The great topic of things you like to see in wz4

So I put here some ideas and notes in bulk, maybe some are impossible to do, incomplete or unnecessary, but maybe some ideas here could one day lead to an achievement...

- colorize faces of the select cube object (to better distinguish select area)
- add to Select operator differents shapes or select by mesh
- Object Movable with the Mouse (Transform)
- Wireframe render
- Generate lines from a mesh
- bind with a physic engine
- Cut operator (delete faces and vertices from a plane and build faces on cutted area)
- Mesh operation (delete/add part of a mesh with another)
- full support for opengl and linux
- character Morph target animation
- Progressive meshes (LOD)
- smooth mesh (not subdivide, just smooth curves)

to be continued...

- true reflections with custom matrerial op
- game engine like in WZ3 but more progressive
- object selection with mouse
- global illumination or radiosity implementation with true|emulation switches
- walk operator from WZ3 but more progressive
- make demo with .exe extention function
- push|pull function like in sketchup directly in 3d viewport with mouse
- soft shadows
- sun system (full day)
- draw line in viewport like in sketchup
to be continued...

Hey, guys.
This wishlist is great and all, but if we go on like that, some day we'll end up copying the funcionality of Blender or C4D :))
What I would propose for now is:
- fix operations with splines (more 3d view interaction - some existing functions don't work),
- selection from 3d view;
- a truly dynamic particle system with collisions and spawning.

What Skinnytorus wrote +1
and
- The talk from chaos about "Hacking the Werkkzeug4" at http://www.indiepixel.de.
- ModLight Movable with the Mouse.

Everything mentioned would be cool but that´s a lot of work.

"- Object Movable with the Mouse (Transform)"
"- ModLight Movable with the Mouse."

But don't we already have this funcionality? I dimly remember that lights and models (yellow) were movable in 3d view after pressing 'y' by shift/ctrl/alt mouse dragging...

Yes, that´s true for objects+Transform but not for ModLight. :(

But what is holding us back from inserting a yellow Transform after Modlight? ;)
Are you sure Transform won't affect the Modlight? I can't check this now because I can't install wz at work :(

I've tried it but Transfom doesn´t transform ModLight. :(

you can move modlight if they are spot or point, directional is not movable.

thanks, ikam
I was afraid there was something wrong with my memory :). The directional light can't be moved because it has no position by its nature - just angle.

Globale Ilumination _ ha, yes thats cool idea (like in the cryEngine3)
64bit player support would be cool.

Hmmmm... I still don't get it... Sorry.
As I can see, there was a meeting with chaos themed as "Hacking the Werkkzeug4" and maybe there is a video recording of this meeting which is not available at indiepixel.
Have you attended it? If you have, what new features chaos was talking about?
