D'you know we had the character hooked up to a joystick ages ago. It was a lot of fun and it's something that we seem to promise ourselves but always drop when a hideously complicated code-problem emerges. It's high-up on our wish-list....so with a bit of luck.....

I'm with Gravitation, especially with the idea of specifying where something should be when rather than the dragging option which is really a bit hit and miss.

As for the emotional editing, why not add an advanced button to the control pannel that gives the user the option to use a mouse controlled on-screen joystick? Then, the user can decide the degree of response and shift quickly between the type and intensity of responce simply by draggind the tip of the joy stick in the direction they want? So, for example, top could be angry, very top would be VERY ANGRY and just above the middle would be very slightly angry but not a lot more than neutral. And then down could be sad, right could be happy etc ... This would give a little more control than just clicking a button. THEN, once an emtion is selected at the right intensity an additional contextual action could be triggered by a simple click of the right mouse button.

Just and idea -

Oh, and while I'm on ideas, why not add support for 3DConnexion space navigator mouse?

This is gonna be great software. I just downloaded it yesterday (Thanks to 3D World) and went through all the tutorials. Great fun! Very easy app.
I would like (watermark free) bigger renders, at least 640 x 360...and I mean now!
I'm sure I could really make great stuff with Muvizu, but for now the renders are just to small for good use...Can someone please tell me when (and if) there's gonna be an update whitch allows you to render bigger movies? I really can't wait...

Hi Gravitation,
Thanks for your post and all your suggestions. We look forward to hearing from our users - especially users with wishlists of what they'd like to see from the application.
We're currently working on the continued improvement and development of the application and are aiming to release a beta version by early next year. This will include a lot of new features that will make the app even more impressive.
Keep an eye out for announcements on this site or follow us on twitter @ twitter.com/muvizu3D for updates.
Thanks again for taking the time to use and test our application.
The Muvizu team

I know the program is still in its alpha stage and more will be added but, heres a few things i would like to see and everyone else should add things too. Gives us a nice place to throw some ideas about.
- Give the ability to move the head the same as is done with the eyes.
- The ability to select which of the happy, sad, angry etc animations is used instead of just getting one at random.
- The ability to have the lights change colour, brightness, position etc as the animation moves along.
- The ability to have objects move in the animation, nothing fancy, spin, topple etc.
- Add basic particle, smoke, fire etc.
- The ability for the program to link different scenes together or just have more cameras.
- The abilityto tell a character that he has to be at point A by the time the animation reaches 7 seconds etc. It would remove a certain amount of guess work and trial and error.
Few am all done for now, anyone else got any ideas.
