I'll check the hotbox, the alias/autdesk news letter had a few demonstration streaming video tuts (1 1/2 min each) about these tools. They look relatively useful. One reminds me of poser or DAZ where you key the bounding box for animation to create walk cycles and then you can press a button called 'locomote' and the character walks (whatever) for the amount of frames keyed in the time slider. something like that, think you can loop the cycle but this 'locomote' has the character moving forward starting on what appears to be a motion trail but then continues past it. I think the trail is there to key the character for the cycle.

anyway I'll look into it more.

another has a view that shows any normals that are in the opposite direction, they show up red and you press a button or two and it 'fixes ' it ready for rendering i guess.used a violin model as a demo,
