Here is a very powerful tool for iClone: The motion mixer.
The ability to choose a motion preset and combine them to other motion presets with options for the percentage override for each part of the body. Now you can mix and match increasing the ability to make even more unique actions. These setting can also be keyframed to transition form one motion to another seamlessly.
Example: Scene requires a character to walk and explain at the same time.
To do this you first select the the walking motion for your character then you choose another motion using the 'mix motion' feature and select the explaining motion. This opens a dialog with 4 percentage sliders to choose the amount of blend for each quadrant of the body. one for the right top, left top, lower right, lower left. In this example we will select 100% for the right top, 75% for the left top, and 0% for the 2 lower parts to keep the walking part.
There are so many uses for this feature, you can use a fixed pose mixed with a motion this will make the moving pose more subtle depending on how much the still pose is used. You can weave 2 motions that occur at different times for a smooth transition. You could have the character do things sitting that is mean for a standing motion and vice versa.Isn't this exactly the Motion Puppet functionality (already available) ? Cheers Roberto

I'm taking about mixing from the content.Simular to the masking feature for iKinect plugin, but with adjustable sliders for blending the animation clips?

I'm taking about mixing from the content.Long time ago Sen (I think...) showed how to create a motion for the Motion Puppet which wraps a motion from the content. This way any motion from the content can be added to the Motion Puppet (i.e., you will see it as one of the select-able motion icons of the Motion Puppet) and can be applied over an existing animation with masking. The feature is already available! Cheers Roberto

I wish for iClone to have some kind of crowd simulation. Where you can control many characters at once with simple rules and guidelines for them to follow. Throw in some randomness for motion shape and UV or colors of each character. Make a crowd follow a path or let them walk around and avoid obstacles. That would be so much fun just to experiment with alone. Imagine what epic stories could be told.

You can do this with softimage crowd sim and import the fbx into Iclone.
The problem I ran into was the polycount.
Iclone can't handle moderate polycount. It has to be low, maybe +-1k per character.
So they have to improve the mesh engine first before they do any crowd sim within Iclone.

yes, but you would have to either save their transform parameters so they don't enter at zero, or attach everything so it's imported as one asset that you can disassemble after import. There is no formal setting to import an entire scene, but you can apply the logistics in individual exports all the same so as you import each part, it simply falls into it's correct place. Also, no lights and camera.

There's no off switch for the message panel, it should an option in the preferences.
