I would like a IPAS for paning large backgrounds. The foreground layers, series of frames could have animated drop shadows as well. This would provide that HAL / Harry "video" post look which would appeal to the typical TV client, right? The other big IPAS request is to provide animation to all the paramaters in the materails editor. ie translation rotation of maps, animation of color ramps, ets . all this functionality to be based upon motion curve graphs. -Richard Sher+

Hi Richard, ->I would like an IPAS for panning large backgrounds….animation of mat'l ->editor parameters…. Excellent, excellent suggestions. Another part of that "large background" IPAS that I would like to see would take a tileable bitmap and make a background "sky" that moves with the same functionality as the STARS(x) ipas in relation to camera movement. This would save the hassle of setting up a sky mesh and mapping the bitmap to it for use as a background sky that moves correctly with the camera.
