Things I like: 1. Interface & Ease of Use 2. Spline Modeler 3. GI & it's ease of use to get good results quickly 4. New realistic sky (getting very close - but not quite there) 5. Runs on a Mac! Things I'd like to see: 1. 3D texture painting in real-time (Similar to the old Detailer/Painter 3D Apps or today's BodyPaint) 2. More rendering options for Previewing animations (faster/better preview renderers that not only show movement but texture/lights/etc... that are fairly similar to what final render will look like) 3. More features/tools to the Spline Modeler 4. Easier/better landscape creation (similar to Terragen) 5. Re-design MetaBalls (something similar to Amorphium?) where modeling would be more like molding clay. Thanks for listening! Chuck
