Hi all. time to rewrite a new wish list ? without the wish wich are include in the 1.5 Pack.

So this is my FIRST WISH:

An instancing geometry procedure... To multiply the trees, vegetation and car by exemple without explose the ram amount and the poly number...

Thanks

1. Speedy displacement (if it'll be too slow - no use for it then...)
2. Instances (With random material assignment support)

Those are musthave high-priority features.

#1 A correctly working v 1.5?

We normally use 5-10 cameras for our interior/exterior projects. Would be great to be able to select which camera to use from the mxs scene for the cooperative rendering. This way it is easier to keep track of updated geometery / materials. Now we need to save seperate files...

When rendering in cooperative mode, automatic loading of the merged mxi to the viewing window of MWR with "save as" function available.

sounds great!

i have another (small and not so important wish):

as server and manager are running on my main working computer, they are crowding my taskbar. would be nice if we could minimize them to the tray next to the time.

edit: aahhhh - you got to click on the "x" ...
edit2: thanks jomaga, i read about the silent option and forgot in an instant.

Zoppo, you have to run: mxcl.exe -manager -silent & mxcl.exe - server -silent, and both will start minimized
I have two direct acces to both manager & server in my start folder, so when my PC starts, both are started and minimized to tray

1. UV quick whip tool / or drag and drop function within studio.
- it is terribly annoying having to readjust each object UV
- in general i think UV adjustment in studio needs to be more efficient.

2. ability to detach faces/triangles as object in studio.

3. .MXS - .MAX comunication. After seeing how it is possible to export scenes from 3dsMAX into Real Flow, and then export back to 3dsMAX, i was hoping this would be an option available in 1.5..........would be incredibly helpfull in workflow department.

yes direct import of .max files into studio would be great if you dont want to work via the plugin

You can probably forget about a 3DSMAX .max importer in Studio because Autodesk has a longstanding tradition of never sharing that format with anyone else but themselves (and even that's rare!).

Better stick with formats like FBX 5.x and 6.x as they can transfer just about anything from any application.
