Tony,
just a few words about the attiribute requestor…
of course unchecking a box does not "disable" the function. For example
Hardness is adjusted from 0-255. So what do you expect Imagine to do if you
uncheck the box? set the value to hard or soft? the same with color. OTOH on
the reflection it would make sense to switch it off if it's unchecked. Imagine
gives you so much controll on the surface parameters, I wouldn't want to miss
a single slider! <g>
I agree with you the interface could be better. Especially I think sometimes I
have to switch too much from mouse to keyboard again and again. There is not
much difference between 2.0 and 3.0 (in the interface). All in all I don't
like it, but it works fast (at least for me).
One other thing I really miss is the possiblity to change the screen
resolution. working in 640×480 is not ideal for 3D. Even if it was slower I
would prefer to have 800×600 or even 1024×768.
