I would rather see a top 5 list from NL. What are you top 5 priorities?

You fool, it could be top secret industrial priorities, hence no word about it

You ever thought that if you might have tiny bit of positive atitude you might get a reply from NL ?

If you want to start now ... about how much positive atitude you had in the past ... better ignore me ...

1. The ability to create and edit projectors from within the Solidworks plugin. Yeah, I know it's "not possible." Nothing is impossible. If I don't have to use Studio, the rest of these become less important.

2. The ability to rotate groups of objects without altering their positions relative to one another.
3. North setting.
4. Displacement.

That's all I need really, at least that I can think of right now (excluding some critical bug fixes of course).

1 Displacement.
2 Animation without having to save each frame as separate mxs.
3 Rotating groups in studio.
4 Lighting caches for flyby animations (better to have VR-like walkthrough like promised in "you-know-what")
5 Displacement. (just to make sure, it really matters much to me)

DELETED

2: a huge scream-sound of a 50's b-movie scream-queen for each ray calculated (so you know how hard the math behind waxmell is)

3:a pop-up after each SL asking: do you wish to continue the render? (i sometimes rendered too many SLs ending up with a too clean image)

4:a pop up after each material i create saying: 'as easy as taking a photo'
(i sometimes forget)

5:during the rendering time where nothing seems to happen (SL 12 to 20) could we crunch some SETI data?

Best features ever invented! All just HAVE to be implemented, preferably before this Sunday (or maybe some other Sunday)!

1. Group rotation (as mentioned)
2. Displacement (as mentioned)
3. Scale down the font on OS X so the text actually fits the dialogs
4. Procedural textures i.e. noise, checker, fractal (take a look at Mayas procedurals)
5. Easy and logical setup of network rendering (current is so wierd)

1. Group rotation/scaling.
2. Cursor-centric zooming.
3. Support for 3D Connexion devices and the ability to use them to manipulate cameras.
4. Better projector handling.
5. Tilt/shift camera.

1. Tilt/Shift lens.
2. Tilt/Shift lens.
3. Tilt/Shift lens.
4. Tilt/Shift lens.
5. Get the Tilt/Shift lens parameters from the Film Offset values in C4D.

If I could have a 6th it would have to be the Hello Kitty GUI.

LMAO - Genius

If this is going to be a serious post, here's my list

1. Correction of all silly small things like loozing paths, mat names, etc in 3dsmax plugin and MXST. The editor should always find the maps if they are in the same folder with the MXM, no matter which folder I declare as my Maps path.

2. Better handling of cameras and objects (moving-rotating) in MXST

3. Lighting corrections... Correction of physical sky and being able to adjust the HDR intensity from studio while rendering. Also improved multilight for every resolution.

4. Material corrections like: automatic material conversion of native mats of all 3d apps.

5. Sorry, couldn't help saying this.... Speeeeeeed!!!

If this is not a "read by NL Team" post, then I vote for 8etty's list.

everything concerning output of lighting data:

- illuminance, luminance values ( virtual sensors )

- false colour ( maybe within the tone mapping features)

- ability to save hdr., exr. with photometric scale

Only one wish:

Basic camera keyframing in Studio.

1.- Texture color correction uilities in Maxwell Picker.
2.- Render region at full resolution in native app.
3.- Procedural textures.
4.- Ability to rotate compass.
5.- Ability to automatically translate maxwell old materials and native app. materials.
