Nice break down sw000p

I agree, the wait is difficult.
I check every day and hope for early release soon, but suppose we'll have to wait a little longer :-)

"are we there yet" :)

I just was hoping the early access was coming soon.   I can't build my stuff any slower so i think I will just have to do it in iclone 6.    

*goes back to my set building for my next not so blockbuster wierdness of strange*

There's room for mature discussion and debate (at least in my opinion), and Reallusion has always been quite tolerant, even of dissent, and long as it civil.  I didn't notice any intrusion on any thread sanctity.  At least it was relatively on topic of iC7 and the future of iClone.

And really,  I would expect marketing to be thinking up this kind of promotion,  because it has payoffs in multiple ways. So anyhow, marketing is not taking away developer resources beyond maybe a couple meetings to plan and later respond to data. 

But I'm not demanding they do anything,  it was just a passing thought,  sorry for intruding on the sanctity of this thread ☺

Actually,  it wouldn't be hard,  just compile a set of questions with multiple choice ratings, this is standard web app stuff,  and then wait for the returned info.  Maybe I wasn't very clear,  I don't mean to have essays,  but you could easily run a report in Excel or whatever and get nice fancy charts and stuff for management to gander at. Anyhow,  maybe it is bandwidth they don't have,  and yeah,  I should use the feedback tracker. But trust me when I say it isn't that hard,  but maybe they understand their customers early well already. That video editor thing kind of threw me as a strange use of resources,  but we all have different visions and priorities.

That's what the Feedback Tracker is for. It could certainly be promoted more, so that it's gets wider use. However, conducting a survey and compiling the results is a tremendous task, and then you have to sift through a lot of irrelevant material. I'd rather that RL spends their time and money on development.

My two-cents... two thoughts, so one-cent each...

a) There is a "graph editor" (curve editor) planned for iClone 7.  Based on history, it might be 7.2 or 7.3, but certainly before 8 or 9.  Hopefully that helps a lot with the "animation tools."  Plus Reallusion has a history of adding functionality to a release cycle that wasn't previously announced, so who knows what surprises might come in the next 12-18 months?

b) My concern about modularity is to ensure it is solid and reasonably seamless.  I am comfortable with Character Creator being it's own module.  That way you have all the controls dedicated to the task of working on the character without it being tangled up in the animation system.  The iClone button to "Edit Character" (using CC) and the CC button to "Export to iClone" seem to work pretty good.  It's logical, nearly intuitive, and I don't have to go through 5 steps each direction to make it work.  So I extend that thought to 3DXchange - make it as reliable and tightly-linked and logical as possible, and I'm okay with it being a separate module.
