1) Improve texturing. MS3D has low resolution texture support. Need high resolution textures. UV mapping so one can wrap model effectively with no stretching. Bump and displacement map support. Example: golf ball model with dimple indentions.
2) Raytracing. The ability to have lighting on model cast shadows. Pegacon's golf ball image.
3) Volumetric lighting- emit light rays to a 3D rendered scene.
4) Fluid simulaton or gravity controls.
5) Import motion tracking data, so one can align models perfectly within video projects. Example: Adding a 3D sign to the side of a moving car video.
6) Terrain builder. Create realistic clouds, oceans, trees, mountains, etc.
7) Import other models like Poser characters with group hierarchy, so one can manipulate and animate parts.
8) 3D painting. Allow one to paint on or sculpt models.
I know I mentioned a lot for the wishlist and many will probably not be considered. Reason being is that these are more than entry level features and Corel wants to keep things simple. Its a shame that none of these were offered in MotionStudio 3D after waiting years for a replacement for Cool 3D Production Studio.
