[Bf-funboard] [feature suggestion]

[Jean Montambeault]

I'm still a poor coder but I'll whip myself into a good one as soon as 
my present serie of tutorial is finished.
=======================================

I'm after *power* before interface enhancement or even better rendering.
These haven't been suggested yet AFAIK.

I wish that:

1- most if not all parameters that can be set to a value by the user 
could be given an IPO and be animated. Already so many are available, 
why stop half way ?

Not to crow the IPO window with names : maybe just a RMB click on it's 
button and agree to a messagelike "Wanna an IPO oh you daring daring user ?"

I say, let's implement it everywhere it's possible by default and let 
the (power?) users sort out whatever can be achieved through them. I 
have confidence.

Wouldn't it be fun to animate control vertices in curves/surfaces like 
RVKs ?
Or change the noise size in a cloud texture ?
A changing colorband ?
Could it be done for the effects parameters ?
I could go on forever : that's my point.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement ; I thought fairly easy 
since some mechanisim must already exist to implement IPOs from the Ikey 
contextual menu.

==========================================

2- Make any parameter that can (or could, see suggestion 1) be animated 
available for the dupliframed copies.

Just imagine if we could use RVKs on them.

==========================================

3- I really don't care for and Undo, but if it leads to macro recording, 
actions creation, history handling then it's quite different.
Again, the idea is to give the user *power*.

==========================================

That's it.

Glad I got it out of my system at least.
