Ok, in answer…
1. Last time I talked to Stuart it sounded as if Move would have a
keyboard shortcut but I'm not sure if it's been implemented yet.
2. Bump mapping is improved. It is much faster (040 optimized) and with
new antialiasing routines, the edges as long as every thing else will be
smoother looking.
3. Surface mapping is also sppeded up as well as all of the procedurals.
4. I'm not sure what you mean by Shape Mapping. If you use an 8 sided
poly and look at the edges, it will always look like 8 sides.
5. Booleans are very easy to use. You have your object to be cut in the
foreground layer and the cutter in a background layer. There are a lot of
different boolean operations that you can perform.
6. I do plan an in depth review in the next(?) issue of VTU.
