LOVE IT. GREAT IDEA. i hope the people upstairs are listening! i also had a wish list item that i sent to gary a while ago. i hope they incorporate both of these. my idea was to have an object level material editing: in 3deditor, in the modify object/face/element section there will be a material option. once you clik on modufy material you are prompted to click on an object/element/face. upon clicking the mat editor screen comes up and at this stage whatever adjustments you make to the material only effects the particular entity(face/element/object). you also have the option of saving the new settings as a material or loading a material. but the edited mateial will only effect the chosen entity. let say if you have a blue metalic material in your lib. that has been assigned to several objects in the scene and you want to change the shade of only one of the objects/face… then you click on the entity using modify materil and only change that entities properties. leaving the rest of the objects unchanged. also this will eliminate a lot of mouse clicking when editing materials in the scene no more get mat./put mat/ autoput/ etc in the mat editor. i think this will be a very productive tool. well there is my story object/face/element level mat editing. in any case i love your idea. take care ara
