that 3d manipulator has almost everything I wish blender had.
- rotation in angles more in center, in view, in axis color on a backdrop.
- nicer rotation handles
- translation shows more info just than what axis, as length …
- radial menu
That’s SecondLife, the gizmo has been like that for awhile. Best part about it is the visualized angle snapping.
So when is it getting into blender? 
When someone makes it for blender?
No one is planning on doing so. We need someone to break the ice here.
I wish I could do that then. T~T
I wonder how it’s done, is it just 2d drawn by code, or could you have a 3d manipulator 3d object like a mesh.
Well I was impressed at the real time depth shader! The manipulator reminded me of Chromoly’s stuff a bit.
me too…
