Just playing with RC2 at the moment, rendering from 3DS MAX. I noticed it's no longer possible in the render engine to modify film ISO, shuttertimes and such during rendertime? You can modify them, but they don't seem to impact the final render or sl's.
Also, a render preview is missing from the Preview / MXI tab (it's just a black square).

edit: I do realise that RC2 didn't modify the actual render engine, but thought I'd put it here anyways (even though it's more of a bug/non working feature than a wish)

exactly Dutch designer...

16-bit as opposed to 8bit images from the renderer.

It seems such a waste to let a render run for 24hrs and then to decide that you want to tweak the levels inside Photoshop only to realise that all that information has been compressed into a 24bit image. Surely it wouldnt take any longer to generate a 16bit image especially given the renderers wide dynamic range.

If this is already possible with RC2 please accept my apologies and point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Sam

Some kind of function to subdivde objects or phong angle adjustment per object.

GUI Sliders (Up/Down Arrows) for all input boxes- it is currently a work production slowdown to not be able to adjust these dynamically. Currently you have to rekey all inputs.

Simple mathematical functions for all input fields.

It would be very nice to adjust parameters by entering something like Current value/2

and the value adjusts accordingly.

Dear Tyrone... use your MMM to adjsut interactively number... going up or down... Juan told me that...

Hervé: My pen doesn't have a middle mouse button. In Next Limits' old RealWave program it is possible to click in the numerical boxes and drag the pen (or left button with mouse) to change numerical values.

That's cool! Thanks Hervé!

"Copy currently selected material" command added to material popup menu.

Sometimes, you just want to duplicate a material to just make a slight change for another object. Good example is Emitter materials.

- ask to save before exit

- xml based config file & mxm mat
- a stantalone executable to make preview from mxm (+mxs) : like : "previewmat -mxs:c:\scene.mxs -mxm:c:\mat.mxm --output:c:\mat.jpg" ==> usefull to make an advanved mxm browser with search, adv search, etc, web based... great for team working !!

Not sure if this has been asked for before : "recent files" in file menu. As well as a memory of last used folder which could replace the default one.
