heyas; let's not be TOO hasty. i LOVE the fact you can move all the interface thingydoodles around wherever YOU want. customization! i love it! you can even make the silly row of balls or tools into a column. i also like the ui dots. i have normal, and animation, and i can switch with one click. (actually i have normal in 3 different colours... well, i like variety sometimes.) the camera dots and pose dots are okay, but would be more useful if they were scene/file specific, rather than the same ones apply to everything you're working on. you know, like you save three standing poses of your human, then are working on the cat or some such... well, those human poses aren't any good for that! i like the interface okay, but not the mechanics. i like p2, where you click on a body part and it DOESNT jump around, it just gets selected. then you can drag anywhere in the window to pose it. and it doesnt twist around like an over-pressurized garden hose while you do it. i have to agree with momo, though. soon as i quit posing, the 'other' interface is better. (oh, and that zoom tool! switching camera views i've gotten pretty quick at, using the keyboard shortcuts. i spend most of my time trying to zoom in, then trying to re-center my view, then zoom in some more, find where the heck my model went... argh!)
