One thing I like about the iclone viewport navigation is the toggle between world and local transform gizmo. But it needs a Universal gizmo for more advanced users, like the one Daz studio has.

If IClone wants to attract more intermediate users (or cross app users from Daz or Poser) it needs to add 3Dconnexion support. This is a basic function many Sketchup or Blender or Lightwave or Maya users need to have, to not feel like they had to break their wrist to have fun in iClone.

Most DCC tools have 3D mouse support for good reasons. That's the reason why Poser and DS has 3D mouse support out of the box. Content creators love 3D mouse. Even 2D Photoshop supports 3D mouse. IClone is a 3D app that deals with scene setup and object manipulation.

Also a one click (double click?) to select whole figure/prop option (like Poser's posing camera) would make it more fun for even the novice.

I cannot imagine setting a small scene without these. Until then iClone 6 remains an expensive clicky wrist-breaker game not getting much serious animation use in my setup.

Just some constructive feedback. IClone is the edgiest anim-video app to watch in spite of some fundamental "lacks". Keep up the amazing improvements.
