Quote - Have you tried the morphing tool, which is the button right next to the direct manipulation tool?

The morph brush still requires you to hunt through a long list to find the exact morph you need.

And the direct manip tool is fine, but it only works with one joint/prop at a time. Or at least i cant figure out a way to use it with multiple joints/props. So if i want to scale a whole arm at once, i have to do it one joint at a time, including individual finger joints. Or if i have a bunch of props i want to move to a table for example, i cant just select them all and move them at once. If i need to rotate them together its even harder cause they all rotate around their local pivots. I cant just select them all and rotate them around a common pivot. There also need to be an option to stop it scaling with object size and a way to increase its line thickness so that its easier to use on high rez monitors.

So technically you're right and we do have a 'gizmo.' But it needs a lot of work IMO.
