Hi everyone, I'm going to a meeting on Friday to present my views(your life) to the follow questions. *Please* share with me here or in e-mail issues that you'd like me to predsent and stress by Friday morning. 1. Is the IPAS3 Toolkit working sufficiently for developers? 2. What bugs have been encountered in both docs and code? What impacts are these having on developers (harder to develop? some things can't be done? unstable Plug-Ins?) 3. Is a new revision of the IPAS3 Toolkit required?

From my narrow perspective as someone who wants to make IPAS routines that load and save different 3D file formats, I'd say, yes, please rev the IPAS R3-compatible toolkit. I can implement my file filters, but they're severely crippled by the lack of functions to make and set the attributes of materials. I also wish there was an easier mechanism for setting the parent-child hierarchy information within a PXP. The mental brick wall between the 3D Editor and the Keyframer is a pain. Of course, this is just a summary of what's in the longer posting I've made here and sent to you in private e-mail. And I'll second the comment that Autodesk's support people are unmatched in the industry. They're a joy to work with. Feel free to quote me in press releases. 🙂
