1. multi-sun (don't know if possible...) to have an option to change the sun like multi light.
2. automatic temporary rendered image mailed to a mailbox every X hours, so I'll be able to check my renderings during weekends, with my home PC.
3. An option to re-calculate all material library previews to a certain settings stored in each folders .ini (so metals have their stage and quality, plastics have another one...etc.)

Than I'll be happy.
p.s. : that the maya plugin will not "lose" it's connection to maya every now and then :(

For nr3, you could do this pretty easily. Import all the mxm's from a folder into Studio, save the scene. Select all of them from the material list panel, rightclick>Reload preview. This will create a preview for all the materials. Ofcourse set the preview options/scene you like before doing this.

Then use Extract materials from scene from the material editor to save them back as mxm files.

not so.... I mean: some materials are better with a simple sphere preview... some need the towel model... some need the arroway model.... and since I update my library every few days, i think import-export all 100's of materials... ? with different stage models for previews.... why not generate it automatically, so I can set e.g. maxwell.ini in every sub-folder in the library that tells the mxed to re-preview that folder with a custom settings, and this way to live one of my computers working weekend on high-quality preview for my new materials?
