[tuhopuu-devel] Extention to Madprof's themes

[Mal]

Hi all,

I'm just new to the list, you guys are adding some cool stuff to Blender 
( I used to work for NaN, creating games with the gameEngine ( I now 
create real-time 3D content with Shockwave ( see some games at 
http://www.candomultimedia.com/games.htm ) and I'm interested in seeing 
Blender become an excellent game dev toolkit.

One of the biggest enhancements that could be made to editing in blender 
would be to have face level editing, rather than vertex level editing, 
by default.  Having to select a face by selecting all of it's vertices 
is time consuming and confusing, especially for new users.  Allowing the 
user to select a face in the style similar to how you map textures, and 
allowing the user to move, scale, rotate and extrude from there, would 
make the whole content creation process a lot more straightforward.

Also, integrating ODE's dynamics along with either it's or SOLID's 
collision detection would be great, ODE has a great dynamics engine ( 
btw it currently might need to be re-set up to allow for more contact 
points to detect if an object's face is sitting on top of another 
object, this might be why the objects sometimes jiggle and don't settle ).

Unfortunately I don't have time at the moment to code myself, but 
hopefully in the future I will have.

Best regards, and I hope I can give some good feedback on new features...
