Here's my wishlist for C. Radiosity Selective Aura; It would sure be nice if the 3D aura on glowing objects could be selectively turned on rather than turned on blanket wise. Depth of Field That WORKS! The depth of field filter in Carrara is pretty poor. Raydream did this very well. Better Soft Shadows The soft shadows option in Carrara is poor and doesn't take into account the proximity of the object projecting the shadow. Raydream did this pretty well. Better mapping. Carrara suffers a lot of fuzzing of boundaries for maps (trasnparency, and others). This really needs some fixups. Raydream did really well with this! Water Several other codes do water really well. Carrara needs a really good water modeler. Clouds The clouds in Carrara aren't bad but it would be nice to have a simple natural cloud layer model like in Bryce. Natural Elevational Texture Application This is really useful for applying snow, greenery, rocky stuff, etc. There might be something in the added smart pack that can make that work. Light cones that had a drop off distance. It would be nice if a light cone could drop off and stop instead of going on and on into forever. Changing an object to a vertex object and retaining an applied deformer. Sometimes you create an object and apply a deformer to it and you'd like to change it further. It would be nice if you could convert the object to a vertex object and retain whatever the deformer did to it. Raydream did this and it was nice. We'll see how many of these things make it in. I would naturally like all of them. -Kix
