using a remote control software such as VNC to contol a computer with DAZ Studio installed on it, but here is my problem.  My modeling PC, Windows 10, is located in my office in the basement.  I like to do alot of my work from my living room, so I remotely control my Modeling PC with a remote connection software, currently VNC.  I have tried others and get the same result.  Everything is fine until I try to navigate the controls in the view pane of Studio, especialy the orbital cube. I cannot control these with my mouse because they move the model around superfast no matter how slow I move the mouse.  It has to be due to the remote control function because at the actual PC in the basement everything is fine. I know that this is not a real DAZ issue, but was wondering if someone else may have experienced this.  It is like there is an accelerator being used when remotely connecting.  I am going to see if there is some sort of throttling control I can fiddle with.  Also, is there another way that I can manipulate my models without these navigation controls?

    I haven't found a "real" solution to this problem, but what I do if I really have to do something remotely, is forget the perspective view, and use cameras. Tha camera locations and rotations I can control in the Parameters tab. It works, but takes a lot more time than sitting in front of the actual computer. So I try to avoid doing anything serious remotely. Starting a render is fine though.

    If someone found a better work-around, please let us know. :)

    the issues that you describe are inherent to the limits of the software not being designed to respond with fluidity you would need to do this. There are real time controllers out there but they are usually hardware based, they are specifically designed for this type of responsiveness, and generally start at about $1,000.00 US.

    Also if you doing this on your home router with some VNC or thin-net client you got from the web and you have any other traffic going through - streaming video, voip, devices sucking up IP addresses I'd start by eliminating that.

    I run a lot of automation which includes simulating human input via script (simulating keyboard/mouse input). I'm not running Windows10, but under Windows7 there is an option to "Enhance Pointer Precision", which I typically disable to get more predictable results. This might be something worth checking in to.

    Also, in general, there are many different ways to generate keyboard/mouse messages in Windows. I end up using different methods in different situations. If it's possible to control how your remote application is generating the keyboard/mouse messages, it may be worth looking into.
