Time for rewrite of studio but no time to add displacement?

Nice that we are getting an improved version of studio...well, nice for some since I don't ever use it. Would be REALLY nice to see displacement mapping (sort of a basic core rendering function) implemented before we get to version 3 of studio.

I truly don't understand the math here. No time to get displacement mapping done but time to write TWO versions of studio. Very, very odd priority here.

you can be pretty sure, that there are different teams working on different tasks.. mxw and mxst are 2 different parts of one product. in conclusion you could guess as their developement is independent you cannot tell what improvements or features were added to mxw when NL only tells you about the improvements of mxst.

You might now get the clear and distinct idea that the addition of displacement to mxw could already have happened -
and that you just cannot tell whether it did or not.

:wink:

A sneak peek doesn't mean a full list of improvements. Maybe it will be there and they didn't let us know yet (maybe it won't be there...). It's too soon to complain about that. :wink:
