Holy crap, wgreenlee used himself a few "laracrofts"... :-> All kidding aside, I agree with Jamball. 3DStudio has gotten where it is based on a strong SDK and an awful lot of third-party development (much of it free.) I thought the inclusion of a Python interpreter in PPP was a mighty step to the side... as someone who spent two years as a developer in a mostly-Python shop, it's more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. Daz needs to have a full set of function calls in the underlying architecture set up for potential developers. If nothing else, we could then finally have plugins to do simple and necessary stuff the interface can't... like, oh... DELETE ALL THE LIGHTS... (pet peeve) -nemo
