[Bf-committers] Proposal to Remove Features

[Daniel Salazar - 3Developer.com]

Oh I didn't read about removing bounds draw type, this is the fastest draw
type by far and it makes no sense removing it. It makes things possible that
are otherwise impossible, specially with blender's ability to handle so many
instances that would make the viewport impossibly slow in any other mode.
Now I'm talking specifically about the *object* display type, not about the
viewport display mode.. but I'm sure theres people that find that useful
too. Also what is the reason this is unwanted?

"sticky coordinates" is something I've HAD to use in the past (followed
be a script to convert to UVs)  because of "project from view" not
working quite right.... if that's fixed then fine!


About sticky coordinates, I have been able to use the UV project modifier
without any kind of problem. I don't see the need for sticky coords to exist
anymore!

About particle billboards... again I use that for feathers on characters..
this would break my characters without possibility to fix it :s pretty *bad*
regression.

I don't mind redoing stuff at all, as long as there's a new and better way
to do it.
