3DConnexion Support
Please give us support for 3D Mice. It is Agonizing to have to use alt and the mouse button to move around in a scene, especially when you are zooming in and out. My finger is about to fall off with how many times you have to move the scroll wheel to move short distances. I have used a 3D mouse for two years now, and it has made such a difference in the speed and efficiency of my work. Lack of any 3D mouse support is killing me. I'm not saying that it has to be the 3DConnexion Space Navigator or Pilot, but any 3D mouse is better than not having one.

I am about to buy iClone, moving from Poser. I installed the demo and what? No 3d mouse? I am hesitating now. 
The spaceNavigator is such a great tool.

3DConnexion actually exposes/offers a standard joystick output ported from the 6dimensional space mouse.
All that is really needed for us to do it ourselves, is a kind of macro program that converts those joystick outputs into a short keyboard sequence and then some mouse inputs. Basically turning the output of the navigator mouse into its equivalent kbd and mouse movements to achieve the same thing we would do manually.
I have tried a few joystick porting programs, but they don't seem to work right.

If the driver (and company) wasn't so unhelpful we could program the thing ourselves, but 3DConnexion only allows you to write a driver for each specific app.  Not all of us have the time or skills needed to learn how to use the SDK.  You guys probably do... :)

I know I have been asking/demanding this functionality to be added to iClone and friends, it seems like I am not the only one.
Now that iClone 7 is still being developed, it is the perfect time to add that ability.
Comon Reallusion, we spend big bux for your products, the least you could is add something we've all asked for, and is really not a hard thing to add; 3DConnexion already has an easy SDK developer's interface ready to go:

Was that so hard?
