I have built, bought and tested different possibilities to animate water hoses but I have not found anything yet optimal.
I would hope for something similar to this in iClone. :)

I've just successfully tested the Hose inside iClone 6, so it will be available soon.

Here are vines I made that can be posed. The bigger one is perfect for a hose, as it is just a tube with a skeleton. Sometimes it works better to pose first and then turn physics on. It can give a better starting point. Of course, you can just animate the hose by the bones, and not use physics.

Attach the vine to your nozzle with the bones pointing away from it so the nozzle controls where the hose goes.

I found a need for this tonight (poseable hose) and it works quite nice.  Thanks Rampa!
