[Bf-gamedev] BGE to visual Presentation and Blender for easier usage for other gamengines.

[Jason Wilkins]

To begin to address missing features, is there a list of things that are
missing that somebody could look at and start getting ideas of where to
begin?  If not one could start by creating concrete list of things Blender
can't do (or can't do easily) that missing and what one thinks would be
needed to make Blender "feature complete".

My area is computer graphics and programming language research, so I need
to be pointed in the right direction ;-)
