I find using studio to be very frustrating. The camera controls, object moving etc are entirely counter-intuitive for me.
I've been using Lightwave for 10 years and for me to keep switching is driving me batty. A simple (like many other products designed to work with core apps) way to use Lightwave (or max/rhino/etc) keyboard shortcuts would be a lifesaver.
This issue actually keeps me out of studio. I find navigating and using it to be just not worth the effort.
Also, on the same track... recognizing textures is critical. I import an object with ten LW textures and Studio sees one big object. I have been unable to find a way to easily apply textures to sections of the object. Studio is very unresponsive in that respect, though I'm hoping 1.5 will improve. Importing LW objects should allow for 'convert LW textures to MW textures' even if it's simple colors... This would cut HOURS off a setup!

If we had just one lowly SuperStarDestroyer, all of earth's problems would rapidly become rather trite. I mean, who worries about war in the middle east when a 1.5km death triangle is in orbit.
