Max animated objects can already be imported, check the Infinite software update at e-on. Agree for a faster rendering engine! Details textures: Hmm, I think everything you need is already here, just play with the function editor more. Realistic oceans: Have you tried the "open ocean" node in the function editor? Now what I have on my wishlist for Vue6 is: subsurface scattering, displacement mapping and true volumetric clouds. Which leads again to a much faster render engine, otherwise, we won't be able to use these functions, even if implemented.
