The Reality UI is kept intact, with some great expansions:

• Everything is in one place, no "scattershot effect"

• Materials are almost the same but they have been expanded and some materials have been added, like Skin and Hair. 

• All texture can be any Lux texture combiantion. This means that you can have a Color Math texture that combines a color plus another color math or a mix texture nested to any level

• Almost all Lux procedural textures have been added. What you don't see in the video is the new texture previewer that I just finished coding. It's delicious!

• The new UI is also much faster!

BTW, I agree with you about the node interface. That  is why I didn't implement one in Reality 3. I debated that for a long time but I felt that nodes+noodles are just not a very valid UI choice. They are basically a literal graphic representation of the data structure and that is the first time that I see such a literal translation of data structures into UI elements. This is not an indictment of Poser. Maya, Blender and many other high-end 3D programs use the same approach. I just believe that it's not a very user-friendly system. The UI in Reality allows the same level of flexibility but with a "browser-like" UI which I believe is much more approacheable.

Cheers.
