Just took the survey, looks pretty good. My hope is that CL doesn't make the same mistake twice - filling it with huge heaps of new stuff that sort of almost works if you have lots of patience. My impression is that this time the focus is on making it streamlined first and keeping fancy stuff for later. Apart from anything else, that's a lot more reasonable thinking - easier to implement and chepaer to develop. And satisfied customers for sure. Stable, robust, logical, fast, durable. Powerful yes, but not at the expense of the other stuff. Wishlist: 1. OpenGL! 2. A popup that lets you do a quick 'search' for a missing obj or tex (like Sonic Foundry's apps) instead of dying on you. 3. Windows that don't disappear behind each other. Try exporting a render, have the wrong suffix on the filename by accident and see where that little window goes... Poser goes real dumb. 4. Stable memory handling, incl. rendering. 5. Smarter light setup 6. A button to delete ALL lights (yes I know there's a python for this) 7. A possiblilty to DECIDE what a saved pose should include, such as MT values, trans and rot but also scale and Body values!!! 8. A Libraries palette with multiple columns at once so one can see more than a few thumbs at a time. Say a button at the top that pops it out across the screen. 9. Copy figure or prop in scene directly. 10. After rendering, quick return to preview mode - not a 30 second wait (on a 2,5 GHz PC!) 11. And again, stability. :] Fish
