This message was posted to the Carrara E-Groups list from Antoine Clappier. "Dear Dreamers, I have really enjoyed your posts about the Carrara modelers. I thank all of you for taking some of your time to let us know what is your opinion. I have re-read all the posts this morning. Find below a short list of the suggestions and requests: Background image in modelers Better object selection Multiclone of object (see MAX) Better smooth of spline and text objects Better documentation Showing scene while modeling. Displacement Mapping Metaball interaction in the assemble room Setting for each separate blob in MetaBall modeler Better selection in MetaBall Modeler Hair plug-in Trimmed spline General purpose Spline Modeler (free edition of control points, import of extrude paths, envelopes, .) Modeling base on photos. Tool to edit UV-maps Better magnet tool in vertex modeler (a la Poser) Faster method to name selection in Vertex Modeler Better selection of vertex, edge, facette in Vertex Modeler Measuring tool Nudge selection with keyboard Zoom in all views Center selection in all view Align and distribute curves in Spline Modeler Option to freeze a vertex object Consistent controls between the different modelers NURBS Construction history Jitter function in modeler Advanced formula editor (more control, data sets,.) Quicker access to fonts Lasso selection Better drawing tools in Spline Modeler Background image in modelers Better object selection Multiclone of object (see MAX) Better smooth of spline and text objects Better documentation Showing scene while modeling.

Quicker access to fonts Lasso selection Better drawing tools in Spline Modeler Some of you sent very detailed suggestions that are not included here but they are stored in a safe place and will serve as references for future developement. As you can see, the list is long. This is good because it means that there is lot of room for improvement. It also means that some of the suggestions will not be present in the next major revision of Carrara (but some other that are not listed here will be present!). Many of you have talked about bug fixes. This remains our number one priority. No version of Carrara will be shipped before an in depth testing and bug fixing. My thanks go to: Glen Allen Mark Bremmer Mark Cashman Edward Chadez Miachael Clarke Todd Davis Eric Dubois Doug Enter Carl Gilbert Brett Homer David J. Pierre JettRon Leming Harvey Mann Patrick Martin Angus McIntyre Steven McQuinn Ivan Milles Mike Moir Ty Morton Nils Nerland Douglas Alden Peterson Ludovic Piraud Matt Savard Clyde Stoeckel Harvey White Eric Winemiller Ken Wronkiewicz and last but not least: Cecilia Ziemer (by the way, I advise the Dreamers to take a look to the very interesting tutorials written by Cecilia and found in 3DArtist) My thanks go also to the anonymous cowards who do not sign their posts to the list!!! ;-) Happy rendering to all, Antoine Clappier PS: I suggest that we give a rest to the list. I will start the next discussion in a little while." Regards, Clint

Hi ClintH, I just have not been around in a while. I hang out more in the Lightwave room. Just dropped in to say hi.
