Hearing about any Lightwave influence in this program thrills me to no end. I know that it's a matter of personal preference, but I like the Lightwave interface sooooo much better than anything else that choosing a runner up is almost irrelevant, although hearing Photoshop certainly doesn't ruffle my feathers. I for one appreciate Lightwave's intelligent, clean interface that doesn't make tools some kinda easter egg hunt. You want to move the pivot point to change an object's rotational center? Click pivot, not some ridiculous looking figure skater doing a spin icon or such. There are none cleaner in my opinion. For me, the more like Lightwave it is, and the better it integrates with it, the faster I'll run to the bank. I know that the purpose of this thread is not to play tug-o-war, but I just hope so badly that this program moves in that general direction that I wouldn't have forgiven myself for not speaking up.
