Perhaps a digression, but there is relationship between fantasy becoming reality, and the company that owns the code is key to that relationship.  Please be cautious about policing threads if they wander about a bit.  Associative thinking/discussion may get complex, but linear thinking causes fewer new neuron connections to form. ;-)

·         At any rate (most were covered by previous posts):

·         Texture displacement of plant objects (like bark on trees – as it is, it hoses the plant object).

·         Random morphing, for unique individualization within a plant species, while being distributed.

·         Boolean cutting (as in a 2D plane slicing through a sphere), with ability to break apart slices into discrete objects.

·         Option to keep Boolean tool, rather than lose it to the new object.

·         Option to keep material during Boolean action.

·         Ability to manually manipulate (move, scale, rotate) textures in UV space, with OGL visuals (as in trueSpace).

·         3D paint.

·         Enhanced physics, to include fluid physics simulations (like wave and ripple effects).
