Jonas, Right now, even if one where to retrieve all the messages available under this heading, one would not have a very good idea about where various topics, i.e., modeling, rendering, materials, etc., have been and the direction they're taking. Consequently, I have a suggestion that would help those who would like to begin contributing in a meaningfull to do so, without covering paths already traveled. If you could go back to the archives and pull out all the Wishlist items, say for the past 2 months or so, I would be happy to organize the threads into document organized by topic, i.e, modeling, rendering, etc. This would provide a base for future discussion and a good historical record for newbies. Additionally, standardized header tags would would be a boon. This Message group doesn't seem to get so much traffic that it would be an overwhelming burden to see that messages are properly catagorized. If you're too busy to see to it youself, then a strong suggestion to contributers to mark their headers with standard topics, i.e., MODELING, RENDERING, etc, (you determine the standard tags), should be enough, I hope. This would be extremely helpful to all who wish to contribute here and to those product managers and implementors for whom the input to this subject is useful. Regards, BP

Hi Bruce, << If you could go back to the archives and pull out all the Wishlist items, say for the past 2 months or so, I would be happy to organize the threads into document organized by topic, i.e, modeling, rendering, etc. This would provide a base for future discussion and a good historical record for newbies. >> Well, I can understand how new members of our forum might desire the insights that a well organized collection of the 1000's of wishes that have been hidden here and there, buried (sometimes subtlely<g>) deep in conversation, over the last few years. However, so might some of our friendly competitors 😉 .. New members will benefit more from reading all of the 3DS related books that are publically available which glean many, many insights into maximizing their productivity and quality using the existing 3DS DOS product and much of the content is based on discussions that originated in this forum. Many of the authors of these books are forum regulars who read this forum cover to cover, and have been for years. New members have these as well as all of the contents of our libraries to learn from. jonas[adesk]
