I use a Wacom for painting and occasional toying around with sculpting apps. (Sculptris at least.)

I do think it'd be cool if some 3D app out there would let me use any ol' off-the-shelf analog gaming/sim joystick (like my Logitech Attack III) to navigate modeling space. That would be awesome for any large-scale projects. I don't see any logical reason why that couldn't be made to work. (And while providing better control than keyboard or mouse based navigation, because it's analog and I could adjust the rate at which I fly through the environment. It really shouldn't be much different than slew mode in the MS Flight Simulators or UFO in Flight Gear. If you ever used either flight sim, you'd quickly understand how useful that could be.)

Unfortunately, I haven't really seen a 3D app that supports a joystick in the (seemingly obvious) way that I envision it.

Oh wait - there may be a 3D software I know of that uses a joystick, but not for navigation. I haven't really used Daz Studio - but doesn't their "puppeteer" function also support using a joystick as an input method? (I remember watching some vid on YouTube or something.)
