Hi Clearstar, We are all for making the plugins smarter as we upgrade them. We're especially interested in looking at all the "little" things that really are not that little when you work with them every day! That was one of the big hit lists for the upgrades. We did it with the max plugin in a few ways (turns out with the new update you save 390mb when rendering a mapped vicky! and about 250mb just when loading) I strongly encourage everyone who uses the lightwave plugins to send mail to service@reiss-studio.com, and let us know about any issues you have. This is the best chance to get them fixed, and as our max users will testify, our main goal is to listen to how we can make these easy to use. Also, we ususally take the people who send us the best explained feedback, and get them involved in the beta program when it's available. cheers! -Josh
