Pavel, If this were available in A.M., it would add a whole new dimentionality to most animations. The default surfaces that are not reflective come out looking like colored paper or chalky plastic. I long for a more responsive Materials interface. The little chunks of wood thing" that we have to work with is drab at best, and there is little or no way to see the results you are getting. Where is the Lighted Ball that all other interfaces have? We need to see the results of material settings with light and shadow, not just a miniature flat postage stamp. This is 3D graphics, after all. Essential…? Yes. Displacement Maps, and a quick rendered LightingMaterial Ball. I would like to animate more successfully in AM, but I keep tripping on little "quirks." Sanford
