by that plugin that lets you create various windows and add buttons, tools, or special view set ups for animating and modeling or dynamics and rendering. something that let you build and customize what is in front of you based on the task at hand. wether it is modeling animation or dynamics etc...
that would be very helpful to those who don't have time to learn the portion of UI building with MEL and the API.
notice i say the "portion" of UI building, i say this because it is an entire thing on it's own, nonetheless i'm not saying it's the hardest
either that or a noise generator, that can generate terrain or deform a surface and animate it. .. sort of like max modifyer thing.

i.e. turbulance, magnitude, frequency, fall off, buoyancy,Originally posted by ckyuk

or cycle etc.. basically you could for instance apply it to a character's face and i twill make it wobble, or apply to a plane and might be able to create a procedural lava type mesh or simply act like a noise deformer, or apply it to a sphere and displace it like a peice of gum.. that sor to of animation
good luck.
:tup:
the UI builder would be a very useful tool for any sort of project.

Just make a path and attatch a camera to it and bingo.Originally posted by Protheus
I just saw the new 3DS Max 7 features and the one thing that I saw that was nice was a 1st person camera view that lets you move through your just created scene - now that is something thats would be very nice to have in maya !..
you create your scene in wire and scroll through with it like you were actualy there !

And yes I guess there is a button that creates the 1st person view and lets you walk around
