So, since Maxon people are listening to this forum and I don't know any other way to give maxon feedback or a wishlist, I try it here:
First of all, I like the new interface a lot. Even if I always rearrange the editors and windows to my 4k-Display which makes the 4 "hot-corner-buttons" somewhat useless, it feels much more up-to-date and sophisticated to me. BUT:
1) The top toolbar distracts the fast access of the menues. While it's great to copy things between projects via tabs, it is a thick bar on the top and all the menues are below it which makes ist harder to access (probably not on Mac - I'm on a PC). So, I would like a preference setting to switch the top toolbar on and off.
2) The Conten Browser is gone now (shock for me) and I imported all my 200 Gigs of stuff into the asset browser - resulting in an asset library of 23934 directories with 230,971 files! I hope I'm not running in some limitation of the capacity of the assetbrowser or the windows file system.....
But what I miss a lot now, is the ability to browse on the harddrive. With the content browser, I was able to quickly browse through my HDRI files which were fast displayed as miniatures (100x faster than the "content browser" in Maya). That option is now gone and I tried to find some replacement (perhaps Adobe Bridge, but I don't like it). Of course I coud import all HDRI to the asset browser too, but these are GBytes and afterwards I have hundred of duplicates on my system). So please bring back some sort of Filebrowsing with Icons.
3) I like the Virtual Sliders on Numeric Attributes but it could be improved. In After Effects, you can do similar but while pressing the Alt-Key, the sensitivity changes that you can better finetune. What about pressing Shift while sliding changes x10 and Alt /10. (Hope you understand what I mean). That would be nice to have.
4) It seems, that yet not all Icons were ready for release (i.e. "QuickShading Lines"). I hope, they are coming soon 😉
5) Another whish while I'm whishing: Since I have 2 computers but 1 license it would be nice to have a preference option to free the license when quitting as a default. Even made as a button in the interface, I too often close the window to exit.
6) Redshift integration. This topic is to to big for now and sould be addressed to the redshift-forum, but a working viewport resemblence of lights and redshiftmaterials would be more than welcome.
So much for now,
best wishes,
Marco
