One whish again: Don`t implement our whishes in thousends of IPAS routines. Don`t get me wrong, the ability of 3DS to plug in external programs is really great. But I don`t want to handle hundred (or more) IPAS from hundred (or more) different companies. That means hundred (or more 🙂 ) different kinds of usability. A user-interface API doesn`t mean that every programmer makes his interface in the same way like other programmer. BTW, I think it`s not very good to buy a 3D-Programm for about 3000 US$ and pay 2000 US$ to buy the features that you really need. I think the most needed features should be part of 3DS. Exotic features like converting a image in a child-paint style should be available as a IPAS.
