animation needs for PoserPro:

1)  more than one channel in graph editor. Even just give me xyz for an actor

2. tangents with handles on the splines. Carrara's implementation is teriffic. That's you model
3. better direct manipulation gizmos in the viewport
4. "Pin my damn foot in place" and don't let it flop around lilke IK does. Same for hand.

Other animation-related items:
-- soft body collision/deformation
-- better styling tools on hair (again see Carrara! but only for styling)
-- collision in the hair simulation. It works really great to prevent hair guides going thru the mesh, but then it jitters against the polys; it wont settle down with collision on.
-- more than one hair guide per poly, which then controls density
